Postcard From Guangzhou


It's been exactly a decade since my last visit to my family in GZ. I left a Chinese, and returned a Singaporean. I couldn't help but wonder what else has changed other than my nationality. No better time than this trip for me to find out. It was CNY eve when I arrived in GZ. Celebrations had already started from a 'home' downtown that I have never been (my parents had moved a couple of times since I left China). Thier new home was comfortable. As soon as I dropped my bags, I looked out the window and waited for the culture shock, the "wah" the "eew" the"tsz tsz tsz", you know? My nose was numb with cold. GZ has been going through a quickie face lift - with surgeons made in China. A picture worth thousand words. Here are photos that failed to surprise me but I bet you will see something that will turn your mouth into a perfect "O". Look closer, yes closer, dear... Dex
