Day 1 Part 2 - Guangzhou

We got there pretty early in the day so the airport was still empty. It's weird to see a place you're sure is overflowing with people so desolate. The subway was 12 yuan a person (about 2 US dollars), and took us relatively 30 miles to Guangzhou and our destination for lunch. My dad told me that back when they lived here, security would only let politicians into the restaurant; much has changed. By the way, dim sum in San Gabriel is way better than it is in Guangzhou. Hopefully Hong Kong will do better.

We left for Taishan (Toisan) in the evening and checked into our hotel, which I don't have many pictures of because my dad told me to put my phone away. Apparently the iPhone costs 1200 US here and he didn't want me to get jacked.
