Report from the road 2: Live from GZ

OK I don't have much time as I'm leaving for Zhuhai, then Macao, in a few minutes, but I still think about you!

Right now I am in Guangzhou, at the very south of China. 15 million people. Taking the subway train at peak hours is a lotta fun! The weather is infinitely warmer than all the places I've been yet, it's pretty cool to walk around in a light sweatshirt in mid-January!

I woke up with a massive hangfuckingover, as I abused the booze a bit yesterday. I had beers at Paul's place (my couchsurfing host), then we went to a bar with live music, free foosball and cheap gin tonic, and then to a club packed with Russians. We finished the night at a pizza place, I was so drunk I could barely speak. I ordered a family size salmon pizza with every meat topping possible, cost me an arm but it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had, not just in China but in my whole life. Badass. Paul is a crazy bloke, well-travelled (or well-traveled, should I say, as he is English) and a party animal. His roommates are super cool too. I get this occasion to once again say how much couchsurfing.com is one of the most awesome things ever, seriously anybody who doesn't consider this while travelling is a retard.

I also found hosts for Macao, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, should be interesting! I'll let ya know!
