Summing Up The First Day
Hey all! Sorry for the delay in posting. Apparently there was something wrong with the cable in the place that I'm staying at. They do not have wireless in 汕头, they use LAN connection instead.
Anyway, I would like to thank those that woke up early in the morning (like me) on 14th May 2007 to send me off. To wake up at 4am is horrible. So I deeply appreciate effort that all of you did.

Anyway, Mr Tan got us some supplements for us to take in China. Very nice for him to do that. We'll finish it for our the betterment of our health. Hee.
Well, yesterday we arrived in 深圳 at 11.05am. After passing custom and all was about 11.30am. Two guys picked us up were 翁培镇 and 陈广奇 (This is their correct Chinese name. Haa! I got a PI to check it out - LIKE REAL!). They held a tag at the airport to pick us up. Haha. I've never felt this way before. In a way, we were their VIP. Hee. We stayed in 深圳 till 2pm because 广奇 had to prepare some stuffs back to 汕头. The stay there at 深圳 was scary because it was so chaotic and you wouldn't know anytime when your baggage will go missing. Oh yes! We had to bring along our luggage with us so it was very terrifying.
Only at 2pm, then we took a bus heading towards 汕头. The bus ride was quite horrible too! It's about four and a half hours. So, we've reached at 6.30pm. Then met with 翁总 and 黄小姐. Very nice people in total. Very hospitable. We went to settle down at our place then headed for dinner. Ate at this place where their beef and their special sauce are the best here in 汕头. It's in steamboat style. It was a nice experience because we had almost the whole part of a cow. Basically to list some are the tongue, stomach, breast fats (they said that it is good for girls' nourishment, if you know what I mean) and their different part of the meat. Thankfully no eyes and private organ. But before we ate the main course, we had roti prata. Yes, roti prata! BUT they told me that it has durian filling in it. Closed ones should know that I can't take durian for nuts. Well, to give face, I had a bite and the taste was tingling in my mouth, therefore, I passed the rest to Wendy. Hee. I have to admit though that the smell and the texture were slightly different from Singapore. Basically, the smell is not as strong and the texture is smoother. If you are wondering how I knew the taste because I used to like (kind of) it.
Basically this is how we spent the first day. Then we headed back to our room. Blanket was quite uncomfortable so used my jacket the whole night. Damn cold at night. Do you know that the blanket for short-term stayers are so much better than those long-term stayers. The quality for what I know is so much better. I saw it this morning (15th May). Asked if we could change blankets but it was impossible so no choice.
Anyway, I got to end here. Have to do english-to-chinese translation for some documents.
