On the streets of Guangzhou
Buddhist temple
Ok, there is no Rumpke but they do have the Pearl River. Tons of garbage float in this river and this guy's job is their "garbage man".
Quite a change from Lanzhou's desert-like terrain. Guangzhou is very humid and wet.

The past, present and future.
We received a blessing from a Buddhist monk.

Guangzhou is in southern China - think Florida - however, this week it is rainy and chilly. Quite a change from Lanzhou which was dry and temps similar to Cincinnati. Guangzhou certainly receives maritme tropical weather since it is typically warm and very humid.
Parts of the city, we believe,were settled by the British just like Hong Kong about 100 years ago. It is evident by the European buildings and layout. If you have ever been to Charleston, S.C. then you would see that they look very similar.
We went to a Buddhist temple today and learned about the life of a Buddhist monk: no meat or worms (seriously), ......I think I got distracted at this point in the tour since I forgot the rest. Your teacher can fill you in on the rest...right???
We receive Julianne's visa tomorrow and take our oath to be good parents. Paperwork - Paperwork - Paperwork!!
