Definitely worth it for the sense of freedom it gives you. I am already trying to figure out how I"m going to get mine back to London…Lithium batteries don't travel well. Good luck out West! Full Comment>>

Thank you Coineineagh. I wouldn't take my blogs too seriously - just using some artistic licence (or exaggeration). Chun Yun is often referred to as largest annual movement of people (not all creatures as you so rightly point out). I'm sure there are probably larger migration of butterflies, birds or something.

This new boat is great, though the routes are not entirely clear for foreigners (only in characters). Perfect if you have visitors to Guangzhou as you can take them on a cruise from the quay just near Canton Tower all the way to Shamian Island.

It's a good explanation (or excuse). On a first class carriage to Hong kong, I assumed most of the people around me weren't "villagers".

Hi Bayuvar139. Thanks for reading and for the encouragement! Re your comment, I'm living in Guangzhou where I more commonly hear the Cantonese slang phrase Gwai (or Gwei) Lo (鬼佬;). Mandarin speakers elsewhere might use Lao Wai (老外) which is probably the closest translation for Alien. I haven't heard Lao Gui yet? ... Full Comment>>
