walking home

today, i found an alternate mode to get home from office - walking. peak hours in GZ is terrible, it's extremely difficult to get taxi and u'll have lots of competition. i've to wait at least 30mins for a cab in the morning.

the journey home took 20 mins and it was better than expected. along the way, i passed by

park






















fire station





















chong qing steamboat (a familiar brand back home!)





















fedex kinko (can't help noticing it ;p)





















police station





















hospital






















ah yat abalone (another familiar brand!)





















pottery shop





















bus terminal





















park n shop (my favourite supermarket!)





















starbucks (it's huge here! the only foreign coffee that can be found in GZ)





















mei xin (from hk!)



















and many banks. i realised that there're banks everywhere - just along one street, there're 5 different banks and u can find the same 5 banks one street away .

just counting the ones around my apartment within 5km, i've got bank of china x 1, china merchants bank x 2, icbc bank x 2, hang seng bank x 1, agricultural bank x 1
