Goodmorning from Kanton

Our last night today in Guangzhou, Southern China. Very busy with people on the city square, China is booming. They have something like the (destroyed US) Twin towers and in the middle the Kanton TV tower with radiant colours. Only the weather was very very hot, tropical temperatures feels like 45 degrees. Southern China is on the equator and has a tropical climate. But for sure if you want to travel, visit China, it's a world you would not imagine...

I returned from China, with a long delay, about 24 hours travelling time and 10 hours in the air (including waiting times at Chinese airports). This was due to the tsunami alert in Japan (Guangzhou is south direction Hong-Kong and Macau). I had to come from the south of Guangzhou, where it was rainy very heavily. when I left, but I made it back to Moscow safely. It was a very special trip. I got a good impression of China, which I'll write more about in the coming days. China is a unique country, very efficient. They have large airports, but I've never experienced such efficiency, speed, and friendliness. It's truly fantastic for tourists; even customs/passport control is incredibly fast, which you can't say about many countries. The airlines are fantastic. The Chinese are the friendliest people I've ever met, and I've travelled extensively. The only major challenge for Europeans is the food in China, but I managed to get through it. I recommend to visit China it's amazing
