After 5 days in Beijing, we flew back to Guangzhou for a day of shopping! Fortunately, it had ceased to rain when we went back there. This allowed us to do some shopping. Guangzhou is really a shopping haven. If you like shopping, you must go to Beijing Lu and Shang Jiu Jie and Xia Jiu Jie (Direct translation: Upper and Lower Ninth Street). Many people from Hong Kong actually shop there because it is relatively cheaper. It's like our JB equivalent. On average, a nice top goes for SGD10 - SGD13 dollars, and they look just like what you can get at big departmental stores in Singapore.

The next day, we walked across the custom to Macau (Yeah, Macau is that near!). Oh, how I miss Macau! I was there 3 years ago and the place held many fond memories for me. It is not because I struck a windfall at the casinos there, but it's the food! We went to Taipa Village for lunch and chanced upon a restaurant that was featured in many food magazines and news articles. They served excellent crab porridge and other seafood. Yummy!

Since we were in Macau, the Portuguese Egg tarts were of course not to be missed. We bought a mixture of 20 Portuguese egg tarts and Bird's Nest egg tarts back! Oh, not forgetting my favourite Old Wives' Biscuit. Macau is indeed a food paradise!



Finally, that marked the end of our holidays. I'm glad that we ended our trip on a high note. We will definitely visit China again some time soon!

As for now, it's getting ready for school next week!
