pearl river walk, guangzhou, china

our first night in guangzhou a stroll we did take,
first around sun yat sen university, for great scholars they make.
then we found ourselves along the pearl river bed,
where we saw badminton played and dance lessons being led.
we also passed an outdoor movie and lots of lights,
roller skaters, street food and many other sights.
several miles later we finished our walk,
grateful for insights to how the locals eat, play and talk.

tst earth hour, hk

after dim sum we went to tst,
the weather was cool, clear and slightly misty.
we went to see the light show but realized on the way,
the lights would be off as it was earth hour day.
luckily for us not long after we arrived,
the hour ended and lights came on - what a surprise!
