August, 2007. After a nice trip to Europe I went to Zhuhai, my father's hometown. I was there for a family reunion but my other cousin Sandy and I got there a week before the rest of our family arrived. It all worked out very good thought because I had some good friends coming to visit in the meantime. Cata and her brother's girlfriend were in Guangzhou at this time doing some work so they decided to come to Zhuhai to visit and get outta GZ. We visited Islands in Zhuhai that were very beautiful. I didn't know it but I guess Zhuhai has something like 150 islands!!! We also went to another beach near the city. We had some drinks and a lot of fun in the sun! The weather was great!. My friend Nick, from Bloomington, also joined us. He was working in Shenzhen and decided to come for the weekend. We also went to Bar Street and enjoyed local Cantonese Cuisine (at least I enjoyed it)!
My friend Marc and his girlfriend, Marta, had planned a trip to China and they made their first stop Zhuhai! It was about 3 weeks since I last saw them in Barcelona and we met again! I went to Macau to pick them up and give them a quick tour of Macau. To make a long story short, I got stuck in Macau that night because I couldn't get my visa extended. Thankfuly, my cousin took care of them for the night! After a loooong night, I was back at it in Zhuhai. I met up with Marc and Marta and we did some shopping and sightseeing. Then I treated them to some local Cantonese Cuisine at the famous boat restaurant in Zhuhai. After a few days, I sent them off to Yangshuo.
Minnesota is my home, but I also felt that Zhuhai is also a home. It especially felt like this after my good friends came there to visit!
