Dear Cor,

I'm going to Guangzhou for a few months to study there (as an exchange student). Has anyone been there before? What do you recommend to do/not to do?

Meanwhile, in China

My brother spent a month there last year studying. He said it was pretty cool. He was in Beijing though.

He did a lot of traveling. Check out all the fucking shit they are building.

Another guy I know taught over there for a year in some po-dunk city (of like 1.5 million people) and said that it sucked because all there was to eat was chinese food.

...

I would totally love to visit China, thing is I pissed off this chick a while back and her uncle some politician over there. I don't feel like landing up dead.

It's like Chinatown everywhere!

I've been told that Beijing and Shanghai are really different from other big cities in China. And McDonalds delivers at home.

Yea I have pictures of my brother eating at a Pizza Hut, that was a fine-dining restaurant, with white linen and cloth napkins and nice silverware and waiters.

Haha yea, I have a friend who is absolutely mad about Chinese Pizza Hut. I'm pretty sure she told me that her dream is to work for them.

Tell me the recipe is at least better.

asia is truly the place in the world where your boundaries of what you might consider to be normal will be pushed pretty far...that being said enjoy it, you will deffo walk away with this with some new perspectives.

Bring a gas mask, that place is polluted beyond hell! Also visit a nice Duck restaurant. They have tons of cool stuff, you will enjoy!

Most hotel rooms have gas masks there anyway...at least the good ones. I think i have a pic somewhere with the "in case of fire" instructions. Here you would have a bunche of x's and a shitty diagram pointing to the stair well....there they had a comic book quality diagram on how to use a repel rope to scale down the building.

I'm not kidding, they are all ninjas.

The smell is only bad for a week, after that your nose gets used to it because it is always clogged. Tu es francais par contre, cela veut peut etre dire que l'odeur sera peut etre non existant....si tu viens du coin de Paris ton nez est deja detruit par l'odeur de les ordures et de la merde de chien!

and shenzhen is the capital of fake lacoste so get on it! A short train away.
