Favorite thing: The nice thing about going to some of the smaller towns in China is seeing things done the old fashioned way. Once you escape the modern city shopping malls and industrial parks, glimpses of days gone by can be appreciated for all their simplicity.
Foshan is not exactly a village in the countryside, but it still maintains a certain small town atmosphere making it worth the short bus ride from Guangzhou.
Fondest memory: These two fellows are wearing similar clothes and seem to be performing some kind of synchronized cotton candy making demonstration using a pedal powered contraption.
The only difference one might perceive between them is the red and blue colors of the signs advertising the cotton candy's flavor, yet both say "pineapple".
Too bad; I wanted hami melon. (I actually had green hami melon flavored popcorn once in Shenyang.)
I'm always baffled in China when seeing rows of touts selling the exact same thing with no different price; whether it's eggs, batteries, shoe insoles or cotton candy.
