Foshan

I'm now in Foshan. I am couch surfing with lovely host who do not have AC. It is much hotter here than other places I have been too. At night I spead a blanket on the balcony and attempt sleep there in boxer shorts as it is too hot inside, I try to imagine myself in a Maine winter too. During the day I wander about the small pockets of town that are still old. I have a camera in one hand and a lonely planet in the other, making me stick out beyond belief. But it's okay -once you wear shorts you never have a chance at striking the Chinese as understanding their modern culture.
