and i'm done.
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN THAT TOOK A LONG TIME.
If you've read up to the beijing entries, you'll find that i actually ended up putting the HK entries BEFORE the beijing entries so there's like...10 of those if you're bored.

anyway, the last day in guangzhou was spent shopping (1st January)
DON'T EVER SHOP ON PUBLIC HOLIDAYS.
See below:


YEAH. Those little neverending dots towards the back of the photo?
they're people!
i got so scared, i dragged mum home instead. 
so in the end, we didn't actually buy that much and we were quite a bit underweight. 
go us!
(or boo us!, depending on how you look at it)


eating sugarcane like a chinese man.




on the morn of the 2nd
we woke up at 4:30am and caught a taxi to the airport
it was so early we got there in 0.5 hour which is half the usual transit time
yay for saving taxi fare!
turns out in china, you only need to be 2 hours early so the check in counters weren't even open yet
we ended up sleeping on the seats like hobos but whatever...

we sat towards the back of the plane, where there were a few empty seats so me and isaac took up a 4-seater row and mum slept in the last row.
isaac was sleeping on me when some random man sat down at the end of our row. isaac death glared him when he woke up lol.
i watched columbiana with zoe saldana and tried for most part to sleep but failed.

today has been the first relatively normal day.
woke up at 11am, and went out to eat all day with miss valerie rose. i may blog about that at a later date.
then tonight anita came over and we watched NZ and USA videos.
i miss anoushka so much when i watch the USA videos. :(

since i've returned to sydney,
i've mostly been sleeping at an average time of 4am and waking up at 2pm.
ABSOLUTE FAIL.
must readjust my clock by monday!

and now it's 1:32am and i feel i will not be sleeping for a little while...
dangit.
