Arrival in Guangzhou

16 Nov 2013, 0148hrs

Ok, here I am at Guangzhou airport, sitting on my luggage, waiting for my bestie and her partner, Jerrie to arrive. I took advantage of my yearly free air ticket while they took a budget airline. More than an hour has passed and I must admit that my butt is getting numb. it will be at least another 30 minutes before they are due to arrive.

I am really excited to be here and to be honest, a little apprehensive. 3 girls taking a taxi at 3am in a foreign land, kinda dangerous. The stories of snatch thieves, conmen and petty crimes did not help ease my anxiety at all.

However, let's send out good thoughts to the universe and focus on the more positive stuffs shall we? The purpose of this trip is a happy and exciting one to begin with. :)

I am hoping that this trip will bring me closer to being a bride!!! ^^ After surfing the online shops so often, I realized that most of the stuffs I bought online are from China, so why not just make a trip there and buy what I need? Stumbling upon information that Guangzhou has lots of wholesale markets was a happy accident. The silver lining to it? It has a wedding street!!! Everything and anything related to wedding, from accessories to wedding dress! It is a place where one could buy off the shelf or have it custom-made.

I have left 2/3 of my luggage empty with hopes of filling it with fake flowers, organza, sateen, lace, beads and ribbons. I just hope that my haggling skills will be good enough. More updates soon!
