I took the train thinking I would be able to catch up on some reading and writing. But I was wrong, I spent the almost two hour train ride talking to a Chinese kid the same age as me. He told me about some places that I should go to after Guangzhou that are very beautiful to see, with cleaner better landscape that hasn't been changed as much by modernization. I haven't decided if I will be going there, but everyone I talk to say it is definitely something to consider.
After the train he helped me to get to my hotel, which as it turned out wasn't the easiest thing to do. I had written address down wrong, and didn't have access to the Internet. I was surprised when he payed for my subway fair a couple of times, and was wondering the whole time if he was going to try and scam me in some way or another, or worse yet kidnap me like in the movie "Taken" except I don't think I would fetch a whole lot on the sex slave black market, but then again who knows red hair might be a luxury item.
After checking in we went to eat at a little local place across the street. I bought the meal, my way of saying thanks for all of the help he had been giving me throughout the past couple of hours.
