Be My Guest

The annual May Day is around the corner, as lots of classmates are leaving school for a happy time home or travel. I asked for a leave of almost 3 weeks to concentrate all I have on sth…but not chilling myself out at home or outside, I am staying at my “workplace” through the days.

Just called home just now, who took up the phone was my 2-year-old niece, pretty and smart. She could tell me as uncle the first second I spoke, and then turned to my mom, her grandma, saying “it’s uncle”. Mom said she always rushes to pick up the phone whenever it rings, and claims no one could beat her to that. En, fair enough cuz everybody has a phone now, cell phone or telephone.

Ok, speaking of my family, I wanna tell u more about my hometown.

I come from a small place in Guangdong, not very rich though, it enjoys a reputation as the capital of bamboo, town of Wushu, and “Base of orange” recent years crowned. Yes, it’s Guangning county in Zhaoqing city, the nearest county to the Pearl river delta, for some reasons, however, it was left behind a lot in economy and civilization in the past decades of the policy of reform and opening up to the outside world, ashamed to its location, and some other medium-sized, county-turned cities nearby.

Delighted to see that the local government seems to have found its way to make it a rocket economic entity, and remain a beautiful place to live, that is to develop tourism industry featuring it’s resource advantage—bamboo, the highlighted points on its name card. 4 years ago a tourist site was built named “the sea of bamboo”, which means all you can see is bamboo till the end of the horizon when you place yourself on the sightseeing tower. As a blast of wind sweeps, the green sea of bamboo waves and rolls quite spectacularly. Then you are left wondering is it for real or in dreams? Plus the refreshing air which it’s hard to find in any other places in Guangdong, you have to knock yourself out to breathe making every second of your stay in Guangning count.

Oh, I was so much into advertising the place of interest, and almost forgot it’s just blogging.

Ok, you are very welcome to my hometown, and be my guest.

What about this May day vacation, or??
