Guangzhou in my mind

Today my article on the cancer forum which I attended was published in the papers.Although it was not as detailed as I wrote,yea they had to edit it because of space constraint,the message was clear.

I went to Guangzhou for the first time on the 1st July.I was sponsored by the Fuda Hospital of China as a journalist to write about their world forum on the latest treatment for the big C.


I love Guangzhou.The people are nice and contrary to what people say,it is a clean city.Maybe I was lucky cos where I stayed was the new city area.Tianhe area.The hotel was a 5 star hotel called Soluxe and my room was on the 36th floor.It faces the lake of the Tianhe park which was right beside the hotel.

Ofcos it was all about work.most of the time we were at the hospital for talks and all.But the Chinese treated us so well.Took us on the pearl river cruise at night and they even gave us shopping money.

The best part for me was the fact that I had the room all to myself.No sharing and it was a plush room.As an introvert i welcomed the privacy.

4 nights in Guangzhou and I still think about the city with fondness.To be able to go there was a gift from God and I will always remember that things cant be bad all the time for us.To think that I have been down and out,God lifts me up and gave me hope.
