Today I am going to Guangzhou China from Shenzhen with a long distance train. My journey started from Luohu District and I headed to Shenzhen Luohu Railway Station to catch my train.

Train from Shenzhen to Guangzhou takes just over an hour, I noticed there were few trains that went a bit quicker exactly in 60-minutes, unfortunately I missed this one just by 10 minutes..

On arrival in Guangzhou East station I got on a taxi to head to my hotel/apartment. Driver dropped me off nearby to the address where the my place suppose to be, but the I realized that something is not right...

That building is not there, so I did some research to find out that building is 2km from where I was..sadly their address on Agoda app was wrong and yeah it made my arrival quite stressful and I had to get on another taxi and spend more money...

Had a quick snack in 7/11 and then headed on my way, couldn't find any empty taxies on that road so I decided to walk a little. After 10-15 minute walk I managed to get on taxi.

This time I ended up at the right spot! Great success!

Check in my room and everything was good, they even got a washing machine..I sure have to wash some clothes, so it's handy.

I was hungry so I was going out to find some local restaurant and found one very quickly. I ordered some noodle dish and some dumplings as I was quite hungry, Never did I realize that I will get this huge amount of food...

Haha, oopsie I guess :D..
