I left home at 8.20am on Tuesday and 27 hours later finally came to a halt in Guangzhou. That sounds like a long journey, but it never really felt like it apart from a couple of hours waiting in a railway station while jetlagged into 2008.
The flights were lovely on account of being with Thai Air and also on account of being in biz class, or Royal Silk as Thai prefer to call it. We were upstairs in the bubble of a 747 on the flight to Bangkok then ninety minutes on the ground and on to Hong Kong. A taxi to the railway station then a train into China.
Guangzhou was busy, hot and smoggy. The trade show was very good, although I have sore feet from traipsing around. Think of a product that has a tiny niche and China will have 200 companies making it. Impressive. And scary.
After a couple of nights and days we were back on the train to Kowloon, where I am now.
