Warm, Green, Colorful!

I love the local custom about shopping for flowers for Chinese new year. Everywhere is the world of flowers - What a colorful world! And since Guangdong is located in southern China, it has warm weather all year around. Even in winter, you can still see green leaves and colorful flowers everywhere.

And now, in 2009, most cities in the Pearl River Delta have at least restrictions on motorcycles in their city districts, or sometimes a complete ban. And many motorbikes run on a fake or clone number.

Yeap, Cantonese eat almost everything like you said :) However, I'm one Cantonese who is less adventurous when it comes to food :)

Being Cantonese, I agree with your comment! We do eat everything! But we cook it to perfection & it all comes out delicious. Even chicken feet & ox tail! :)

I remember those restaurants from China and HK, just point your fish and then see them discussing if he’s ok or not. Great to watch. Great page and photos.

Prior to reading this page, I was unaware of Cantonese people’s eating preferences. I can’t help but to feel curious & highly interested.

Snake swimming in hotpot??? That's too scary! Those snake soup I ate are already cut & cooked. I don'y dare to see a live snake...

Xiexie Pengyou! I now realize I asked the right person about those flowers...I am not a "flower fool" myself but I love the first picture there! But how about white lilies, where do they grow them? On Kid Island?;-)
