I loved your pics of GZ's streets. I miss GZ so much and seeing your streets makes me happy that someone has captured them so nicely.

I've been in GZ for the last several months... I love the Latin Grill House in Tian He. It's just like dining out in Rio. Everyone says Japan Fusion is good, will have to try it sometime...
