I wish I felt better.<\/p>\n

And I really wish I had availed myself of the free hotel on my layover TO Bali as well. Maybe I could’ve avoided that Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford stair fall.<\/p>\n

To be frank, I thought the hotel was connected to the airport and I would therefore not be able to leave to sightsee if I took that option.

Oh! This cartoon caricature metro card is surprisingly accurate in its depiction of the Guangzhou subway.<\/p>\n
