16:19 Left China, but will not enter Hong Kong until 1830, on a train on a very long imaginary border...
From Foshan airport near Guangzhou. Taxi driver from airport pretended his meter broken and kept saying wushi. I said no...
At train station he didn't drive all the way up but gave me my bag I gave him twenty instead of fifty that he tried to get. He protested but I walked away.
He wanted to discuss a price and not use the meter after we already left the airport. I didn't argue since you hardly can get out of the car at that point. Just deal with it at the end. And it all worked out...
And he probably got double from what the taxi meter would have said.
Another adventure.
Soon back to hk, I already feel my caugh getting worse - a cold, but the dry climate of bj poses less trouble than south humid climate of Guangdong and Hong Kong.
Oh, here is a picture of the taxi driver, lol. If you can take another one.

Love your blog!
Should we send out a search party?
Just noticed your post is titled, "I'm nowhere". I'll say! In the words of that terrible Australian tourism campaign, "Where the bloody hell are ya?"
