China bound Pics

Hi Everyone,
With Easter just round the corner, Rose and myself were thinking of a holiday destination and Bali came to mind but we left it too late + had to pay a massive premium, so we decided to go back to awesome Shenzhen, China.

It's a great spot for shopping, food, drinks, running amuck. The Aussie $ also goes a looooooooooooong way there.

We depart tomorrow night for 11 days, looking very much forward to this trip.
Here are some pics from my last trip to SZ over Christmas 2011, I brought my daughter Eliza (16 years old) with me and she loved it. I'll be snapping lots more pics this trip and post them when I return.

Have a great and safe Easter Everyone.

Eliza and Rose


Rose and me




Go karting sponsored by Tsing Tao


Our Hotel


Suite was very good


Ate live seafood daily




And some wildlife




Friends

Great trip idea. Going to China on short notice seems exotic to us in the US - but maybe it's more like us going to Rio for Carnival.

I'm not sure how far Rio is away from the USA, but Perth to Hong Kong is approx 8 hours flight, then another hour before we cross into China and finally the hotel.

Nice photos! Looks like a great time and love all those chili peppers! Someday I would love to visit China and have some real Szechuan food.

EEEK! That (aprox) sixth picture from the bottom looks like a tank full of un-circumcised penises (hope that's not an inappropriate comment)

Arrived safely in Shenzhen, China, weather is superb and I'm back in my old stomping ground.
Enjoying a Guinness & Tsing Tao in the lobby bar before heading out to the famous seafood strip, might give those penis clams (as Kevin named them) a try. Oh yeah, pics or it didn't happen!!!
@Esexx, that dish is snake deep fried with chillies, somewhat different and yummy.
Pl don't worry, I'm safe (I think & feel), update as I go with my iPhone. Will post the pics from my camera when I return. Cheers

Cheers guys, 7th day here and loving every second, people have been fantastic, feel very much at home and more.
@ Philip, didn't bring my clubs the past 2 trips as I don't want to wreck my holiday : You're right, Mission Hills is awesome.
In my travels, I got Ink done whilst Rose was shopping, killed 2.5 hours there, turned out well.
Here are afew more pics, OH! Also bumped into a chap from the USA.....
More steamboat beef,


The chap from the USA, bumped into him lots of times mostly around street corners.


Bull's penis broiled with chicken, make you sexy.


Chicken & duck spare parts sold in a night market.


Other goodies at the night market.


More updates soon.
