What happens in Guangzhou stays in Guangzhou.

So this was the entrance to the wonderfully NASTY "hotel" we stayed in. Mike thought he found us a good deal for us to stay in.. but when the lady started walking down this creepy alley and then up 10 flights of stairs.. we all started to feel a little sketchy.. then we walked into the "hotel" (really just an apartment they rented out rooms) emily and i couldn't handle the overwhelming smell of what can only be described as death. However, Mike thought it was a good deal and the twelve of us stayed in three bedrooms. It was a memorable night to say the least!
These were the beds we slept in...... some of the girls found blood stains and rat poop in the sheets..
This was the sink.. that drained into the water bucket...
And the water bucket was used to flush the squater...
They were cooking food outside one of the windows of one of the rooms we rented...Did NOT smell good.. Circle K.. is OK! haha Not Fruit Pops...Fruits Pop! Weird spiderman... Emily demonstrating how we wear our backpacks to prevent from getting robbed!!
Cleaning the streets of China. They do this A LOT!
Asian fashion.. gotta love it!
Cute old men were all over this fun park we found! Some sitting around and some playing games!

I love the signs you find everywhere. Classic.
Visiting the huge Pagoda we walked around forever to find!
It was next to a Buddhist temple that i didn't feel was appropriate to take pictures of, it was beautiful though!

The monk just walking around!
I love this sign!
