Come back to China. LONGGANG.

Abandoned mannequin and old wall with burning incense.

We have to wait 12 days in Hong Kong for the flight to Manila. After couple of days we feel jailed in micro size room in Mirador Mansion. City is like one big mega mall: extremely busy and dense. There is no sense to be stuck in one place. We are going back to China to visit the fastest developing city in the world: Shenzhen. wikipediaLike every time in China we do not know what is going on. Where we are going and who is waiting for us. We are in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. The bus is full of people, nobody speaks English, we have a small piece of paper with some chinese signs (name of the place we are going). We came to Shenzhen in the morning but now it is getting dark and we still can't find the way to the place where our internet friend lives. The bus leaving the downtown and go faster and faster by the wide, four line highway into the darkness. Where are we going? After two hours the driver stops the bus opens the door and wave to us. We are getting off in front of new luxurious condominium where we are going to spend next few days in our friends flat. After long day of disorientation and craziness we are falling asleep.In the morning...we are in Longgang the satellite town to Shenzhen. The name means: city of dragon. It is an old chinese town in modern Shenzhen Economic Zone. In the old downtown we can enjoy our favorite places like stinky backstreets, food markets and dodgy restaurants without english menu.

Do you know what he is waiting for?

and now you know...

...but keep smiling like this hard working guy on the street in Longgang.

He is looking for a better place than a doggy market.In that shop they have gecko wine. Gecko is the small lizard printed on the label.

One of the best strange food we had in China. Fresh frogs meat in sweet and sour sauce with chili and spring onions. Excellent for breakfast.
