Lost in China.... sorta

Well, I got lost trying to find the Lomostore here in Guangzhou.

I got a cab to drop me off in the right neighborhood, but then Googlemaps and my GPS program (Motion X) completely failed to put me in the right place. After hitting my mark on the map and looking around, I realized I was on the wrong street. Guessing my approximate location, I headed in what I thought was the right direction. Stopping by a phone store, I asked some young guys if they spoke English, which they sort of did. After some discussion, they sent me off in a direction, which sadly, did not end up at the Lomostore.

After wandering around a bit, it was after closing time for the store, so I decided to head back to the hotel. I thought by heading in the right direction, I'd find some familiar landmarks. Nope. I then fell back on plan B, find a taxi to take me back to the hotel. Of course, when I decided this, I was deep in some local neighborhood. Interesting, but not getting me where I wanted to be. I turned around and went back to a main street, where I managed to flag a taxi down.

Taking a taxi in China is another interesting experience, which I'll comment on in another post.
