Working in Guangzhou, China

I don't have photo shop out here so photos are "as taken", using Nikon coolpix pocket-sized camera. Wish I had my DSLR but this one is more portable and discrete. Pretty much living between the Office, the Hotel and the mall which connects them, but going out for food in the evenings. Too hot to be outside during the middle of the day. There is a big sports park opposite, a lot of the photos were taken on an early morning walk one morning.

Great photos - I'd have thought veggie food would be easy in China.
