The girls found out the ugly truth about toilets in China...via the train. It's a hole! No toilet seat, no toilet paper and no soap. Aaaack! I spent a good 10 minutes "training" them and at first, they hated it. But after the 3rd time using the washroom, they were pros. I convinced them that these are great because it's easy to clean instead of our bulky toilets. Just dump soap and spray water, all clean! Jules then commented she wanted to convert our house washrooms into these...silly girl!
We arrived at Guangzhou station at 5pm but we missed the relatives who were supposed to pick us up. Apparently, they waited at the station starting at 3pm! They waited for 2 hours and left just as we arrived. Too bad.
We didn't have a China cellphone so we could only call using a phone from one of the shops which charged by the minute. After many unsuccessful attempts to reach the relatives, we decided to buy a SIM card which gave us phone access and data. That should have been the first thing we did! So much easier. The relatives will meet us the next day.
I contacted our landlady to get to the apartment where we will stay for the next 3 days and took a cab. We finally arrived at 9pm. What a day.
