2013 - Guangzhou, Guangdong, China (III)

DAY 04 - September 12, 2013 - Master G's Kitchen, Beijing Road and Daycare

Master G's Kitchen (廣少茶餐廳)
越秀区 北京路238号 名盛广场 首夹层C区 (市一宫旁)
238 Beijing Rd, Yuexiu District

This morning, I had a brunch at Master G's Kitchen. I really like the Chinese name because it has a double meaning. It is also very easy to remember. I finally had my first milk tea and some dim sum.







Another picture of Guangzhou from my uncle's office.


Beijing Lu/ Road (北京路)
It is a pedestrian street with shops. Apparently, it is super crowded during the week-ends.I found a pair of running shoes with a bear on it. Unfortunately, the store did not have my size because my feet are too big.


Daycare
This afternoon, in order to help out my uncle, I picked up one of my nieces at the daycare. The majority of people who go pick up the children are either grandparents or housemaids. Only 1 adult per child, with the daycare ID card, is allowed to go inside the school to meet the child in their classroom. If it is not the usual person who goes pick up the child, the parent has to notify the teacher by calling and/or writing and give the ID card to the substitute. The schedule in most daycares starts at 8AM and ends at 3PM. Therefore, they have to be picked up between 3:30PM and 4PM. Parents usually finish work at 6 PM. It is not possible for the them to pick up their offspring. In China, most of the kids have a better relationship with their grandparents than their parents. They grow up with the grandparents. The parents have to work either long hours or far away from home.

Underground Shopping Centre
Once I picked up my niece, we walked around in the underground shopping mall located at Jiangnan West Rd.

During supper, suddenly, I heard my niece saying: I miss grandpa. Children have a better relationship with their grandparents than their parents.

Tonight it rained...
