What typhoon?

Typhoon Bebinca arrived in full force at about 8.30am. The howling winds were insane and there was no way in the world we would’ve even been able to walk out to the bus without being whacked by a tree branch or worse. It was the strongest typhoon to hit China since 1975!!
Consequently our departure time for today changed to 2pm which gave us the majority of the day to relax, nap and get our bags sorted. It was all over pretty quickly really.
On our eventual drive to the “fake markets” we saw an incredible amount of debris, fallen trees and bikes/scooters all toppled over. Impressively, we never lost power though.

Liam was a legend at the bargaining which was just as well because I’m so bad; I’m too soft. We didn’t buy much which is also impressive!!
Our last dinner was downtown at the French Quarter. Whilst it was an absolutely stunning place and the meal was awesome, it seemed a little ironic not to finish with a Chinese meal 😂
We have had an amazing time and I’ve loved China. I didn’t really have any idea what to expect but it has been brilliant; amazing people, great food and all made extra special by the fact I got to do it with Liam 🥰Read more
