Thanks to a field visit to a potential new unit for business I could visit Guangzhou during my stay in Hong Kong.I never thought that the Chinese towns were so pretty.The glitz of a western city is missing but the old world charm of these towns and cities is simply captivating.People there are so much like the Indians in their daily lives.Only the cities and towns are so much more clean.I did not find people easing themselves on the road .Beggary is no doubt there but apparently not as alarming as in India.The streetside shops are very much like what one would see in Indian towns .
At the Essar Packaging unit which we had visited there the Chinese employees were entirely different from their counterparts in Hong Kong.For a change the Chinese girls who brought coffee seemed to be smiling brilliantly at us although they could communicate nothing with us due to their ignorance of english.The Hong Kong girls have always found it difficult to bring a smile on their lips.  ¶ 10:27 PM
