Wind Ensemble in China

Well it is officially my last day in Guangzhou (guan-joe) and I have mixed feelings. I loved it here...everything was so beautiful and the people were so welcoming. All the concerts were like nothing I've ever, or will ever experiance again, and I can honestly say that I will never complain about our stage lights making me hot while I play ever again. The culture is beyond incredible and their history here is like no other.

Today we had our second adventure in the amazing city of Guangzhou. Our tour guide was gratious enough to let us sleep in and not have to leave until 10:30 which was a definate bonus. Even when we did have to leave, it was for a short tour of the city and an instrument shop until 2:30 pm. Although I enjoyed Beijing I definately like Guangzhou better. The city is very beautiful, but there are a lot of area's that seem like total slums. We stopped at a lovely park/mall type of place.
