So . . . bags are packed and off we go tomorrow back to little Copenhagen. Ida has successfully been intergrated into the P.R.C. (Beautiful Moral) and Signe has eaten all the Chinese food she possibly could. Cosy Clothes has learnt a lot in China, coming home with suitcases full of . . . . Knick-Knack Tingeltangel!

Rainy Day at Heltex


Yesterday we went to Faushan to visit a cashmere knitting factory.We still luve da cashhmeeere!!There are approximately 13 stage in the production of a knitted garment.(this not including goatherding and spinning of yarn!)

It take 3-4 years to train a finegage cashmere knitter. (Preferably young abled-bodied men and women under 30 yrs old!)


Shit happens. This little device is undoing wrongly knitted piece and spinning the different yarn to be used again.


Tea Time at the factory.

"Uhh, so you can do 18 gage!!?"


So, this was one of the many checkpoint for holes and mistakes on the precious cashmere garments. At another station patient workers were removing nullermaends from the sweaters with a tweezer!

Tian He


Hanging out at the Mall in Tian He Sunday afternoon.


Scenic mall environment.


Blinking light decoration everywhere.

Consume!Consume!Consume!

So . . . . words cannot quite describe shopping at Park'n'Shop supermarket on a Sunday afternoon. Suffice to say we poured ourselves a big long drink to calm our nerves when we got home!Blasting loudspeakers, widescreen TV's advertising new products, tastings of all sorts, emaculately dressed kiddies running about.(They are all Princes and Prinsesses due to PRC's one child policy).Shopping together with all the millions of Chinese really make you realise how huge this country's consumer market is.

Det var simpelthen for meget!

Guabgzhou By Night

Saturday night in Guangzhou. We met with our Hair Stylist, Ken for a drink and dinner. Very plush/tacky lounge bar.



Later we went to Tenny-bobber Bubble Tea cafe! For those of you who don't know what Bubble Tea is: it comes from Taiwan and is basically various flavoured cold drinks with small jelly balls. You drink it with a big big straw, sucking up the balls!

Later we wnet to Babyface Nightclub. The place was packed with gangsta Chinese, Korean and Africans! Bootie down gangsta-style!Ida and I had enormous difficulty ordering our beers? For some reason they had an very complicated system, which we never really understood. We couldn't exactly order at the bar(or did we?), however waiters on the dancefloor hurried over and took our order instead? 10 minutes later a flustered waiter stood in the middle of the dancefloor trying frantically to open beerbottles in front of us!!!?

Total confussion.

Fun night though.
