A 4hr bus ride after we landed in Guangzhou brought us through villages and places we hardly call towns. With the nearest supermarket a 40mins drive away (Shanwei’s town center) and the nearest place we can get amenities or snacks is a couple of road side convenience-stores 5mins walk away. Despite all that, the hotel’s been surprisingly good, decent rooms and internet connection!

We flew in the day before to meet up with the other half of the contingent that was already here. Went sailing for the first time here in a beautiful 18-22knots of wind with some big waves.

It’s Practice Race today and Race 1 starts tomorrow. With no internet access to many weather-sites (due to China’s infamous internet regulations), we are unable to get our hands on any forecast and everyday’s almost a guess as to what kind of winds and temperatures we’ll get.

With the ASC as the test-event for the Asian Games at the end of the year, it certainly is relieving to see more ongoing construction.
