 Lychee,
litchi, lichee, lichi, leechee ... definition quoted from MS
Bookshelf is: a Chinese fruit, a nut or berry
with a fleshy aril; the tree (Litchi chineasis, family
Sapindaceae) that bears it.

The
car is not starting. Maybe we are out of battery. |

 Whatever
it's called in English, it refers to the yummy fruit "Lie (could
be just a name) Gee
(branch)". Lychee
is in season from May to July. Kam missed a big harvest last
year and he is not going to make the same mistake twice. |
| Folks,
this is not
the standard way to start a lychee trip. If you prefer eating
lychee from the tree over eating tar on the road, drive safe on mainland highways.
Kam's destination today
is Dongguan (DG) - home of the best lychee. It takes about 2.5 hours,
by coach, up North, to get from Hong Kong to DG. So relax, the above
accident has nothing to do with Kam.

A shot at
DG's bus station

Train
used to be the major mass transportation in China. But in the
past 10 years, the development of decent highways has made motor
vehicle
the most popular transportation. It is huge business. |
| Outside
the bus station, motorcycle is a convenient alternative to taxi.
Two reasons Kam doesn't want to catch a ride though. 1) Kam
doesn't have the guts to do that in the chaotic traffic of
China. 2) Kam does have a problem rubbing his chest again
another male's back. |
| Kam's
cottage? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wake up. |
 |
|
Gee! |
It's
not possible spending a whole day just eating lychee. To
maximize the fun, Kam wonders into Ke Garden just next to the
bus station. It's a beautiful house
built in 1850 by a government official and is now preserved by
DG city. Check out his house and try to guess his housing allowance. |
