China - A One Day Trip to Guangzhou

Filed under: Travel — Jen @ 8:35 am

On our trip to the Orient, we went into China for only one day. We took a bus across the border. We haven’t done this yet by bus. In the past it’s always been by plane, train or ferry. Notice all of the dark heads on the bus - except for one bald guy and Guinevere’s red highlighted hair!

And then there was this guy.

Sun, our factory owner friend who was sitting beside me on the bus, suggested I take a picture of him. I said “Why not?” I forgot to get his email address to send him a copy (the sleeping guy’s, not Sun).

Once across the border and through customs, we waited here for our driver…and took some photos.

We were going to Sun & Kay’s factory in Guangzhou where they make our Soft Tags and Soft Charm products.

These two are a lot of fun to work with! We enjoy their company very much.

It was a little over a two hour car ride to the factory. We took a tour and met with Sun and Kay for a bit, then headed back.

Sun & Kay used to work at another factory, then branched off on their own. We plan to work with them on many new ATB products.

When back in Hong Kong, Sun and Kay treated us to a delicious Chinese dinner. (Thanks you guys!!) What a fun day!
