About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

We are a young French-cantonese couple, now staying in Guangzhou and planning to stay there for quite a long time. We are quiet busy during the week but we free on the WE.
If any CSers wants to have a drink or a chat near Taojin, just let me know!
I enjoy travelling, trecking, drinking green tea in a tea garden, being everyday surprised by little things...
