Guangzhouer is an English language blog about China. You might ask, “Why do we need another English language blog about China? There are so many good ones already. It takes me 20 minutes to get through my blogroll as it is. And, those big shots are based out of Beijing and Shanghai. You’re in Guangzhou! The rest of the world only knows you by your French colonial name! And, look at you two. You look Chinese. You speak the language! How can you offer any insight? How can you feel my non-Chinese pain?” To which we drolly respond, “Peking.”
First, a bit of nostalgia …
Junde 
joined GuangzhouStuff, a Guangzhou-based social networking site featuring local events & nightlife (i.e. eligible ladies and not-so-gentle-men) last year and was starting to exert his social media influence on this niche network. He was beloved by all.
Near the end of 2008, this purported pied piper 
by the humble name of Jay™ joined the site and after a hibernatory reconnaissance period, launched his assault on the public activity feed. He proceeded to blitzkrieg the hearts of ladies and even some not-so-gentle-men. We all settled into a groove of using GZStuff as our gathering place to 吹水 (shoot the breeze). All was well.
One fine day, Tina 
(hot, but angry, but still hot, GZ model) posed an intelligent question:
Excerpts of that discussion:
We followed up with a conversation at Starbucks in the background of this photo.

Which brings us to here and now. Our only aim is to present things modestly through the prism of our Ameri-Singa-Sino-Southern perspective, and in the process share informative and entertaining nougats of Guangzhou life. We are lazy people, if someone else had already done it, we wouldn’t be sitting here typing this in the plural personal pronoun. As for how we plan to evolve … laissez-faire! How else would a Southerner do it?
*This site was not developed for RMB368. Junde made it with Wordpress.
** Those are not Starbucks employees on strike.
