    It's precisely because of people like the first commenter that the second commenter (being in Guangdong) then leads to the situation described by the sixth commenter.

          Everyone, don't blame them. Actually, sometimes I find them quite pitiful. It seems like their life has nothing else to do but slander Guangdong. Self-awareness is important; good things don't need constant promotion. Similarly, no matter how much you try to tarnish its reputation, you can't. It's like a Ferrari – you don't need to tell the world it's a good car. Africa and India are poor enough, right? But you don't see daily news reports about their poverty, do you?

            Clearly a 'laotou' (derogatory term for a non-Cantonese speaking mainlander). Go check out Tee Mall or a five-star hotel, and you wouldn't want to leave for even a minute.

              If you could afford to spend, you wouldn't be calling people 'stingy'.

                Then just go wherever it's cool for you.

                    Hahahaha, as a Northeasterner in Guangzhou, I'd say Guangzhou is really great... as long as you ignore all the non-human creatures.

                      I'm currently living in an older residential complex, but the apartment is newly renovated. I really hope there are no cockroaches, or I'll die!
