Hello everyone and welcome to the third episode of Weekend English Club. I hope you had a good Saturday and this week I will talk a little bit more about Guangzhou. I heard there is a lot of rain and a hurricane happening now in Guangzhou so I hope everyone there is staying safe and doing well. There is a lot I can say about Guangzhou so I thought it would be good to spend two episodes talking about this city. If you listened to last week's episode you know I visited Guangzhou not too long ago and I really enjoyed being there. I think what I liked the most about Guangzhou was the food and the nature. I come from a cold country in Northern Europe, so most months there are very grey and a bit cold. Guangzhou is the complete opposite, because it's always green, warm and you can eat very good fruit the whole year. I really enjoyed eating so many different fruits which I can not eat in the Netherlands, like mango, lychee, starfruit, passion fruit and more. I also experienced something called zaocha (早茶). In English it means morning tea, but you don't just have tea. It is more like a big breakfast at a round table where you can order a lot of different dishes and share them with your friends and family. If you never had this before I think you really should because the food was super good and delicious, and my favorite dish was hongmichang (红米肠). If you have a chance to visit Guangzhou you should try it.

I also went to a park called Yuexiu park (越秀公园) which is very big and very beautiful. It is very green and you can walk up the stairs to the top of the hill and see a statue of the five goats of Guangzhou. This statue represents the legend of how long ago five gods on goats came to the area and gave people food and since then Guangzhou would always have good harvests and was known as the city of five goats (五羊城).

If you visit Guangzhou you can go have zaocha and then visit Yuexiu park to see the statue of the five goats. It's a nice way to spend your day when it's sunny, so please go there sometime.

Next week I will talk a little bit more about a festival from my country called King's Day, so there will be a lot of new words. See you next time!
