The Hotel

To the families traveling to Guiyang in the coming weeks:  I am staying at the Sheraton in Guiyang and it is quiet lovely! Did I mention soft beds? Sweet. The breakfast buffet is amazing too:) Internet in your room is 20rmb an hour or 100rmb a day OR you can get it free in the lobby. To give you an idea on money. I got 615rmb for $100 US dollars. I was charged 60rmb at the airport for an exchange but my guide can get money exchanged for you for free...so if you can wait until you meet your guide before you exchange money. It will save you a little.  I ventured out into the city today. I am surprised at the amount of people that speak English! Makes my stay a little easier. Everyone is really nice here. I got a lot of stares and a couple of hellos. I went to Wal-Mart which is a 5-8 minute walk from the hotel. It has a KFC if you are not fond of Chinese food or you need a break from it. I had lunch at Grandma's Kitchen. It was ok and not too expensive. There is a coffee shop a few blocks away that is owned by an American! I haven't went there yet buy my guide was telling  me about it. There is also a Dico which is a fastfood chicken place nearby as well:) I've attached a picture of the hotel! Someone leave me a message and tell me if it shows up! I've tried to attach more than one but it would not let me.  Thanks!
