My favourite section of this young, booming, green and tropical city (so far) is South Lake Park. (South Park is easier to remember. 🙂 )

We splurged on a recommended tourist restaurant called Babel.

Not bad. Until a rat scampered across the floor between tables. 😦

I grew up in a city without rats and have not had many run-ins with them. But all those run-ins have been in China.

I’m in Nanning for 18 days at the World Gymnastics Championships.
