For all intensive purposes, Julie and I are living in a gated country club about 40 minutes south of downtown Guangzhou. I'm not complaining, as life "inside" the gates is safe, aesthetically neutral, and comfortable. The Clifford Estates is a massive planned community with man-made lakes, grocery stores, restaurants, schools, and even a hospital, all located within manicured, secured grounds. It makes adjusting to life in a country so different from the US a bit easier. The one big downside to life in Clifford is that it has no resemblance to the "real"China, where most people struggle to get by. Clifford makes life easier, albeit less interesting. These are a few shots from outside the gates.
