Friday and Saturday nights are not all about bars and clubs, and nor should they be. The weekend should be about forming lifelong friendships with people you meet on crowded metro trains, taking a dip in the crystal waters of the pearl river and, if you're an English teacher at a training centre, working through the gruelling 8am to 6pm shift. But if this doesn't appeal to you, there is always drinking, as well as a host of other things going down in Guangzhou this weekend. But it's mostly drinking.
