Where To Buy Towels In Guangzhou??

[Pianote]

For some reason I am having to hardest time finding small towels to wash my face with so I've been using scrubbing gloves I found...

Where and what district?

[889]

Plenty of handtowels in places like Wal-Mart and Carrefour. Or you can dare to try Taobao/T-Mall and get home delivery.

Easier probably in Amazon China: https://www.amazon.cn/ because you can choose English.

[889]

Buying from Amazon means longer -- probably much longer -- delivery times and then there's customs to worry about. Plus, the site is only partially in English when you select "English" as your language. Still a lot of Chinese to navigate. Not to mention that I highly suspect Taobao is a lot lot cheaper, not that I've compared handtowels.

 

I think the OP needs a good excuse to engage his developing Chinese friends and develop his engaging Chinese skills, and asking for help setting up and using Taobao is a worthwhile approach.

I love the OP's conciseness/laconism.

Surely these can be stolen from any good hotel (and several bad ones)?

I'm staying in a hostel that doesn't provide towels but nevermind. I was walking to the subway station today and found some towels!  I didnt have to go all the way out to Walmart!

Yeah, I'd like to hear more about this...

[imron]

My guess is something like this.

[somethingfunny]

I was having more trouble with the fact OP 'found' them.  Although I now see that they probably meant found them in a shop, rather than found them on the floor, like I had imagined.

[imron]

Or found them in her apartment after they'd been left there by the previous foreign teacher

[somethingfunny]

Yeah, basically, just something disgusting.

[Pianote]

Im not at my apartment. I'm visiting another province I'm completely unfamiliar with . I found the gloves Somewhere else here.

"I'm staying in a hostel that doesn't provide towels but nevermind."

 

For 100RMB/night you get towels.

[Pianote]

I upgraded to a 65 yuan a night hostel. I was staying at a shady hotel and bought the gloves from a place across the street.  Anyway, the hostel I am in now does not provide towels.

[889]

65元！I don't dare ask how much you were paying for the shady hostel, in Guangzhou no less. Or just how shady it was.

 

 

[Pianote]

150/night

 

even though im rooming with a few other girls here, my current hostel is much better.

What do these hostels look like? Can you post a picture of the interior? No need for the girls to be in the picture.
