Off topic , but had to look up where that city is. That city was formerly called Canton, China.

Hard to keep up with all the changes in the world. Bombay became Mumbai, Peking became Beijing, Congo became Zaire and then Congo again, etc.

St. Petersburg was Petrograd. Constantinople became Istanbul. And yes, the stewardesses have a right to complain about poor fabrics.

Fourth largest city in China - 13 million people - bigger than any city in the USA. Highest building is taller than any in the USA. Lot of big money there. And yet, most Americans don’t even know where it is. :)

There is actually some interest among the business community there in renaming it Canton again, since the name is better known internationally. The giant trade show held there twice a year (to which many of us make mandatory pilgrimages) is still called the Canton Fair.

Congo became Zaire and then Congo again, etc.

Regardless, no place you want to ever visti.
