Guangzhou,also (especially formerly) known as Canton or Kwangchow, is the capital and largest city of the Guangdong province in the People’s Republic of China. Located in southern China on the Pearl River, about 120 km (75 mi) north-northwest of Hong Kong, Guangzhou is a key national transportation hub and trading port. One of the five National Central Cities, it holds sub-provincial administrative status.
Guangzhou is the third-largest city in China and southern China’s largest city. As of the 2000 census, the city had a population of 6 million, and an urban area population of roughly 11.85 million, making it the third most populous metropolitan area in China. Some estimates place the population of the entire urban agglomeration as high as 24.2 million, making it the 2nd biggest urban area in the world after Tokyo. The Guangzhou government’s official estimate of the city’s population at the end of 2009 was 10,334,500, an addition of 152,500 people from the previous year.

In 2008 Guangzhou was identified as a Beta World City by the Global city index produced by GaWC.

Selling Your Used Laptop Upon Returning from World Travels
Article by Tom Lasky
If you just spent the last year or so of your life traveling throughout South America, it’s likely the possessions your brought along with you are showing some wear and tear. Your shoes, clothes, and even your computer will need to be replaced upon returning home. Of course, you probably have at least some clothing back at home and maybe a few pairs of shoes, but if having a computer is necessary to your normal life, it might be time to make this new investment. Fortunately, you can earn some extra cash by choosing to sell that HP laptop that spent the last year traveling the globe with you. While you were traveling, your trusty laptop came in handy when booking your next hostel stay, finding tips on how to get from point A to point B, among other travel related inquiries. Perhaps most importantly, having your computer allowed you to keep in touch with family and friends back home. Now that you’re back and ready to start this new phase of your life with a fresh outlook, your old laptop may not be able to keep up with you. Although it might be difficult to decide to sell that HP laptop, at least you can put it to good use. Rather than stowing away your old laptop or even worse, throwing it in the trash, you should seriously consider selling it to one of the many online companies that specializes in recycling used laptops. Taking such action not only benefits you financially, but is also the responsible way to properly dispose of old laptops. By simply throwing a laptop into your trash bin you can do some serious damage to the environment, ultimately relating back to the health of the human population. The choice to sell your HP laptop is by far the right way to deal with the situation. Of course, you shouldn’t just try to sell your laptop to anyone, especially if it’s in poor condition anyway. Letting a professional company take care of all the work for you is easy, and they give you money in return! Don’t expect to receive the same amount of money you originally paid for the laptop, but even just a small amount of cash can help you work towards your purchase of a new computer. Your old computer’s parts can either be put to new uses or properly recycled by the company. Ultimately, the choice is yours whether you will sell that HP laptop or toss it in the trash, but keep in mind the effect of your actions. Having retuned from your South American travels, it’s likely that you’ve acquired a greater respect for the environment and protecting it so that people might live more healthfully. Humans certainly have a great responsibility when it comes to doing what’s best for the environment, and deciding to sell your HP laptop is one way to reduce waste and put old products to new uses. You can earn a little extra cash, and help the environment!
