The overwhelming lack of quality is…overwhelming
Thursday, November 13th, 2008Yangshou, China.
It’s been over a week since I wrote last. We’ve been very busy with classes and also with doing some fun stuff since the weather is finally nice–sunshine and chilly, my favorite. We’ve almost finished all over our Christmas shopping and we’re planning on going to Guilin this weekend to finish up and then mail it off. I doubt they’ll get to the states by Christmas, but maybe by Chinese New Year (which is mid-January this year)! In Guilin we want to take a day trip to the nearby rice terraces that are supposed to be just amazing. We were told that they aren’t good this time of year since all of the rice has been harvested, but then we talked to someone who went last week and said that it was spectacular. In the end I think it’s the terracing, not the colors of the rice, that are interesting to us. So we’re going to give it a shot. And then from Guilin you can take a boat trip down the river to Yangshou through the karst mountains. I can’t wait!
