Amanda's Adventures
Hi,
Having a great time in China. Yangshuo was beautiful and we had a great bike ride through the rice terraces. We also stayed in a mountain guesthouse with spectacular views of the rice paddies.
Just finished a cruise up the Yangtse river and saw the three Georges dam which was interesting. I couldn't travel alone in China, its hard work. Luckily we have a good tour guide who can help us. Learn't a bit of Irish dancing which i think I'll take up when I get back, as apparently I was a bit of a natural.
Tried snake the other day, which wasn't very nice and have been traumatised by the market from day three as I stumbled into the meat section and witnessed a beautiful dog being beaten to death with a wooden stick.Haven't eaten meat since and was very shaken by the whole episode. Just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was much worse than it sounds but I won't go into detail.
Had lots of tests in Hong Kong. Everything from Ovarian Cysts to Cholera because knowone could work out why I was still poorly. Had some more antibiotics and feel much better now.
Overall, apart from the dog episode, China is spectacular and the people are great. Really friendly.
Take care.Love to everyone Mand xx
