Yangshuo Day Eight.

Live teaching practice.  Ugh.

Journey to Moon Hill with Philippe, then swimming in the Yi Long River.  Legs are like jello.

Biking to Moon Hill, the highest point in Yangshuo.

Pushy ladies trying to sell us water all the way up Moon Hill, quite the little hike.

Success.

                                

On our way to the Yi Long River.

Swimming in the Yi Long.

Interviews for Buckland promotional materials. First gig doing voiceover work – while others went out, recording dialogues with Tina and Patrick for new Buckland textbooks to be used throughout China.

Evening dumplings with my friends at the Little Beijing dumpling and noodle place. Getting to know the owners better. Liu Lang Ming, you will be missed but I will find you again either here in Yangshuo or in Beijing.

Yangshou Day Two. Many New Friends.

Waking before dawn to the frenzied bustle of the fresh fruit market outside my dorm.

Exchanging money. Bank broken?

Climbing Man Hill in the middle of Yangshuo Park with Stuart and Philippe.

                                

The beauty of Yangshuo spread before me.

Three brits named Andrew, David, & Oliver.

Tsing Tao Qing Dao Beer.  Chinese lessons.

Three brits & a scot going to the dumpling store with no more dumplings – but delicious noodles.

Return to the dumpling store with Philippe.  English & Chinese lessons.

New friends.  Stuart the Scot, Olly & Andrew, English folk.
