What you got here are pictures of my climb of Moon Hill. Famous because the hill has a hole that looks like the moon rising. The hotel I stayed in actually was about a 3 min walk from the foot of the hill.
The hotel I stayed in was AWESOME. It was in a small town about 15 kilometers from Yangshuo. I was the only person staying in the hotel, and the on foreigner in the town. It is run by two brothers, their wives, and grandparents. One Couple has a baby girl who is 4 (pic of girl with traditional hat) and the other just had a baby. It must of been 3 months old. They were super kind to me and helped me out a lot. Especially in saving money. When I go back I will be staying there.
There are also pictures of my cooking class and the food I made. I made:
-local beer fish
-chicken with cashews
-stuffed tofu
-eggplant w/ oyster sauce
-veggie with garlic
I was in the class with two mother daughter couples. One from england with a young adopted chinese girl. The other a Jewish mother with her daughter from chicago. They both were great. The daughter (Bari) from the Chicago couple was my age and we got along well as well as the mother.
After cooking Bari and i took a boat ride down a local river. It was great.
The las set of picture were of the spectacular water, light, and sound show that is produced by one of China's best director. The same person who is organizing the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. The show was called Impression and what a impression it had on me. It was sooooo well done and beautiful and at moment had me on the verge of tears.
This is was the best trip i have taken in China. And in one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. No wonder Chines considered this one of the most beautiful places in china.
I hope to have the videos up soon.
Well peace in the middle east
PS- the first picture was taken from the room i was sleeping in.
