Last Tuesday's adventure to the South




















































All of this was in a valley only about two hours drive south of Wenzhou. Every stop was practically overrun with visitors like ourselves, and all sections of the hike had paved stones, but the trip was still an exciting one, and as you can see we got to visit some very beautiful sites.
Participants: Ben Clarke (the guy wearing the stocking cap), Me (the young guy with the light eyes), Mr. Mu (Julie's husband who invited us), Mr. Mu's college friend (now the headmaster of a school in the north of China).

After this trip we went to a nice little restaurant near Chashan town (next to the college) and had a good dinner. It was a good trip.

Wow Jake. Should we try and go there in November for a day trip?

Regarding holidays: Ling says that the governemet is trying to encourage new holidays, because it is the only time you can get Chinese people to spend money. On other celebration days (birthdays, new Year,etc.) they give each other money and it all just passes around.
