Yangshuo

Wednesday 24/9/08

A few changes to the original schedule for today. Because it's been so stinking hot and humid, we all decided not to go for the planned bike ride this morning. Also, due to the winds that blew up overnight (apparently there's a typhoon near Taiwan which is affecting the weather), the hot air balloon trip that some of the group was going to take was cancelled. So instead we went to a calligraphy class. Who could imagine that painting "simple" strokes could be so difficult and frustrating? But it was a lot of fun, and I now know how to write the numbers 1 and 2 in Chinese, as long as I have a paintbrush in my hand. Give me a keyboard any day.
