Day 5




Friday in Li-Jiang. did some great shopping with Cindy our guide. watched a sing/dance show that night. The guy (ill find a photo) Cindy told us was 'seven thirty... i mean seventy three' hehe. We visited lots of shops along canals which was very cute. The trip up the mountain was loonngg, had a 2 hour wait at least. but we managed to spend the whole time chatting to a group of chinese tourists who were learnin/teachin english.Some of the kids, 17 yearolds, did amazingly well. I think they enjoyed having someone to practise with. The Cox kids managed to get a few photos up there.. the tourists are often more interested in the 'beautiful australians' than the scnery about them.. this happened at most of the places we went. bus trip back down the mountain was pretty boring except for the part where we got to ride a yack!! oh my goodness.. it cost a few dollars to ride and the same for a picture.. in australia i can imagine the ride being $20 and $50 for a picture. we couldnt resist. although i think the one bec had was a cow in disguise, she wasnt happy.
