Yangshou, national holiday!!!




I just got back from the national holiday here in China it was from October 1 to the 7th. It was amazingly beautiful, so beautiful its hard to even describe i will add some pics but they cant do justice. Lisa, Vicki and I all stayed at Monkey Janes hostel, it was a great place. we had western style food the whole week....which was amazing. the fajitas were great, either because they were made well or i have been on straight Chinese food for the past month and a half, anyway they were very good, better then the pizza and the spaghetti. Ynagshou the town was great it was very touristy and swarms of western people, all the menus were in English and we had bacon and real proper breakfasts. we did many trips and i will post them under different entries, this one i am just going to talk about the town and the people we met. we met Vicki's good friend Gabrel, he is a tour guide and had a tour in Yangshou he took us all biking one day. but he was really nice and liked to be around people his own age. he showed us some great places in Yangshou. the main street, west street has all the cafes and bars on it along with all the knock off goods that china is known for. its a nice city that is small and good for tourists, but a great location to be able to get out into the country. i will update more later.
