WE TOOK ABOUT A 45 MINUTE TRAIN RIDE FROM HONG KONG TO THE BORDER OF CHINA.
AFTER GOING THROUGH CUSTOMS AND GETTING OUR VISAS CHECKED WE WERE IN CHINA.
AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR DRIVE WE STARTED COMING TO SEVERAL SMALL TOWNS.
AT THIS POINT IT SEEMS WE WERE BACK IN THE 50'S. THERE WE NO TRAFFIC LIGHT,
STREET LIGHTS, EVERYONE WAS ON BICYCLES AND MOPEDS. THERE IS CONSTRUCTION
EVERY WHERE. THERE WERE BANANA PLANTATIONS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOWN.
JUST AN AMAZING SITE TO SEE. THIS WAS FAR OFF OF THE TOURIST TRAIL AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE.
WE ATE LUNCH AT THIS ONE RESTURANT WHICH HAD AL OF THESE DANCERS AND PREFORMERS
BUT THE WAY EVERYONE WAS STARING AT US IT FELT LIKE WE WERE ON STAGE!!
BY THE WAY, I WAS A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THE FOOD WOULD BE LIKE ON THIS TRIP,
BUT I HAVE TO SAY, WE HAD SOME OF THE BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD. THE BEST PLACES WERE
THE OUT OF THE WAY PLACES WHICH SERVED NOT ONLY VERY TASTY FOOD BUT QUITE A BIT OF IT
TOO. THAT WAS ONE THING, WE WERE NEVER HUNGRY THE WHOLE TIME
SOME PICTURES ON THE WAY TO THE FARM:
THIS LITTLE OUT OF THE WAY, FOR LOCAL PEOPLE RESTAURANT HAD SOME OF THE BEST FOOD ON
THE WHOLE ENTIRE TRIP. THESE WERE SOME OF THE DANCERS THAT PREFORMED WHILE WE ATE
A LOOK DOWN A LOCAL STREET
THIS WAS A COMMON SITE ACTUALLY. BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THEY FAMILY DRIVING THE
SCOOTERS WERE NOT WEARING HELMETS. IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE 3, 4, ONE TIME EVEN 5
PEOPLE RIDING ON A MOTORCYCLE!!!
