And, oh yes, we had more road troubles. Really bad muddy patch. We're talking Willy Wonka's chocolate river. Buses and trucks stuck. We were stopped for two-and-a-half hours. I think it was all a ploy for some women to sell instant noodles to us for twice their normal worth. But you gotta eat, eh?

A group of men, who I presume were there working on the road and a retaining wall, were quite helpful and spent the entire time pushing cars and trying to get everyone moving again. I can't imagine you'd see that happen in the states...without money being involved.

So that's that. I'm in Guangxi now. Yangshuo. It's a big backpacker hangout. I'll be here about a week I think. On the river; beautiful karst mountain scenery. I will have some amazing photos to share later this week, assuming the rain lets up.
Also considering a trip to Macau, a special autonomous region near Hong Kong, to do some gambling. It's now officially bigger than Vegas. But we'll see.
And go Obama.
