This is more a plea for help than a story. I will be moving to Asmara for 12 months and would like to rent an apartment for 12 months. The problem is finding an apartment with a rent that is local in price (under $300 u.s per month) since I will be on a 'volunteer' living allowance. If you have any names/phone numbers/email addresses in Asmara of people renting apartments please contact me at wanddavid@hotmail.com

Thanks

David

I ended up hanging out with Shu for the rest of my time in Yangshuo and I was glad to have some company again after a few days of talking to myself. We went for food, beer, and the next day, rented mountain bikes to cycle around the surrounding countryside, along the Yulong River. What a beautiful ride it was (though my butt and knees hurt afterwards!).. we got lost among the ...

After going back to the campground, we enjoyed our official last campfire (with smores) before packing up to leave early the next morning.
