... out on the streets, nothing yet open, the trees dressed in flashing lights and decorations, national day tomorrow. We found the river, slinking away into the south, but there were no lights on it, to our greatest disappointment. So we headed upriver, and found a place where we could get down to the banks, and sat on some concrete steps alone in the dark, hoping for some cormorants, and their fishermen.

... br>It was wet and the back trails were muddy. We walked for about 2 hours around behind Phoenix Hill, which is on Phoenix River, which is where Phoenix village is. In a way it was a little sad because my friend told me that the village changed from rice farming to citrus when the price of rice was low. Now the price of citrus is low and they are not taking care of the orchards. They all want to have hotels for ...

In the village we saw a home that was built during the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1912). The features of the home are a tile roof, a carving over the door, steps up (raised to avoid flooding), no glass in the windows - wrought iron with animals and clouds on the 1st step (means your life and job will be better and better each time you step over ...

... later, the bus slows down and stops in the middle of the tunnel. Everyone that had just gotten off, stepped right back on. Apparently, she told them to walk fast and catch up with us. I'm pretty sure the police knew this, they just wanted to make money. I couldn't believe it, it was TOOO funny! We were like cracking up for ten minutes. Well we got off that bus a little later in this tiny town where we hopped onto a rickeshay to take us down the mountain to the cliffs where the boats ...
