... can afford one. In fact the difference in costs for a meal are indicative of a major divide - you can still get a meal for less than 50p or you can pay well over 20 pounds (which is what our fish meal cost). Afterwards it's back on the ferry and off in a rather uncomfortable mini bus (unfortunately) to the Hakka homelands.

These roads take us up into the mountains and away from the coast, passing more banana trees than I have ever seen before. This is a major fruit producing ...

"Main dish, but there are twelve dishes on the table already." "But do you want rice ...

I was having breakfast in my lovely Hangzhou hostel, but everytime someone opened the door, a cold gust of wind was blowing in, giving me a chill down to the bone.

Alexa begn to get blisters on her heels so we ended up catching a bus the rest of the way. You can catch almost any bus heading in that direction. Some will turn off not long before but buses 31, 50, 85, 28, 96 and 71 will take you to ...
