i was lucky enough to go visit my cousin in Yangshuo, China for the past 8 days or so (with LARGE amounts of travel time included). He has been teaching english there for the past several months, and invited me out.
here are a few pics of how truly phenomenal this place is:
the view of the balcony of my cousin's place

what you see when you walk out the appt he is renting...a huge water lilly pond.

a view of the lake and bridge in the centre of town

the main touristy-type street, called 'west street', where you can buy alot of amazing things for next to nothing

a part of the town from a hike we took to moon hill

the reason they call it moon hill...a half moon has been erroded into a huge limestone mountain. me on the right, my cousin on the left

bamboo rafting on the Li river...basically drinking lots of beer in the sun. this guy was great though, even let us try our hand at guiding the raft ourselves...

shot infront of a temple just off the highway near the city

i'll post more pics and add some more commentary about the trip tommorow, if anyone is interested.
