It's a big country. There are bound to be places far away from all the pollution and crap that goes on in the cities.

I've seen some pretty jaw-dropping pictures myself.

Well, it's... I mean, I knew China was pretty. Yeah. But that's not even planet Earth, right there. That's... somewhere else. It's dream turf.

If that did not require a plane ride, I would... well, okay, I wouldn't be on the next plane, obviously. But you get the idea.

[roadrunnertwice]

I hear ya. Wowz.

haha. I am seriously just about a day's train trip away. hear you about the plane ride though. It's like a thousand bucks and 16+ hours of you life.

nifty. I sure hope I find time to go traveling a bit more in China. These all look like southern China... depending on where, it could be a lot harder to get around language-wise down there. Ah well, I'm getting pretty used to no one understanding me.
Also: Beijing isn't pretty like these, but it's kinda growing on me. I learned today that sometimes you actually can see the sky. I thought perhaps you could never see it through the smog, but turns out a decent amount of that is actually fog. Except by that huge smokestack... The part of the city I'm living in is not the bustling, modern looking part with the huge and shiny newish skyscrapers. Here they buildings are mostly a bit smaller and lots of brown and grey. and people everywhere. It has a nice kinda dusty charm. Other than all the cars on the road this part of town looks a lot like you'd see in a national geographic or something from 10-15 years ago.

It sounds completely charming. Can't wait for pix.

It's nice, but the terrace picture in the link makes it look like the hills are made out of layered lunchmeat.

Just thought that needed saying.

[roadrunnertwice]

Haha. Yeah, it did need.

I don't think I'd want to be a rice-farmer. Talk about exceeding my mud-tolerance...

[roadrunnertwice]

Hella!

[omgwtfbftn.livejournal.com]

the mud wouldn't bother me nearly as much as the leaches and other sorts of parasites that prolly live in that water. Mud I'm rather fond of, but parasites creep me the fuck out. on top of that some of them also carry diseases. in some medical precautions I was reading, it said to stay away from fresh water to avoid hookworm borne diseases. I don't even want to know. actually, apparantly I did. Apparantly the Yangzi river valley has a lot of problems with Schistosomiasis:

Aaaaand let's have a big fat "eew" for my little sister. Thanks, kid. >_< XP

I feel compelled to point out that some of the other pictures on that sight look seriously photoshopped, or at least overexposed. SOMETHING has been done to beef up the color at the expense of sharpness.

Fair 'nuff, but I'm still seein' some crazy terraces and weird humpy mountain-things.
