  Lige, China
Thursday, September 4, 2008

So after two and a half weeks i said goodbye to the irish lot, i got three of them self made t-shirts, i would say the message i got printed but i may cause just a little offense so i will give it a miss. It was defintley a memorable time with the three of them and one i will remember

Lige( the map pin is wrong)
So Lige is a little village/town where i saw one foreign backpacker apart from that there were a few chinese tourists. The place itself is beautiful with the stunning Lugu Hu lake nearby.

The first day i decide to get a bike and explore and believe me the roads are bumpy and not all together safe - my arse is still hurting. So while riding around the roads i visit a couple of villages which was pretty cool as they let me explore within to see how they live. You get to see all the live stock running around and the  kids playing with these sticks and the adults digging up crops for food.

So the stuck in the mud bit - basically i was riding the bike near the lake of one of the villages and i hit a bit which was basically a foot deep of mud - both my feet about shin high and some villagers helped me out while laughing at me. I was absolutley covered in the crap but i carried on after cleaning myself - well kind of. It also didnt help that the roads were pretty muddy aswell so adding to my mess. However the views while riding were well worth it

The second day I decide to get a boat out to see one of the islands with a couple of chineses tourists i meet, again the views are stunning - i know going on a bit. After that i decide to hike about to see the view from up above.

During both nights i get kindly  invited by by two different chinese groups to join them for dinner, both nights we have a  babecue of a small pig(i wont put a picture up for you vegies wouldnt want to scare you) where you see it being cooked - it was the best pig i have ever had - hhhmmm. One night we have a little fire outside my hostel and everyone is singing these chinese sings, they invite me to but i declined, nowhere near drunk enough
