Flag of China  ,
Monday, November 20, 2006

5 days were spent guiding thirty 12-year-old international students through the rice terraces of Longsheng, about an hour north of Guilin. I was helping with a guiding company called China Climb, who guides school and corporate trips. We hiked from village to village, enjoying the (unfortunately very foggy) scenery and learning about the minority cultures.

We spent time at the local elementary school in one village, where we taught the students the Hokey-Pokey and Duck, duck, goose. They were adorable and happy to have us there.

Other accomplishments include learning how to play Hearts card with the teachers and managing to lose every single game!

Now I'm off to India until mid-January! Namaste~

YOUR FANS THE SEGALS
YOUR PICS ARE FABULOUS. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO SEE THIS SIDE OF CHINA NOWADAYS BUT I GUESS WHEN YOU GO DEEP INTO RURAL AREAS YOU CAN STILL DISCOVER IT! IT SEEMS SO FAR FROM THE CONSTRUCTION BOOM OF SHANGHAI. THROUGH THE CLIMBING ANGLE YOU ARE PRIVILEGED TO SEE GREAT STUFF... SUCH WEIRD MOUNTAINOUS AREA TOO... WE ARE STILL IN FLORIDA. I GOT NEW SKIS (K2 ONE LUV) ANOTHER WEDDING, ANOTHER BOAT PARADE AND WE'LL BE BACK IN MONTREAK TO X-COUNTRY SKI AND SNOW SHOE MAY BE WITH MAGGIE IF YOUR MOTHER LETS HER COME UPNORTH! KEEP UP THE GOOD TRAVELLING AND CLIMBING... CATHERINE AND STEVE
