Noodles And Water!
Riding his motorcycle around the entire border of China and still had time to backtrack and give us nectarines.
We met some really nice people all thoughout the day. It made up for the fact tgst Doug got way over charged for breakfast. Tourist Tax! The cook at lunch charged us one American dollar for lunch. It was a good thing that Doug actually had some US dollars on him because before we knew it, everyone in the restaurant was wanting to exchange kuai for US dollars.
Later in the day we stopped to buy water from a roadside store and about an hour later, the guy that sold us the water caught up to us on the highway on his motor scooter and brought us more water plus two tubs of instant noodle soup!
About an hour after that we met a guy on a motorcycle who is trying to ride around the entire border of China in abut the same amount of time as Doug and I are taking to walk from Dali to Hongoing Kong. We stopped for a photo with him and went our separate ways and a few minutes later he caught back up with us. He rode his motorcycle against traffic to give us a bag of peaches!
very cool! Sorry about the HIGH prices there LOL!!
It all works itself oUT in the end.
I was wondering if you’re encountering anyone who has never seen a picture of themselves. I have no idea what the economic situation is in some places you’ve gone through but I know in poorer areas where my parents have been, people always want to see the picture they’ve taken
