I just came back from eating some very spicy “hot pot”, so this isn’t going to be a very long story! The table next to us was enjoying a full portion of slimey pig brain.. Yum!

The last two days we spent in Ping’An to see the famous terraced rice fields there. Our hotel was on the top of the hill with a great view. Two local elderly ladies carried our luggage up as if it was nothing. I was ashamed to be sweating like crazy trying to keep up with them.

The harvesting of the rice had just begun so we missed the view of a totally golden mountain, but none the less it was very impressive. We stayed over night to see the sunset and sunrise. Due to the clouds and the smoke (the farmers were buring a lot of stuff) the view wasn’t perfect, but I was able to take some nice pictures. The pictures need some Photoshop and I took some HDR images, but this has to wait until I’m back.

-I have updated the pictures (19-10-2008)-

Tomorrow we leave for Shanghai, our final stop, to meet up again with Bin and Arjen.
