Yesterday we stayed close to the guesthouse as it rained all day. Did an interview and in the afternoon went looking for a shower. The first two were broken but I got lucky at the third place which told me to come back in an hour by which time the water would have heated up! So I did. In the evening we went out with two guys from Guilin. They are 'punkers' with long hair, leather jackets and tatoos. Very unChineselike. They were taking lots of photos of themselves in beautiful settings (by the lake, on a mountain, etc) standing around in the nude. It's pretty cold here too. Wasn't quite what we expected when they offered to show us their holiday snaps on their digital camera.
Anyway, we went out to a bar and they played guitars and an harmonica and sang. They are pretty good and also know a lot of Western music as they hate Chinese pop. So we sang along to guns n roses, nirvana, red hot chilli peppers, the beatles, etc. There was only about half a dozen people there and we were all sitting around a fire, so it was a lot of fun. The bar kicked us out at 11.30pm.
This morning we got up earlyish and went with Lance and a Chinese tourist into Yongning. We went to the buddhist monastery there and then went and bought fresh fruit from the market as well as toilet paper, bottled water and some yoghurt. Then the Norwegian girl and I caught a lorry to Luoshui. It got stuck in the gutter at one point but managed to manouever out. I have a few things I want to do here and then I'm going back to Lige tomorrow. We got very excited about the ensuite bathroom and the prospect of fresh coffee and cheese on toast.
