Today, we took a trip out to the countryside of China. It was an hour and a half bus ride away from Guilin. Once we got there, we could see the poverty of the people that lived there. They lived in shacks and it seemed like the village was practically abandoned. The only people that we saw were very old, and there weren't even many of those. We walked around the village for a while, and then we walked to this sort of hotel and restaurant that was more modern. We ate outside and they served us western style food. It was very good. the scenery around the village was incredible, and we were very close to the amazing mountains of Guilin. It was a very neat experiance, and I think we learned a lot about the way that the farming community of China lives. Then we walked back to the bus and had another long ride back to the hotel. It was a very eye-opening experiance.
