Good times in Guilin

We've been in Guilin for a couple days now, having an absolute blast. I don't know what we'd do without Couchsurfing! We've been staying with a wonderful host who has been sooo welcoming, and the other cool thing is that all the couchsurfing people here know each other, and have dinners with their guests on a weekly basis. Last night we had a Chinese food feast with 9 people representing so many different countries. Such a blast. And the food... wow... sooo good. We learned quickly not to ask what the heck it is... and just eat it!
There wasn't a single thing that I didn't like, but I'm sure I wouldn't have tried a few if I knew what it was beforehand, haha. And get this, when the bill came, it worked out to 42 yuans per person (about 7 US dollars). That was including plenty of tea, beer, and even a dancing and singing performance during dinner! :)

Today were leaving for a 2-3 day trip with a couple guys who we met through couchsurfing, and then coming back to Guilin, so hopefully we'll be shooting lots, and update with photos soon. Oddly enough 1 of the guys is from Portland Oregon and one is from Bellingham Washington! We had a good time talking about home from so far away. And they have both been studying Chinese in Beijing for a couple years, so they speak it... what a luxury to travel with them! :)

See ya!
