Hua Shan, Chongqing, Guiyiang, Kaili, Chong'an

Wow, Iif you are reading this, I have FINALLY managed to click on the right Chinese symbols in the right order, to get this written and posted! I am so happy and proud of this success, you don't believe it. Actually, everything that works out travelling in China feels like a big success. I'm currently in an internet cafe in Guiyiang, which is "starring country". People get together in crowds and stare at you like you're some kind of freaky creature they've never seen in their life. The second reaction is either a continious cow-like gaze or a blatant laugh which will make you feel like an idiot. Surely, a lot of them don't mean to make you feel bad, I don't think they realize that it makes you feel like you're an exotic animal in the zoo.
I now feel like the real travels have begun. We went to Kaili, which is famous for it's minority cultures and market and got to know some Chinese who showed us around. We got to know two Chinese on the train, but by the end of the sight-seeing we were seven. It was a brilliant evening and lots of fun. They forced me to run around in some Miao minority dress which exists out of loads, I mean LOADS, of HEAVY silver rings and necklaces and an even HEAVIER crown which makes noises like the bells of a cow and like this I had to walk around and have pictures taken... it was great fun for THE OTHERS. I felt light like a feather when I was finally released! : ) Well, when we said good bye they were so sad, it was absolutely cute. Next day we went on to Chong'an, what a picturesque place!! Wonderful!! It is only a very small village along a turcoise river and it's warm and there's a lot of green nature (not all brown like in the north). The "hostel" we stayed at was more like the home of an incredibly friendly old Chinese guy real cheap and so lovely! It is on a little hill and the room had a big window with a yellow frame overlooking the river and some bamboo trees. Like a painting. We took some walks into the countryside and joked around with five Geija minority girls. I gave them some tictacs and they gave us some raddish in return, which they carved skillfully with a sickle! They were so friendly and so happy, it was wonderful to meet them. I can only say very few things in Chinese, but together with gestures it is enough to get by and make them laugh.
Alright, time to go again! Hope you're all well!
