Moments to Treasure

Pleasant boat-ride on the creek

When we got to the dinning room for our breakfast, we were utterly shocked to see the room was packed with another group of local Chinese tourists. They had consumed all the food, and used up all the bowls, spoons and chopsticks. It was total chaoas and unacceptabe. After they finally satisfied their stomach, waitress bought out more dishes and bowls for us, all still dripping with water! Food was scarse but all of us were excited about going to the boat ride though.

Each bamboo raft could carry six people. The local tourist guide asked us to arrange ourselves into groups of six. There was one classmate who weighed over 200 lbs. I guessed nobody wanted to seat with him and his wife fearing the raft might overturn because of his weight. So finally, the tourist-quide had to assign them to who else but us. Well, in spite of that we totally enjoyed the ride, the absolutely beautiful scenery and the magnificent mountains as well as the jokes the boatsman cracked up. On top of that, the sun was out and the temperature was just perfect.
