Every time the bus struggles to a reasonable start, the driver crunches around in a vain attempt to change gear, and we whimper to a halt. One too many for some of the passengers, who’ve been pleading with the driver to let them off for the last fifteen minutes, and are now practically forcing the door open. After depositing them on the side of the road, the bus staggers on up the hill, the ... Read Full Entry

benevolence?
I like to believe there's a long lost human being behind every pair of bureaucratic eyebrows!

Longji....
Are this really your pictures? We were there last week as well... and it was not green at all, the were filling the rice terraces with water and it was all dry... Mmmmm... Very strange isn't it?.. Enjoy travelling..

There is a clue cleverly hidden in the title!
The "National Day Golden Week" begins on October 1st...and if you look closely some of the rice terraces are not only green but golden;-)

Enjoy your travel
Alike every girl wish to find a sugary daddy but not everyone succeed. There is nothing wrong to expect the greenlight, however approval or not should in line with the regulaiton. In your case, it has nothing to do with bureaucratic at all. Should you prepared in advance,the extra 3 days loging cost will save and bitter ticket buying experience will vapored accordingly. Traveling is finding something different, wherever you are, whatever it is. The less your complaint about, the more easier your journey will be and of course more happiness you will find. Nice shooting and cute baby.

Kiva is exposed to a lot of dangers on the road but if I were Kiva, I would not have it any other way. You are one gutsy couple and I admire you and your adventures. Stay safe and keep us up to date with your travel.

Kiva
Kiva is such a cutie ! As a parent, I wouldn't contemplate of taking my children on the road at an early age for countless reasons. You really are gutsy first-time parents for doing so. Just a friendly advice, I wouldn't hang toys around Grumpy Bear's neck if I were you as it can get caught onto something and.... (let's say freak accidents happen.)....knock on wood. Anyway, impressive photos you got there !

Grumpy bear
Thanks for your concern - those 'toys' are traditional handmade keepsakes the Dong sell to Chinese tourists in Chengyang. Par for the course, the tourists kept giving them to Kiva, despite our refusals. He didn't really take to them as you can see, and we thought it merited a grumpy photo. But don’t worry; there won’t be any pictures of him drinking bleach or playing with knives. Though a few blogs back you may be shocked to find him chuggin on a beer!
