Taro, veggies, and cucumber. The monks, pilgrims and tourists we met were really nice and mostly curious about us.
Bearded frog on Emeishan
The females have stripes and no beards
Curious and friendly horse in Songpan
The Tibetans took really good care of their horses. They let them run around freely after we were done trekking, and then fed them before us. The horses were really smart and listened well. They also had attitudes, and would compete to be first in the pack, and would sometimes even nip each other on the butt. My horse (Jeff) usually went first, but Kaley's wanted to go first, and excelled at charging up hills.
KFC

Since Dafu has been a pilgrimage site for over a thousand years there are also many other cool statues and etchings around him.

Maccaus not nice neighbors
I'd rather have your parents as neighbors rather than the Maccaus, even if those apes can share space with humans. Delphine and Richardare not even interested in my food. I have to admit, though, that my dog Ringo begs for treats, even from from strangers.
