After the calf busting Mount Emei, we have decided to take it easy for a bit. We,re now heading to Western Sichuan, where the influence will become more and more Tibetan once again.
After escaping the tourist melange at Emei Shan, we had to make a stop in a town called Ya'an. This place is famous as, in 53 BC, the first tea tree was planted on a nearby mountain. A wide river runs through the town, which we walked along.
We were slightly ripped off for 15 Yuan for two simple dishes, but this was cured later, when we miraculously found a restaurant in a long stretch of garden along one side of the river which had a waiter of sorts with really good English! In this town the older citizens, after dinner, like to dance en-masse because, as our waiter said " they feel happy".
After one night in Ya'an we took an early bus to Kanding- 8hrs West. We stopped en-route at a roadside restaurant with a choice of point and eat veggies.
The guesthouse in Kanding- Sally's guesthouse is really relaxing. They have an astonishingly cool selection of music playing all the time and nice
Covered bridge in Ya'an.
You can't see the mountains behind oin this picture- they're always there in Sichuan Province.food, even if they're a bit far out of town. It is hemmed in by three unlikely neighbours- a Tibetan Monastery, a high rise army barracks (lots of shouting and marching) and a Tibetan hospital- oh yeah and then there's the building site - all of these overlook the guesthuose.
Last night we met a bunch of English language teachers who have finnished for the Summer. This encourages us that there are plenty of opportunities in China and we have some more leads, with the hope of embedding ourselves here for a bit, whilst earning.

Beidzot mana velme pec nothing doinga ir realizejusies!! Juhuuuu!!! Bet nu visu pec kartas. Tatad pec Emei kalna mes devamies ar autobusu uz citu nelielu pilsetinju (isteniba, pilsetinja tikai shkjita neliela uz mapes) Ja'anu, un tikai tapec, ka no Emaias nav tiesha autobusa uz Kandingu. Ja'ana ar eko ipashu neizceljas, lai gan, godigi sakot, mes parak daudz sho vietu iepazit nepaspejam, bet viena nu ljoti feina lieta, ko tur atklaju ir dancashana, proti, abos upes krastos, ir izbrivetas diezgan lielas platibas, kur pec vakarinjam sanak (parsvara vecaka gadagajuma ljauzhu), tiek speleta skalja muzika un visi dejo!

Tiesham interesants un kikjigs darbs. Sapazinamies ar dazhadiem jaukiem ljautinjiem, no kuriem viens bija paris gados no Chehijas, kas Kjinu jau apmekle padsmito reizi. Atsvaidzinaju savas krievu valodas zinashanas ar shini sakara. Blakus musu hostelim ir ljoti feins klosteris, kura nav jamaksa ieejas maksa, slimnica un armijas baze, ta ka esam labi iekartojushies! 😊
Brizhiem man nedaudz "piegriezhas" vietejo izgajieni un uzveibas/kulturas aspekti, ipashi, kad vinji diezgan nekaunigi censhas no mums izdabut vairak naudas ka vajadzigs...😊 Shodien, piemeram, aizgajam papusdienot uz mazu, ka parasti shmucigu vietejo estuviti un saimniece centas uzlikt augstaku maksu ka sakuma tika runats (lai gan pat sakumcena bija vairak ka parasts) - man shitie izgajieni bija lidz klinkjim un es vinjai pateicu, ka neko vairak nemaksasim (lai gan,saprotams, angliski vinja neruna), bet laikam mans skatyies un
