The location: Yangshuo, China. The culprit: Bacteria or virus. The victims: At least 10 guests and staff of the Giggling Tree, having what they are describing as either the worst stomach bug or case of food poisoning of their lives. Very, very fortunately for me, I have been spared. Jeremy, however, succumbed around 3am this morning and has been sick ever since. So, instead of kayaking the... Read Full Entry

light show comparable to disney
The light show is absolutely beautiful. What is amazing is the detail in the costumes - especially the little kids. What an incredible experience to be able to see this. And - to have those mountains in the background. You were right - looks almost prehistoric in nature. Love you both and Jeremy please feel better soon. I know Hungry wants you to too.

Ill there too
I was misfortunate enough to get ill there with my partner too. When we said to the owner that perhaps she shouldn't admit more guests until less people get sick or atleast it stops being infectious the female owner screamed at us tried to throw us out despite both of us vomiting. Never in all my years have I ever met such a horrible owner. A family arrived after we suggested this and two kids got ill which just isn't fair when she knew it was likely to happen. Also they "accidentally" added alot of food and drink to our bill which we didn't have Bit of a joke really

armchair traveling
I have to say that I am enjoying and living variously through your trip. It has been amazing. And this show is really remarkable. I can almost see it with your words and photos. Although I am saddened to hear of your illnesses, I am finding that the touch of reality makes it all the more believable for my armchair travel. I got really sick in Bordeaux and we had to travel to San Sebastian the next day while I was still feeling badly. There isn't much to do but wait it out. And you get some crazy strength from realizing that you can deal with sickness miles from home. Makes you feel like you can do anything.
