Always want to go to Guilin, not that well known by those in the first song of the effect, I then return to their roots because the number of User in the BBS, for the myth of Yangshuo rendering, so that my mind has always been a voice said: Go, Go , even a human being. Work, boredom and so I grew tired of the weight, in March of the bright and beautiful spring outside to lure me, but I can only sit in an office doing something Sisyphean repetition from time to time in thought, Is my Life is so, Do I want this to continue? I remember when a student, I always wanted to visit Sichuan, think that it is a magical land, but the conditions were not allowed to play around I left the classroom, and can only be holding a traveler books a daze diary. And, now, I have not been to Sichuan (this is because I was empathy in Yunnan and Guangdong and Guangxi reasons, of course, this is something). Finally one day, I quit a job done by hand, to do everything that went a long journey, and it is a human being. Speaking of a person to travel, not because I want to flaunt how cool a girl traveling alone, simply because a friend asked about not leave, I do not want because of this makes me feel the program died. Moreover, travel has always been personal experience, this is my understanding. But, my friends are very much to understand, or even suspect that I was not and an underground boyfriend go, ha ha, of course, is impossible. Qi from the Internet to gather information, ready to backpack with enough food on the train, setting a good youth hostels in Yangshuo, this set out.
April 22, 2002 Selected to ride the train to Guilin, a come from an economic point of view; two years, to the South I have never ridden a train, I would like to see the rural South, what kind of. Train 20:10 from Shanghai to Zhanjiang, K149, because it is the night train, my plan is one on the train to go to bed. Up a foreigner, showed me his ticket and asked me what shop, I said, is my opposite. Shop in middle-aged man approached me chat, talk is that he is easy to find a job in Shanghai, I am not very interested in this topic, but still gave him some suggestions. When he learned that I am a person to Guilin, has shown extremely surprised, but made me a little bit embarrassed, only to foolishly respond. After lights out, I was sound asleep in the rocking of the train (which is of course an exaggeration, because the rocking of the train are not used at night, slept well)
April 23, 2002, when waking up in the morning 6:00, God, I have a few years, there is no natural awake so early. Zhao Chuangwai a look at, the train has entered the Jiangxi Province, the red land, is really red soil, which made me very excited. Chiba breakfast in bed reading, I brought this Chien Chung-shu's "Besieged City", with this book there is no particular reason, probably because two days ago to see the history of literature to see the reasons for the book bar. Shop in middle-aged men who get off in Jiangxi Province, and woke up to the shop foreigners hears his walkman, with a few cars with Shanghai men playing cards, yelling, and still smoking , and made the whole car is noisy, and I was really with them and feel ashamed of Shanghai people. Oh, if I've seen "My Sassy Girl", maybe I would have washed them lessons of the past, meal, tell them in public places should pay attention to their own speech and behavior, and then the whole compartment of the man of my feat clap, ha ha, stray from the point of.
From the morning, open your eyes, I found their phones had no signal, but is said to go to Guilin in order to restore the signal, dear, that is the night things. I have complained that the abhorrent way Unicom, did not expect that China Unicom has done in the field is so poor. Looked at the person with the car phone constantly send an announcement, my heart really itch ah!
After the train entered the Hunan and Guangxi, becomes beautiful scenery outside the window up, especially into Guangxi. It is busy after midnight, the farmers in the fields, distant mountains silhouetted against the endless green to the fields, I see they have to be drunk. Many mountains in Guangxi, and, very scenery, this is not like the northern mountains, rolling countryside magnificent, the mountains in Guangxi are independent of a one, and some are still ever thought possible can be said that strange things. However, seen from my point of view, the lives of farmers is not the less well off, where the rural and the rural area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are very different, mostly cottage was short, and some even just a shelter shed, I think, the Chinese really like the media daily reported that at such a well-off it?
Car to Hengyang time, up a few middle-aged man, and later learned they were from Guangxi to Vietnam to travel. One of the foreigners in English and that chatting up, chatted a few words, due to language barriers reasons, not chat. However, this short a few words, I know that foreigners come from Britain, but also to Guilin travel, at that time did not expect, he is a playmate of my whole Yangshuo. That would be English-speaking middle-aged man turned to chat with me, he strongly recommended I take a look Phoenix, Shen from the man described by the border town in the world, which can not help but touched my heart, another dream, Phoenix, are you waiting for me. When he learned that when I go to Guilin, it is recommended that evening to join us to find a place to live, the next day go to Yangshuo. I was wary of the heavy, and I plan the evening went to Yangshuo, because I booked youth hostels, so we rolled refused him. But I left my cell phone, an appointment at a time when good-bye Yangshuo.
There is coming an hour, Guilin, and I started getting excited. Do not know what kind of Guilin is a city, do not know a person is not safe at night go to Yangshuo. At this time also, that the British come to me anymore. He told me that China is his one-stop travel around the world plan, previously he had been to Xi'an, Beijing and Shanghai, and he intends Wan Jitian in Guilin, and then go to Yangshuo, and then is go to Yunnan. Want to come really interesting, we have remained silent for 23 and a half hours, but in the last one-hour talk very warmly. Finally, he decided to go with me that night Yangshuo.
Dealers for an hour to Yangshuo, fare 7 yuan 5 angle, but that the British been collected 10 yuan on the grounds that he brought two backpacks, really funny. Hand, he used to say that in China, he often encountered this kind of thing, there are already psychologically prepared. Out of the car is already more than 22:00, and Yangshuo looks still very lively. There are many motorcycle tourists waiting outside, I remember User said, the parking lot to the West is only 50 meters, passed opinions on line. Into the West, and the silence of the way than to really do a world. People on the streets coming and going, row upon row of restaurants along the street, and everyone seemed very prosperous business, which for us, hunger is really big and good news. To the youth hostels are confronted with something unhappy was originally set at the room when he was a good, multi-human men and women separately, but in there, because a small number of girls did not open specifically to women living in more human, let me live mixing of men and women living in the room, which helped me, very unhappy, unsuccessful negotiations over and over again, when 11 points have been faster, and I relied know toby, I decided to spend the night at risk the next day, do not obtain other companies. Rooms large, can be said to One Bedroom One bathroom, a total of 12 beds, the kind of on the lower berth. Into the time, only one in, and have been asleep. Obviously, we woke him. Later, he was awakened by our people in Hong Kong has also become my friend on the grounds that he was very non-standard Mandarin only I could understand it, which he praised the clever Oh, sorry啦, in fact, I just understand a less than half, guess less than half, so that to understand a half, and being able to exchange, so we became friends.
To lay down their luggage, went out to try a reputation as a red star pizza turned out well, Pizza Hut Mo Fabi. I forgot what my point of pizza, and anyway, a six-inch for only 20 dollars, I could not finish eating eat. Freshly squeezed orange juice is also a point of only five of money, listening to music, chatting, eating things, I can already feel that my long vacation began.
