Sorry for the delay!

First of all sorry I haven’t wrote for such a long time, but I have to do so many assignments lately. Probably this will continue until the end of November. Then I can enjoy my free-time again.

I didn’t tell you everything about my trip in the beginning of October. Only about Shanghai, but not Guilin. Although I have uploaded the pictures already.
As soon as we arrived in Guilin, we saw the scenery and I have never seen something like that before. It is really an amazing place as you can see from my pictures. Even though I thought it would be some kind of Chinese shithole, I was surprised. It was much more developed and actually very touristic.
The first day we had a bike tour into the mountains on some shitty bicycles. However we enjoyed our tour a lot.

At night we went to a Chinese theater show. They told everything in some Chinese dialect, so nobody could understand anything of it.. It was a nice show though. They performed on a lake with the mountains on the background that were lighted.

The second day we went rock climbing. Not on some kind of wall as I was used to at home, but at a legit rock. It was more difficult than I expected. I thought it would be just as easy as on a climbing wall, however it was not. It took a lot more effort and strength than that I wanted to use, but eventually I was able to climb the rock.

After that we were starving, so we had to eat something. For the night we had arranged a cooking lesson, where we would learn and make out own local Chinese food. What I did not expected was, that I was the one with the most cooking experience.. It was fun to learn the Chinese style of cooking and get to know how to use a wok properly.

Later that night, we were able to see how the people fish in Guilin. Basically they train a group of birds. The birds will chase the fish and will eventually catch some. When the bird caught enough fish, the fisherman will take the bird towards him with a stick. Then he grabs the bird and grab his throat and does something that the bird makes throw up the fish. That is how they fish there, without any rod.

Then the final day in Guilin was already there. Before we went to the airport, we first had to go to a mud bath and a hot water spring. I do not recommend that kind of mud bath at all. It was cold and they just put sand in a cold spring and say it is a mud bath. It is good for your skin though. After that we went in the hot spring, which I can recommend! It is actually just a hot bath, but I do not have a both here, so it was a nice experience.

After that we had to go back to the airport and my holiday was officially over☹
Back in Beijing nothing really happened and life went on as it used to be, only with more homework…

I will try to upload my next blog faster than this time!!
