A quick update on my whereabouts. I am in Chongqing and was planning on coming here to go on the Yangtze River cruise. When I actually got here I changed my mind and decided to stay 2 nights and explore the city instead. I had a ridiculous spicy meal at the hostel (I'm eating chicken again cautiously) and then I spent the next day with an English girl who lives in Beijing and can speak Chinese and a guy and girl from the Netherlands. They are really nice people and we went around the city finding interesting things to do. We left the 2 from Netherlands in charge and followed them around all day ha it was nice not to think about anything. We found some pretty cool spots and saw the contrast between where the Chinese people live and the big city. We even bust some moves and joined in with the old ladies dancing for a while.

Ive uploaded a few photos from the day. My muscles in my legs and solid!!! I'm heading to Guilin tonight in the Guangxi Province on another sleeper train and will spend a few days there and in Yangshuo. 21 hours but middle bunk. I've finished my book (The girl who played with fire) and it was soooo gooood! I'm hoping to find the next one in a hostel somewhere. I took a book from the small selection of English books off the shelf and will read that on the train. Doesn't look particularly interesting to be honest but I need something to do. Back up plan is planning my adventure to Vietnam!

I can't believe how fast this trip is going! China is nearly over. I have just one more week in this awesome place!

I will post again when I reach Guilin.

P.s I bought a selfie stick last night hahaaaa

再见
(Goodbye) ;)
