This entire trip is sponsored by the Communist Party of China in hopes they would make money from the tourists. They haven't made anything from Johanne and I so far. If they were apart they would take us in a brewery tour Hahahaha
We went to a tea plantation, it was fascinating but not my cup of tea. They really have done their marketing well here. One young guy came out to the bus saying, " Jesus I just bought $300 worth of tea.... How did that happen!". I am glad I did lots of research before we left so that I knew what to look for and not make impulse decisions.
Don't get me wrong I love our tour guide for this part of the journey. Lulu is a wealth of knowledge but a true communist and not shy about. There have been a few lectures and stories that leave a sour taste in your mouth. But it's a cultural thing and that's what I love to do us immerse myself in the culture and beliefs of others, I don't have to agree with it, I may even question them on it but I m here for the experience. It becomes very intriguing to me and I just want hear more but too much and I just tune here out.
This GD bus we are is a piece of shit by our standards. It's not bad but it desperately needs springs and skewers and bounces everywhere. The noise makes it hard to hear Lulu most of the time.
