China: Currently Under Construction

So our 7 hour bus ride ended up taking 16 hours. Roads are being constructed all over the place. Above is a picture of the backup of vehicles at the 1st landslide, waiting for the bull-dozers to move the boulders out of our path.

That said, it was the shortest 16hr bus ride of my life. The terrain is absolutely gorgeous and I was well-fed. I gorged myself on pork buns, fried dough-ey things, and all manner of dimsum and crackers.

Days without seeing another white person (except Gabe): 1 and counting.
