This guy was so excited to see me. Before he invited me into his store to sit down, I could see that he was video taping me on his cell phone. After he invited me in, he asked me if he could take a picture with me. I had no idea he was going to do what he did in this picture. I realized this was probably the first time he'd ever seen a foreigner. I bought a few bags of food that he had in his store and he offered me a free jar of spices. Then he gave me his email address so I can stay in touch with him. Not sure how that is going to work considering I don't speak or write in Chinese.
The same guy who raises the Tibetan Mastiffs gave us a ride to a local burial site. Here is what a burial site looks like in the village. The dead are buried north and south with a mound of dirt. The yellow ribbons are laid on top periodically out of respect and remembrance of the dead.
More pictures of the village I stayed in
Took a picture of the little red car driving through the intersection. The look on the guys face is what I get all the time.
Here's a guy lighting yellow paper on fire in the street to remember the dead.

Does that car only have 3 wheels?!
Yes, lots of cars and bikes only have 3 wheels. They are so small too. That's actually a taxi.
You are the man! I wish I had the time and the money to just take off to another country. You know how much I enjoy traveling. I haven't been outside the country since Argentina in 2001.
Yeah well it wasn't easy Juan. Its been probably that long for me to. I plan on taking a trip somewhere every year. I've learned that there is so much more to life than the way I live it.
