Dinner and hot springs

Yesterday Rebecca and I were invited to eat dinner at a student's house in a nearby town. We took a motorcycle taxi truck from the school entrance about 8 km or so to the town, went back on some narrow winding streets/alleys until we arrived at his home. We sat and drank tea and ate snacks watching Chinese television in his living room with his 93-year-old grandmother while his mom prepared dinner. We decided to go for a short walk out back into the farmland - here are some pictures:





After the good supper of chicken, vegetables, rice, and a little bit of homebrewed rice wine, we headed to the nearby hotsprings pool for a swim. I believe it's run off of a natural hotspring, but they have a nice pool facility built around it. It's a perfect combination of hot tub and swimming pool, and felt very relaxing.




Our friend Wei Guo Quan and his friend who ate dinner with us took us all the way back to our school on their motorcycles, and we paid them a little cash for the trip.

We still are without internet in the apartment, and will contact someone soon about the problem. We are planning another Meizhou trip today, so I am sure to have more pictures (and DVDs!) from that trip.
