Rongjiang
After two nights in Xijiang my stomach wasn't feeling too well.
The toilet consisted of a shallow whole which didn't go anywhere, the contents must have been shoveled over to the pigs next door.
So it was time to move on, a bus to Leishan where a less than helpful bus station simply stated that they didn't have a bus to the next town. After standing in their office for a good while they got a taxi to bring me to the corner where you can get the bus. Got a bus to Rongjiang a reasonably large sized chinese town. Here I realised that the atms weren't going to work, 35 euro for a week and hundreds of kilometers of bus journeys, you wouldn't dream of trying it at home but in this part of china, well it should be ok. I tried to get a place to stay for the night but the cheap places kept on turning me away because I was a forigner, finally one of them relented, all around here you get loads of "hellooooo"s and exclamations of "lawei" or forigner.
