Sunday, November 9th



Today we take a cruise down the Li River. This area is such a contrast to the ocean of skyscrapers we experienced in Beijing. As we cruise down the river, we see all kinds of agriculture, villages and fishermen. On the way back to town we stop at a local village where we see farmers harvesting crops next to the river and a newly married couple taking pictures in the fields. What great timing!
More photos to come...



Anyways, as it turns out in China, the tap water and drinking water are different. I am trying to find out what is the difference but the information does not seem to be forth coming....something to ponder upon..

So, what is the difference between the tap water and drinking water? Do they have separate sources and distribution systems?

In some cases tap water is not treated at all and in some it is not treated to the China's regulation. It seems that not everyone is forthcoming with information that may not be favorable(if you know what I mean).
