HuangShan


I climbed the Yellow Mountain on Saturday. A good 10Km or more of stone stairs that go up forever. I saw 3 other foreigners the whole time I was on the mountain. A French man trekking up like I was and two other guys walking down the mountain with their Chinese lady-friends after taking the cable car to the top. Nearly every person I passed on the way up nudged their friend and noted the laowai on the trail. And gasp! She's a Jianada ren! (Canadian)
About 0.5km from the top, with my patience wearing thin, I turned to Kelly and said not-so-quietly said, "Ah! Zhongguo ren!" (Chinese)
