Staying at the Giggling Tree Hostel is like a little piece of heaven. I love having the comforts of home and meeting great new people, like the family in the photo. Jeff (taking the picture), Maria and Steve are from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I met them at breakfast and they generously offered to bring me along on their cycling/rafting trip on the Yulong River. The ride was bumpy but fun. Maria and I shared stories as we rode through small villages saying “Ni hao” to the people we passed. We were accosted by a pack of old women selling the flower crowns we are all wearing. Everyone but Jeff bought one, and the lady chased after him as far as she could run. The bamboo raft ride was very peaceful and provided views that make you say “ahhhh”.
