impressions: guilin

i'm just back from the tour to guilin with my mom... a few take home points:

1. tour groups are terrible terrible things. they rush the tourists through places of interests like cattle.

2. traveling with mom is a bad bad idea. somehow the trip can get too depressing at times.

3. guilin is an extremely pretty place, but something needs to be done to this place to improve its economy. there's only this much it can earn by conning tourists, and the money is not going to its people.

4. zhang yimou is a fucking genius. we need more people like him to transform concepts and ideas, and create values.

more to come.
