Village Life

3/29/2019

One of my favorite things to do when bringing people to China is to stop at small villages and spend some time with local people.  They have lived the same way for hundreds of years. 

When we first arrive, the people are hesitant to interact.  In some places, we are the first westerners they have ever seen in person.  Once I break the ice, I offer our help with whatever is going on in the village.  We have dug garlic bulbs, built fences, painted, taught English and farmed rice.  We form a quick bond, if only for an hour or two.  

A few years back, I purchased a portable printer that connects to my phone.  Before we leave, I take a selfie on my phone and print it.  The picture above on the lower left is one of the women in a village outside Xiahe admiring the picture of me and her.  

Join me on a journey to China that you will never forget.  Meet the people and learn about life on the other side of the world.
