Since my last post, I have:
- Visited the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, walking through an actual tropical rain forest on the grounds
- Traveled by car along the Mekong River to visit Ganlanba, a picturesque Dai minority township 1 hour away from Jinghong
- Substituted the car for a motorcycle taxi (called a “tuk-tuk” in Thailand and “auto-rickshaw” in India) to take a joyride through Ganlanba’s banana plantations
- Managed, again, not to fall down.
