I’m finally posting a small fraction of the pictures taken in the verdant mountains of sichuan province.
sichuan has my absolutely favourite style of food, and was where I’ve seen the most beautiful scenery of my life (of which this monkey is not representative)–as we entered the province by train, the bustling chattering car was silenced for about an hour as everyone gazed in wonder out the windows. I’m always amazed to meet people who have managed to leave this place of über-spicy food, lush greenery, and pandas (which I refused to go see, since apparently I wanted to fight with monkeys instead…)
