SHOTS FROM HILL TRIBE TREK

As part of my general Yunnan travel craziness, I, along with my group of scumbag compatriots, went on a three-day jungle/hill tribe trek into the hinterlands of Xishuangbanna. We hiked, swam, drank, and ate steamed bees. I'll do a detailed travelogue of this trip in the near future, but for now you can check out these pics:

This is where we crashed the second night. Underneath was a very nasty dog with a clatch of puppies. She nearly gnawed my balls off during a middle of the night pee run. The urinal was the whole underpart of the house.

Lake. We swam in it. It was nice but I lost my watch.

One of many babies. The "one child" policy doesn't apply to China's minority groups.
