After Rjongchiang we expected things to get better. they did slightly. But it was just another town without any character. But the reason why we got there was not this town, but a nearby mountain village called Basha. We took a tuktuk to the top and walked a bit around. The men and boys still wear sabers and fancy traditional clothes. These people speak absolutely no English. We were able to watch them during their daily life. Only very few tourists were there. Chinese tourists even took pictures of us. They also had rice terraces and nice stilt houses, but since we have seen so many minorities and rice terraces in the past weeks we were not extremely impressed. But it still impressing how they live. By the way minorities are allowed to have 2 kids. Han can pay a fine to have a second one. And if a couple were born under the one child policy they are allowed to have 2 as well.
Yeah, the next day there was no fooling around anymore. The next destination we chose we were absolutely sure that we will like it.
