One thing that I just had to do before leaving was to climb
up and sit on top of a giant stone elephant. Luckily there was no one around to
say no or throw us out. They probably thought that the statue would be too big
for a Chinese person. That night we waded through the market and observed
vendors selling scorpions, crabs and beetles in gigantic red plastic bowls.
Then we hit a bar which felt just like the western world until you went out the
back where there were still squattiees only. One of the best sights was one of
the large hotels. We’d gather outside this glass fronted building staring past
the fountain into the restaurant within. Then water would run down the whole
side of the whole hotel as a waterfall which would be lit up and played to
music. It was the Chinese version of a Las Vegas hotel.
