Making traditional clothes and wandering around Yingge

I know, how to make a traditional clothes :-) It's not difficult, but it takes soo much time :-) I've been only trying to make something like a belt. It takes me about two minutes to make one square centimeter. I can not imagine to make for myself whole T-shirt! But it was fun.

During the rest of the day we were chatting with Dustin about history of Yingge and about ecology and so much more. Do you know, that Yingge has gotten a name due to the legend about parrot? The story says, there we two birds and they were still fighting to each other. One day there had been walking a king with his army and the birds killed his army during their fight. The king was very mad, so he decided to set the fire a destroy the birds. The birds got burned. One fell down in Yingge and the second in Sansia and the birds became a stones. The parrot in Yingge lost his head during the fire, so the stone looks like a parrot without head :-) One day, I'll go there to see the stones.

Lychee

After our work, we've been in Yingge city for some dinner. We've tried dumplings and some soup. It was very good. We've also bought a lot of fruits - mango, guava, kiwi, lychee, plum, peach or nectarine (the last two fruits is not so good as at home :-). We've also been in a pet store. I've seen a lot of interesting fishes, but I've also seen a puppy in the cage in the pet store! You can buy here s puppy, I could not believe it. I've also heard, that in Indonesia it's also common. I do not understand this.

And I've taken a picture of fried head and fried legs of the duck :-) Maybe one day, I'll find a courage to try it!
