Shaoguan

Right outside of Shaoguan is a beautiful temple. We headed out there in a little minivan, and I convinced the driver to let me choose the music. As a result, we got to listen to the Dixie Chicks, DMB, and even Chamillionaire while cruising along; it was awesome.
We had the opportunity to drink tea with a monk who was also a self taught healer who ran the monastery's hospital. He gave me a book on herbal remedies, so I may start my Chinese education with all the different herbs in the world so that I can read it!
