The fellow at the hotel who took me for the suction-cup treatment. My back still looks like a dragon’s!
Then we went to what he called his building for dinner. There were many streets like his nestled among the karst hills with buildings like his all side by side and looking like they were put up individually by the residents.
They were very big inside and he lived there with his wife and 13 year old son. All the buildings had a similar design – big double doors on the first floor where the living area and kitchen opened onto the street, a social hall really, and people sat out visiting, eating, and playing cards. Then the next floor had a lounge and two large bedrooms. The next floor was the same, a lounge and two bedrooms, and the fourth floor had a big studio and an outdoor patio with a fantastic view.
Again, more photos for later.
