I don't know what this says, but isn't it COOOOL? I'll have to ask Ma Xiaowei what it means...
UPDATE: I asked what it means, and I'm sorry if I disappoint you...It says, "Do not enter construction area without a hard hat."

Start: Ruili, China Time: N/A N: E: |
Finish:Ruili, China Time: N/A N: E: | Mileage: |
| Notes: The day was spent doing our own thing. Everything is difficult here in Ruili, where we know no Chinese, and they know no English. It's hard enough just to order something at a restaurant...(Nick and Chanda ended up buying a $67 lunch, and the lobster came out with it's living and moving head on one side of the platter and it's squirming body on the other. It stared at Nick, who looked back at it squeamishly. They sent it back and had it cooked.)... Walking through Ruili is an experience in itself, as few locals have ever seen a westerner in real life, and they are not too shy to stare... Tonight is China's match in the football world cup, so the boys will be glued to the telly. Later. (N.O.) | ||
