Sacred Road
Near the section of the great wall we visited there lay the ming tombs. However, those were deemed too far away for our bus driver to go to, so we opted instead to visit the sacred road, the path along which dead emperors would travel before being taken to their feng shui-ed buria place.
Inside this entrance to the sacred road was a giant turtle stele
If you rubbed his head, you get good luck, or curing of your ailments, or something, i am a little hazy on the details by this point
the sacred road itself, lined by sacred animals, which we almost certainly are not supposed to do anything to
good thing all the do not climb or touch signs were in chinese so we couldnt understand them. Except for one, which i took a picture of and then lost when my computer crashed
our gang in the far off distance, and a handy guide to the sacred road. those big white circles mark where important chinese people are buried
I just liked this guySadly, no more stuff on sacred road due to the aforementioned crash of the computer. thank goodness i managed to load most of my pics online. Oh well, til next time

just head to the southern islands. then you have to decide east coast or west coast. usually when one side has bad weather the other side has great weather. so check out the weather. i would highly recommend rei lay beach for rock climbing and just a good atmosphere on the west side. get out of phuket as fast as you can if you want to really relax. on the east i would recommend koh phang yan(famous for full moon party) i would stay off the infamous haad rin and go one beach north. it is more relaxed. anyways, you can’t really go wrong in thailand. the beach and people are great. i guess it just all depends on how much time you have.
how fun =P
