| Lantern festival dinner with one of my student's family out in the countryside |
Before the start of the new term, I had a few extra days to travel so I decided to make my way down to Anren, a small town in southern Hunan, to visit a friend. She is also the only foreigner in her town and I wanted to see how our placements compared. Anren was beautiful! Unfortunately it rained the entire time I was there, but I was still charmed by the many old buildings and cute little town.

| Anren is also the home of some Herb King (I can't remember quite what Sonee said, but it had something to do with this "Chinese Thor" as Sonee has dubbed him, who tried over 1000 herbs and contributed a lot to Traditional Chinese Medicine) |

After Anren, I went north a bit to the big city Zhuzhou. Zhuzhou is possibly one of my favorite cities in Hunan- it's not as big and overwhelming as the capital city Changsha, but still offers everything and is clean and beautiful. Every time I visit Zhuzhou I absolutely love it. We also got lucky with the weather- beautiful warm sunshine! YAY SPRING

Back in Huarong, new deliciously green veggies are hanging among drying clothes.
