@jack_mullinkosson: "I don't care. You're hungry." 🥺 A family of the Zhuang ethnic minority offered me some water, and then a meal during my biking trip through rural Guangxi. Their village had 15 homes and was located way off the main road in the mountains. "Standard Mandarin didn't exist" when the parents were growing up, as in it hadn't yet been established as China's official language or fully implemented in schools. As Zhuang people, they grew up speaking their own language, which is more closely related to Thai. They learned Mandarin later in life, through watching TV. #chinatravel #learnchinese #bikepacking @The China Current
This is real. Welcome to my hometown, my friend. This is my hometown. Although the countryside is poor, life is peaceful and the air is fresh.

I was really moved by the kindness and generosity of these people. If you have a chance to visit again, it'd be wonderful to bring them a small gift like some fruit, milk, or any food items. I'm sure they'd appreciate the gesture very much

A few months ago I was in a pretty poor neighborhood in Vietnam and needed a haircut so I went to this place and it was just a guys house, he made me came in while he was cutting my hair a lot of his family members would came to say hi and he would introduce all of them and everyone was so kind. Once he finished with my hair cut I said I had to go but he ask me to stay and sit with them. Her wife came and sit with us and she offered me black coffee. I'm not a big fan of coffee and when I drink is mostly latte or something, but didn't want to be rude so I said yes and drink it. It was one of the most delicious things I tried in my life, hands down. No sugar, no milk, just coffee. Guy told me that the coffee was from his plantation. We also ate some bananas from his garden too. Just a little simple moment but a core memory for me 💛.
