I spent about a week in Yangshuo. It was winter time, so it didn't look like the photo, but it was still a neat place. None of the buildings were heated, including the hotel and restaurants. I bought some silk pajamas to wear under my other clothes at night to sleep in because it was so cold in the room.
Geez, that girl took everything out of context and really made me look like an idiot. What I REALLY said was, "I used to travel so far with my family but now we just go bowling and then go eat Liberian stuff."

2 years ago, I bought a Firefly book and mailed it to Joss Whedon, asking him to sign it for me. He couldn't be bothered. About 6 months later, I sent him another letter, asking him to at least return my book, signed or not, in the self-addressed stamped enveloped I'd provided. Again, he couldn't be bothered. Arrogant prick.
At least the old Greek-based system had 4 elements. Chinese 'medicine' has 2: hot and cold. Feeling cold? Eat more hot foods. Feeling hot? Eat more cold foods. Then boil some vinegar in the room for good luck.
"Mom & Dad, I want to drop out of school and sail around the world all alone, in spite of storms, food poisoning, and murderous pirate rapists. But since I'm not even old enough to drive a car yet, can one of you give me a lift to the docks?" "No problem, honey. See you in 2 years."
(Yes, I know gardening isn't possible for everyone in the world, but there are many people who COULD grow food but choose not to.)
