After my oh so exciting first sleep on mainland China, I was up bright and early for my first day in Guilin. I could not have been more excited. I went outside to stare at the Li River from behind my hostel.
From here I went walking around the streets near my hostel. Just about instantly, I met Jerry. Jerry is a tour guide who offered me lots of options for tours to take in and around Guilin. I was not interested in any of them, since I already had everything planned out before I left home. I ran into him regularly for the rest of my trip. At some point a couple of days later, I was pretty far away from my hotel just walking around and I hear “HELLO JENNIFER!” being yelled at me from across the street. Oh hello Jerry.
