Private dinning with Miss Yu and her staff ends a really great day. After the meal we jump into a motorbike / trike type taxi. You know the sort that looks like someone has welded a garden bench to the back half of a moped. Before we leave our driver politely tells our guests that she will not be able to get up the last little bit of hill. What she actually said was 'My taxi is not built to take two fat westerners up the hill'
You may have thought she was joking, but as soon as she pulled away you knew this machine needed a long run up to get going! Crossing the intersections was great fun as they have a digital countdown in large red or green numbers indicating how long before a change in priority, or in our case, how long you have left to defy death in the piece of mechanical wizardry you have decided to entrust your family in!
Tomorrow sees us go to the local hot springs - more excitement
