(1 of 10 of Dazu Buddhist Grottoes)
If Chongqing was bad enough, Dazu is even worse. In this no-man's-land, not only do people not speak English, but their Mandarin has a completely different pronunciation compared to the one he's been learning. Whereas Chongqing had English street signs, there's not a single word of English to be seen within miles of this county. This has certainly become a surreal experience, if not adventure. He half expects to wake up from this dream anytime soon. He still can't believe he decided to venture out into no-man's-land.
