How Much for Your Camel? [Guilin]

Outside the Reed Flute Cave was an excellent market, where the children acquired all sorts of fine weaponry to add to their collections. There was also a camel, tethered by his nose, in the bus parking lot.

The guide informed us that this was a mountain camel, much softer and healthier, but smaller than its desert brethren, but not local.

Smart-ass Aaron tried to negotiate with the owner, who did not speak English beyond “ten yuan,” for purchase of the camel. Jeffrey and Riki, however, had the right idea.
