Roaming Chuck Taylors

Wuhan and Yichang are small agricultural towns and the first time I see locals in a rural area. The highlight of the arduous 6 hour coach ride between the two towns was the the dinner stop during which we were able to sample the local cuisine, the famous Sichuan hot pot. It was indeed hot, as Sichuan is know for its peppers, yet one would still expect that the dishes served to tourists is only "tourist hot" and not quite "local hot".
