Guilin Dispatch: A Four Hour Tour, a Four Hour Tour.
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip.
That started in Guilin, China aboard their tourist ships.
The scenery was magical, mountains all around;
But after near-miss 34, I thought we'd crash and drown.
The natives paddled up to us, to sell their souvenirs;
They stood outside the windows. We pretended they weren't there.
We didn't eat much lunch that day, after we realized;
They made it on the ship's back deck... Not so sanitized. Not so sanitized.
Guilin is really gorgeous and the scenery's the best;
Though most vivid: The English guy who puked on the hostess.

Don't you mean their "tourmist" ships? I hope you at least had a three hour tour...

*lol* after 3 or 4 near misses I can understand you worrying about crashing, but after 34 near misses wouldn't you start feeling somewhat indestructible?

You so funny.
No chicken for you in Asia though.
