Description:
A well known tourist destination but not far from here is a small town of stone cutters who have carved even the natural rocks of the mountains into temples and complex forms; on this hike each rock you pass has been altered into the shape of a beast or creature or some kind. Here I stayed on MathEngine's dime with a retired chess grandmaster turned stock market analyst who was helping raise funds for MathEngine. Ostensibly tasked with staffing up a team of 300 engineers from scratch ultimately this failed horribly but it was a fun trip and listening to the blaring marley in the air conditioned mercedes as we cruised past horrible traffic accidents and kids shitting in the streets was quite british and appropriately imperial.
