This is the view from the mouth of a cave that I visited with some friends. The owner of the tea shop and some government officials wanted to take me to see some sights, so I got the royal treatment. As a foreigner I was given the special privilege of being allowed to touch the cave walls, but I was appalled at this. It has been engrained in my head. since my childhood days in the Carlsbad Carverns, that you should not touch cave walls because you will ruin the natural structure and turn the calcium build up black. But, for the sake of the video camera following me, I touched the cave a few times anyway.
