What kind of experience is it to live in a homestay?

When I was traveling in poverty as a student, I had a very deep understanding of staying in a homestay. In a word, B&B is full of pits. Whether it is domestic or foreign, whether it is a China house or a foreigner's house, since it is a business, there is a routine.

Let's talk about our residential experience in Yangshuo, Guilin, for convenience and saving money. I went with my parents and relatives. I was in my early twenties, traveling with three elders for the first time. I have heard for a long time that Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Yangshuo's landscape is the best in the world. It happened that my sister had been there not long ago and said that the scenery was very good. So those places we haven't been to really want to see. My sister also gave me the address and telephone number of the house where they live, so we can contact this house directly. We all think it is safe.

At that time, we could only go to Yangshuo, Guangxi by bus. It rained heavily after bumping the mountain road for more than ten hours. The driver stayed up all night, and all the way was muddy, so we didn't dare to sleep at the destination. We got off at a gas station, where the hotel owner was already waiting for us. Parents and menstruation rarely travel far, and they are strangers. We were received by the local host in the middle of the night, which was very warm. We followed her to a very close home, negotiated the price, no problem, and paid a deposit to stay first. The clean and simple suite bedroom, after we washed in a hurry, fell asleep.

It was dawn, and although I was still a little sleepy, I was woken up by my parents. Because the old people think that since they have come all the way to travel, they must not sleep and waste time. After washing the face, the host family has warmly greeted us, and she has prepared a table full of breakfast for us to eat! My mother was very touched. She said it a million times. It's too polite. It's a waste of food.

Ask us where we want to go after dinner, and she can introduce us to the tour guide. None of us understand, so we must say yes. Soon she introduced an elder sister, a local professional private tour guide. They usually attract guests in this way. She is familiar with local scenic spots. We had a good time, too.

In this way, we played for a few days, and it will be over. On the last day, my mother even wanted to reward the enthusiastic host with hundreds of dollars. My mother is a very kind person. She hasn't seen much of the world. For dinner and breakfast before departure, she took us to a very ordinary restaurant, saying that the beer fish and taro there are the most authentic. I've always wondered why she is so enthusiastic. We can go to our favorite restaurant for dinner. It's all over the street Because of face, my mother went to the one they introduced.

It's a common dish. I didn't know I was cheated until I paid the bill! I'm a little angry. I told my parents directly that others wanted to make our money! Mom doesn't want to accept the fact that she was cheated. She wants to believe that the world is so beautiful.

Later, before leaving, after my strong denial, she finally didn't hand over the reward fee of several hundred yuan prepared in advance. On the way back, my mother kept saying, Oh, yes, finally I heard that we wouldn't go out for breakfast, so I was sent away by some hard steamed buns. It's like feeding a dog. This taught me a very important lesson. The routine of tourist attractions is far from what we honest people want to believe.
