Welcome to Adventureland! For some reason, our photographer took a photo of the BACK of the Adventureland sign. That’s okay; he’s not the only one who does weird stuff like that.

Is this a flash mob? No, just some natives dancing eternally in a circle.

They’re still dancing today:

Time to end this post and depart from our fabulous cruise aboard the Yangtze Lotus:
