Yangshou - private home

We had the privilege of visiting a private home which also afforded us the opportunity to wander about freely. Although their loo was basic it was clean and well-kept. Although they live a simple life they appeared happy and content in their own surroundings. The home owners were gentle, kind and it was a delight to be in their company. They were proud of their home and happy to invite us into their world. It made me stop and think about 'westerners', their desire for material possessions, their obsession to have the very best, to impress... We could learn much from these humble but charming folk.
