Bus blog post using the ancient method of typing in notepad and copying into the interwebz at a later time

At the moment, I'm on a bus driving through the Huangshan mountain range in Anhui province. We are driving through an extensive mountain range which is very difficult to describe with just words. I'm not even sure photographs (if my camera were even charged) would give the scenery justice. My friend, Rena, sitting next to me, compared it to hte ancient Chinese scroll paintings one sees. I think that's the best way to describe it. Whenver I look at those sketches I can never imagine the actual scenery; it always seems as if someone haphazardly drove a painbrush over papyrus and ended up with shapes which resembled mountains and clouds -- but that's exactly what it looks like. The mountains can barely be seen because the misty clouds (sometimes little wisps) sit on the lush mountains. I have never seen so much green. The peaks of the mountains are at very high altitudes and rise above the cloud cover. Sometimes there are stone steps leading up the mountain but those also eventually burrow into the clouds.

The sky is very..white today. Strong rain storms were on the schedule today, so I'm not surprised. Typically, this would be a good day to listen to Cat Power, but the classical music I'm listening to in accompaniment to the scenery is more fitting.
