Oil-tea is a distinctive flavor of Guilin. It originates from the minorities living in the mountains, drinking oil tea can help them keep warm in winter. Oil tea is one of the favorite foods of Miao, Yao and Dong ethnic people. #mekongminis #mekongmoments #experiencemekong #culture #tea #tastemekong #guilin #longcheng #longji #guangxi #china #oiltea #miao (at Longsheng Rice Terrace) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwPllpjlRF4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=raysv8mbv2zf

When in Berlin... Remembering when I was in Berlin when the Wall came down 30 years ago. Waking over to East Berlin for the first time, dancing on the wall with East Germans, simply being part of history. #berlinwall #berlin #berlinermauer #history #nowalls (at East Side Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu1J08jnkZi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=309u5t6itibc
