Stephanie Tam said... Learned a lot about the history of this village and current practices - the hour went by really quickly, even though the experience was not rushed at all. My guide emphasized the cooking, communal bathing practices and diverse religions of community. We got to taste some corn boiled in the alkaline hot spring, and they let you stay as long as you like in the village to take a closer look at the church, meeting house, and wait for the geyers to spout. Highly recommend!
