People walk through an archway into the courtyard of the Louvre museum.

Enter the Louvre museum at the break of dawn and you exit at nearly nighttime. A full day of art intake has a profound toll on a person's body. I have coined the term the "Louvre syndrome" in case anyone wants to use it.

Footbridge Photo: Chinese tourists use a slightly unsafe footbridge to cross a river. The footbridge is a drawing point for tourists to this village but in the 4 days I spent at Fenghuang, I personally saw 3 people fall into the river. Bruised egos aside, no one was injured.
