An early start to another day of fabulous hospitality and unbelievable sceenary.
Start that by being picked up at 8am by Mioaw's family and Jenny. Off to Snow Mountain, 5600 meters of snow capped mountain. when we arrived there were bus load of Chinese tourist lined up at the gate to the cable car. Not us we went the side part to a back door which was unlocked from the inside and we were let in. Straight onto the next cable car and we were off. We started at the base of the cable car at 36...
spent the morning trying to send documents to Richard. Nothing quiet works the way it should.
Translator Dianna and Michael and I went to Old Lijiang Town. Dianna is a local, so her knowledge of the old town was amazing. She took us to a very special tea house where we were taught the finer art of tea making and the art of pu er tea selection. We drank tea from the first 3 day of shoots from the top of a tree 2700 year old. Yes 2700 years old!
During our walk Michael helped a ma...
You wont believe this but am writing yesterdays happenings while on a bus from Lijiang to Dali. We are front seats… naturally, and we have a work bench in front of us.
Anyway yesterday started with a sleep-in until 7.30 and a 9.am start. Off to the Black Dragon Pond. This was an Emperors palace garden with natural springs, lakes, temples, magnificent gardens, and marble balustrades everywhere. Many of these structures and building were destroyed during the Mao revolution, but reb...
Sorry about this but I have written so much that this doc wouldn't hold it.
After the tour we headed back to the hotel to send another package of gifts home. Getting gifts is expensive, $300 to send this lot back home. Miaow's mother got a call and asked if we minded if we had an extra for dinner. I said no not a problem. then we found out it was her Buddist Master. We had dinner in the hotels revolving restaurant. the Master, head monk for the region was a lovely guest and we had a gr...

... or fruits. I also went to a dongbei restaurant for some northern chinese food. In the evening, I went to see the famous Naxi Orchestra, located inside a beautiful building in Old Town. All members (26 at last count) are Naxi and play a type of Taoist temple music (known as dòngjīng ) that has been lost elsewhere in China. The pieces they perform are supposedly faithful renditions of music from the Han, Song and Tang dynasties, and ...

... 50Yuan and 20 of that was a voucher we could spend in the old town. By the by it was well worth it I got me a much needed leather belt with the voucher, checked into my hostel while the others checked into another guest house. Now the K2 is basic as far as hostels go but I could not help but feel like an unwanted guest at someones house I was ignored most times and then a few vague directions when I asked for information but hey check out the ...

We arrived in Lijiang a few days ago and we haven't been able to shift our cold, not for lack of trying. We went out a few nights ago to a supposed Irish bar called Stowe on the Wold and had quite a few Hot Toddies but, especially in Damians case, his runny nose and sore throat have become even worse.<br><br>Its not so bad to be ...

... but lovely. So I went for it. She look me to her house, the traditional Naxi design, one house with a closed courtyard/lawn/tractor/put anything area. We had tea and she wanted me to dress up and take photos, but instead I just shot photos of her. I was never into dress up. Afterwards, I went out to the Banyon Tree where Jude and company was. They had a hot tub in their own private courtyard! It was a great place, so great we ended up having dinner there.

... loudly some song in Chinese and then shouts to the other group "Yaso Yaso Ya-Ya-So!" (Summer and Vivian told us "Yaso" means "Come on"). I still do not understand how do you win this contest, but it's really amusing to see them doing that. We are now staying and Lijiang and try to decide what to do next. We'll see...
