The market offered everything from fruits and veggies - fresh, candied, pickled, dried - to meat, live chickens, clothes and shoes, everyday appliances and a variety of food. We tried all kinds of new foods and of course I do not recall the names of any. I was interested in the Bai clothing and looked for items that are practical to wear on an everyday base ...
... we made it.
Now the bus pulled in what seemed like the middle of nowwhere and the bus was over RUN, and I mean over run as 15 people ran at the door, pushing a shoving one another to be first at the door. At first I thought they wanted to be first on the bus, then I realised they wanted to grap passengers for their transport/car. And of cause you had to negotiate a price before you got in.
Luckily Jane's ...
... there was all the food that was on the menu, there were fish and shrimp swimming around in buckets, frogs examing the interior of another and a vast range of vegetables, most of which I had no idea what they were or what they would taste like. I decided on beef with red and green pepper, a personal faverout of mine and I was thinking safety first in this relatively unknown form of cooking.
Dali, Yunnan, China thom_ayers... the kids have received some postcards, letters and foreign money from Nigel and Freddie. They seem pleased, so that is good. I am working on keeping Nigel current so we can send another letter or two before the school year is over. We had a chocolate chip cookie from Sweet Tooth on Bo Ai Street near Renming. It was so moist and delicious! It is the best dessert I have had in months. It was like a little piece of heaven! The store gives opportunities ...
Dali, Yunnan, China theresabill... new towns. All cab drivers wanted 10 RMB so we hoped into the first one we saw and set out for the Jade Emu Guest House. At check-in, we met a super friendly Aussie who also happened to be the owner. Minutes later, Tom and I were heatedly discussing the merits of going direct to Jinghong from Dali instead of Kunming direct to Luang Prabang. We'd have to arrange transport from Jinghong to Mengla and over ...
Dali, Yunnan, China tipperoonie... caucasian) fresh faced eco-loving college co-eds, farmers' markets, corner co-ops, tasty vegetarian burritos, patchuli oil aroma, biking around the hills, and - of course - smokin' the gange. It's a fact, we love our eco-friendly transport, organic produce, and are can be even downright proud of our state's fine reefer. And it Dali, you can find almost all of the above, to the point that you might think you've stepped across some fold in the fabric of time/space to find ...
Dali, Yunnan, China craignerin... streets brimming with a hybrid Euro-Sino cafe culture, intersected by streams flowing through to the lake from the surrounding mountains. The sheer volume of the various eating and watering holes means Dali really comes alive in the evening, as seems to be the case with many of the Chinese towns we have visited. The Amsterdamization is enhanced when approached by elderly Bai women, dressed in ...
Dali, Yunnan, China emex... goodbyes to A Qing. Realizing that it was our last night in Dali we wanted to find our way out to the southern gate and walk along the city wall that evening. We went for a wonderful supper at a Tibetan restaurant ~ I had the best meal of all the meals we had on this trip; and then we walked around the wall until it was time to head back to the hotel. Ah, beautiful Dali ~ how wonderful you look at night, too!
