Chasing the Sun
... When I was talking to Kelly she said she was expecting more rural areas and instead everything is just being built up and under construction and nothing like she expected and I agree. I think it has some nice parts and if I came back I would definitely see more of the country side but I won't miss it. Especially the spitting, smoking, traffic, pollution, the hole-in-the-ground toilets, babies peeing in the streets through their butt flaps and the awful food I keep seeming to ...
Shoes and shrines: looking southward from Kunming
