Unfortunatley the trip to the zoo the previous day did nothing but tire me more so today was left to be a lazy day with a little exploring. There was disaster for xi today when she realised that she had fogotten to pack a pair of high heeld shoes for the journey but feer not readers! We maiged to find a department store and several hours we left a very disgruntled looking assistant witha three pairs of shoes and belt, panick over we began to plan the next free days on kunming.

... Province. <br>The film impressed the judges and warmed the hearts of audiences at the 12th Shanghai International Film Festival this week.<br>Initially, the brother filmmakers intended to simply shoot a movie<br>about children. But after they read a report ...

... boiling pot and share. Ok, it doesn't sound that exciting but believe me its so good we've been craving it and eating it almost every night. I've had it in Taiwan but it's not that good there, hotpot is a different story in Yunnan. On this occasion I accidentally chewed and ate a massive spicy chili, I felt my head go on fire, lips went numb, I ran around the restaurant looking for water, thought I was going to die and then when I finally calmed down I realized my sickness was cured.

... here. Kunming, along with all Chinese cities is definitely embracing the opportunities offered by shamelessly capitalist economic development. This leaves some vastly contradictory images that continue to amuse me, like the police men that have a check point on the street corner, sheltered from the sun by a McDonalds umbrella (sadly didn't get a photo of this as I felt that taking photos of the police would probably cause ...

This will pose a huge problem for China and they are considering changing their policy as there is now a 4-2-1 crisis in the country where every child will soon have to support (either directly or through entitlements) two parents and four grandparents, since the average life expectancy is so long in China. The conversation moved to my own culture and how ...

... the animals had concrete cages for the most part, and were shut out in the open (generally a pretty small space) so they couldnt hide away from the public, but a lot of them had company.. Just after I arrived I followed some music and found a circusy type show about to begin.. They made mokeys and sun bears ride bicycles, a goat walk a tightrope with a monkey clinging to its back, and elephants do hand stands amoungst other things, but sadly ...

... in China. The only thing is worth seeing is an elephant show in which Monika acts as a volunteer. After that, a short visit to a tea house (trap-visit) where we buy nothing, but take lots of different teas without paying. It's time to go to the train station, we are leaving Yunnan Province tonight, towards Anshun, in Guizhou province. We also have to share our cabin, and have dinner inside the train with some hot dogs we bought right out of the station: delicious. Good night!

... 6:30AM and started the 2.5km trek to my hostel. I passed many who were walking to work or outside doing their morning calisthenics. I'm back in a place where the locals in the streets look at me with curiosity. Not a single person tried to sell me a room or moto ride or trinket. YEAH! I was the only tourist in the whole bus station and I didn't pass another person with a pack walking the streets. I say I like it now, but remind me of this post when I'm complaining ...
