Dali, a cut above the rest
... a haircut. I would like a trim, only 2cms off. No Chinese Boy Haircut." or something to that effect. Armed with the note we set off into town to find a likely hairdresser. The Lonely Planet says that a bad Chinese haircut is a status symbol of sorts amongst travellers, though I don't really fancy a red-tinted bouffant with spikes to show that I've been to China. When we do find a place, my man is very good and very careful; the result is pleasant on my head and it only cost £2. ...
Oldtown Dali

Wir mussten nur wieder einmal feststellen, dass es wirklich sehr schade ist, dass wir kein Wort chinesisch sprechen. Die netten Leute in unserem Abteil wollten ihr Essen und vielleicht auch ein paar Erfahrungen mit uns teilen.

So, taking this literally, I have taken it upon myself to have banana pancakes every day for brekkie whilst we are here. Oh yeah, and we've been doing a lot of 'hanging out.' Dali has numerous cafes which serve excellently bold and aromatic Yunnan coffee, as well as tasty and ...
I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore
... Either way we managed to get a great view of the pagodas and felt very happy with ourselves that we had saved £26 in entrance fees, but we didn’t hang around too long as we didn’t want to be the cause of some shock-induced heart attacks in the village.
That evening we went wandering to try and find a cheap place to eat. Unfortunately cheap cafes are quite few and far between here in Dali and we were starting to get a bit fed up at looking at ...
