... century & is 70 metres high. We didn't go inside but rode past & they can be seen from all around the countryside.




Back into town we rode down a street where everyone was a marble craftsman. Outside their shops were big rocks of marble & inside were the finished products - beautiful big urns, vases & ...

... excellent cafes, I set off with my camera through the old streets of Dali itself. Sandwiched between the lake to the East and mountains to the West, the walled town is undeniably picturesque. People seem to spend a long time here, and it's easy to see why... The setting is picture perfect, and combined with the tourist infrastructure the town is capable of providing some easy living. Old streets and streams are intermixed with tourist roads, with ...

... in itself. Chinese is more conceptual than English. For example, there is a phrase (bu) that means that the meaning of the sentence is in the negative, rather than having separate words like not, no, never, etc. It's an interesting insight into why Chinese and English do not translate well (speaking of which, the number of amusing translations that we see on a daily basis is prodigal). Tomorrow we learn about Chinese cooking, and we have a trip and work this weekend.

Bref, on fume nos trois paquets de clopes en 1h ici... la ballade en velo a travers des rizieres et des villages est sympa, on s'amuse mais on se defonce les cuisse aussi, pas un de nous ne ressort le cul indemne de cette epopee veloesque.

C'est merveilleux, emotion, j'en pleure encore...

We are all exhausted and regretting our choice, but it is satisfying to have it over with. the ride was nice, through small local villages with great scenery, but every minute of the riding after the first 4 hours was hell! my butt hurts and i think i will be very stiff in the morning. tomorrow morning we are up early to catch the public bus to Lijiang. sorry this entry is so short, but i am absolutely exhausted.

... about taking photos ~ and then we noticed that someone was taking photos of us! The photographer introduced himself as someone from the national tv station, and asked whether he could take some more shots. We obliged, naturally! Then back to our hotel and out for dinner at one of the many restaurants, and a good night's sleep in our warm and comfortable room looking forward to tomorrow's tour around the lake.

... who knew it. The girls felt a bit guilty and with some pushing decided they would do head shoulders knees and toes! Angelina said she knew this song, but when it came to it she got all wrong and i found myself again up on stage, with the mic, singing my heart out! We finished off with the okey-cokey, which was really funny to us and the crowd. Somehow we had pulled it off and the fairly cold village had become a little bit warmer. Especially when electric blankets ...

... s Cafe for breakfast and a coffee or two. Between mouthfulls of coffee and scrambled eggs I began talking to an Israely lady whom was sitting at the Korean Cafe accross the little laneway. It was so funny as most people could only see me as I was lower down. They looked at me like I was insane as they thought I was talking to myself. Some just stared at me until ...
