... just saw) was a slightly grimmer tale, with Caragh falling under the influence of a, at times crippling, stomach ailment. Not to mention our two hangovers. Caragh, the stalwart that she is, still managed a forty five minute hike up to the Zhonghe Shan chairlift, followed by about 200 steps to the cafe at the top, all at around 2,000m above sea level. Oh, and she managed to take about 600 photos ...

The old man was holding his arm out and tapping near his shoulder, indicating that their were fish the size of his arm in the pond. I knew it was a joke but I figured I would amuse myself and toss a few lines before I left. We ate our last meal in China and ...

... flip flops! We then lost the trail so had to climb up a little bank, my foot ended up in an inch of mud, I dont recommend anyone tries trekking up hill, through nettles and undergrowth in wet muddy slippy flipaflops, challenging doesnt cover it!

My hair is long and bouncy, no split ends ...

... Nothing lasted more than 20 minutes, it seems our Chinese counsins have short attention spans. My personal favourite is the dancing girls that are paid to get up on the dance floor to encourage everyone else to do the same. They're the only ones that can dance however. Without exception. We're invited to join a group of Chinese guys that are celebrating a birthday and are subsequently plied with booze until ...

The nice thing about Dali Old Town is being able to walk through the streets without being stared at like some sort of monster for being western. The nasty thing about Dali Old Town is that despite its touristy feel, this morning i saw a mother holding her bare - bottomed son while he did a poo onto the pavement. Beside a restaurant. Next to the raw food. Yummy. We arrived here on wednesday after saying good bye to Wa Se for a couple of weeks. It was a really nice ...
