Dali

... hostellissa. Nyt lekottelemme hotellilla, joka sijaitsee järven vieressä. Yksityishuone maksaa 2€/huone ja olemme tällä hetkellä hotellin ainoat vieraat. Nyt on off- season, koska lämpötilaa on vain reilut 20 astetta eli on kylmä. Minusta ajankohta on täydellinen: Kaupungissa saa kävellä rauhassa ilman tungosta ja kaikki palvelut ovat käden ulottuvilla ilman ...

Gambei!

... the nearby lake, Erhai Hu - a reportedly long, hot and not so rewarding ride. Instead, we took the "local" option and cycled the 2km to the famous Three Pagodas, around Dali (a great way to see the perimeters of the town) and then down to the lake shore nearby at Caicun. <br><br> <br><br>Next it was off to Lijiang, another famous old town and rival to Dali for the title of "prettiest town in Yunnan".

Ahhh, we slowed down the pace in Dali, China

... were very few tourists there. The guard at the Lakeview temple was so bored due to the lack of visitors, that he gave B2 a big hug and wanted his photo taken. It was quite funny. He pointed out a few buildings and told us a few things in Chinese. We smiled and laughed with him, to give him some company. He was a jolly fellow. On day three we roamed the streets of a village to the east called Cai Cun, it was a quiet and serene village, or so we thought ...

Hunting plant hunters

Yunnan is home to many of the plants we now have in many gardens around the world. The province was a rich hunting ground for botantists in the 19th and 20th centuries. The amazing thing is that so many plants native to this region are now found growing in less favourable. One of the differences is that plants here at high altitude are quite bright. When seen growing at sea level they don't always have such a bright complexion. I've come across a blog from ...

You Want Ganja???

... It's now time to study for my final exams.... its Friday morning, I have been up since 6:30am pumping out two co-op telephone interviews and I have to finish a term paper and some serious study action before I rip up the town tonight with Chantal and Megan Rendell who are here on a visit from Victoria. Only 8 days left in Hong Kong.... then..... the best ****ing day of my life on Koh Phangan (Thailand) with 30+ friends and a bucket of Thai whiskey. Incredible!

Everybody was kung fu fighting...

... up for that. We wake up around 5:45am to the sound of drums and bells and the monks chanting. There are also a few other non-monk teachers and children who study here. At 8am we eat breakfast and from 9-12 we have stretching, chi gong, and tai chi/kung fu practice. We eat together for every meal - the food is served family style and it's all vegetarian, so lots of veggies and tofu. When you ...

Salvador Probably Would Have Liked It Here

... It is these Bai women that try to sell hash to tourists on the streets, rather than the male motorbike riding pushers of the the rest of S.E. Asia. Girls do kick ass here. Too, there is beginning to have a more Tibetan feel to the architecture and people's faces as I get higher up and closer to the border with Tibet. The food has also changed. There are fewer fruits in the markets and more vegetables that grow ...

Dali Old Town

... raw pie was brushed with molten fat before cooking, with the odd splash of liquid fat thrown in now and then for good measure. It was good pie though. After a big of haggling over a "happy happy budda, very beautiful!" we left for Dali and we so so happy when we saw our hotel rooms complete with bath and the promise of HOT water, such a luxury!! I even had a bath yesterday. Amazing. We visited Dali New Town yesterday and went to a muslim restaurant. The New Town is ...
