April 18, 2004Kunming at Last
After two boring days in Jinhong, I was ready to move on to Kunming and meeting up with Anthony again. I had spent the better part of my time in Jinhong reading Clan of the Cave Bear in the Mei Mei Cafe near my rat trap guesthouse and was ready for moving on. I had a flight for 8:30pm, but there were thunderstorms and we didn't get off the ground until almost 10. When I arrived in Kunming, I was exhausted and happily fell asleep in the comfy hotel. Ant was waiting up for me and it was nice to finally meet up with him again. When I went down to the breakfast buffet I was overjoyed to see my favorite Chinese food- BREAKFAST BUNS!!! These are doughy little treats that are steamed and can have a consistancy similar to super fresh bagels. They have little bits of meat or veggies inside and I can eat ten of them at a sitting, dipping them in strong soy sauce. MMMMMmmmmmm. After gorging myself, I went and posted a package back to the US. It cost me about $25 for 2.4 kilos, not too bad. Mom, expect it in about a month. Today and tomorrow are going to be relaxing days before the long journey through Lijiang, Chengdu, Tibet and finally into Nepal. Comments
I loved the Jean Auel series. I read all of them day and night until finished. The books usually took me 3-4 days. Enjoy. I am now reading a Joyce Carol Oates book, We Were the Mulvaneys.
