Yun Nan trip, day 1

June 1^st

5:45am: waking up

Now, waiting at the airport to board on the plane.

I have heard a lot about Yun Nan and the cities we are going to be visiting, my father has also repeated told his traveling stories there while showing me the beautiful pictures he’s taken. Still, I’m not quite sure what to expect.

It is such a coincidence that my friend Ben will also be going to the same cities as us in Yun Nan. We are going with different traveling groups, but perhaps we’ll meet in Li Jiang in three days or so! We first met in Toronto and haven’t seen each other for about a year, it’d be such a pleasure to see him in the beautiful town of Li Jiang.

5:39PM

Almost 12h since we woke up! Sitting in the cafe called Lampone by Cui Hui Park in the capital of Yun Nan province, Kunming, writing a brief update.

Plane ride was around 3h, today I was told by Kun Ming natives that it’s an especially hot day. Everywhere seems to be greener and slightly more moist. I cannot help but to notice the beautiful girls strolling on the street, and the dominating number of motorcycles over bicycles on the streets as well as in the parking lots for bikes.

We’ll be leaving for Da Li at 7pm, then spend the night there. Tomorrow we’ll tour Dali.

Our first dish here in Kun Ming: Bamboo beef.
