Kunming

From Shangri-la,we took the bus all the way back to Lijang and enjoyed a few days ofjust walking around the town and soaking up the idyllic atmosphere. We even made it to the snow mountain musicfestival in the nearby twin town of Sushe but instead of chinese rock we saw two french travellers earning their travelling money by juggling in the street and playing the accordian. It was just crazy to see the chinese tourists being so generous. In about 20 minutes the guys had earned 600 yuan. In one week they would save 400$ just performing in the squares and in 'La Petit Paris', a french restaurant in Lijang. What a way to travel.

And then it was time to get back to Kunming and on to Vietnam. A few days in Kunming and it was just what the doctor ordered. A few days to chill, late nights and even later mornings and being pampered by the swiss. Another bus ride which I'll not forget in a hurry.
