Goodnight from Kunming

A Walk through Green Lake Park

Last day in Kunming

Today we ate breakfast as usual and then the group went to a tea tasting place. It was a tourist place but very fun and we did buy some tea. Yunnan is famous for very good tea, not that I am a qualified tea connoisseur but the teas was indeed good. After that we went for another walk in the park. This time Mary, Karah & MeiLi went with me and another family also accompanied us. This evening we received MeiLi's Chinese passport (which is why we were waiting here in Kunming) so tomorrow we fly out to Guangzhou. We will be paying for Internet service in Guangzhou and since it is quite expensive my blog posts may be short. Personally, I do not believe a hotel to be proper unless it has free Internet service :-) One thing about Kunming, the spoken English here is not really very good and not everyone speaks Mandarin either. So communication in the hotel was a lot harder than in Beijing. For example, it took us awhile tonight to get someone who could understand that we wanted to order one meal and split it between the girls. It was spaghetti and boy can MeiLi slurp noodles! They have a play area in the restaurant so we were ale to get some good pics of the girls playing.
