Kunming

I took a quick trip this weekend to Kunming... a late evening flight brought me two days of ultimate in fantastic weather in a vibrant, interesting town. This place will become one of my favorite weekend destinations. As i write this, i'm sitting on the rooftop patio of our hostel overlooking the city and watching the sunset. The air and streets are cleaner than Beijing, the vibe is more relaxed, and it's 6000 ft elevation. It reminds be a bit of Colorado. I'm vaguely entertaining dreams of moving here after my stint in the Jing. But that's a long time from now,
and we all know what can happen in a year.

Me, caught mid-rooftop-blogging.


Evening view from the rooftop.


Deserted alley near the fields.

This shop has 8 employees. And one customer. What unemployment problem?

p.s. Therese arrives in 20 days, and she already has a job!

how i hope i were there! what do you think about the Ningbo team?

Ningbo was pretty good, they lost all the games but we were all very impressed. They have great throws and love the deep game, they probably just need to be more patient on offense.
...by the way... those first two comments were posted by Tao, using my account.
