We’ve mostly been resting since we arrived in China. Physically I feel much better, mostly recovered from my recent problems. Kunming is in Yunnan province in southern China and is known as the City of Eternal Spring for its nice climate. It is literal spring right now though, the trees are blossoming.
Our AirBnb is near Green Lake Park which is a nice park and lake in the center of the city. Although there are over 5 million people in Kunming, it doesn’t seem very crowded, especially compared to the last few places we’ve been, the density must be lower.
Nice to be able to walk around without a face mask for pollution.
People dancing in the park, enjoying life.
Yanmei has been to Kunming before. That’s why it is funny that she is now experiencing some culture shocks in her native country. For example we went to eat at a hotpot restaurant and she couldn’t figure out how the ordering system worked or what the prices were. Speaking of restaurants, one of the bad things about this region is many people here smoke, and they do it in restaurants. My tolerance for smoke is way down and I find it very off putting.
We had an amusing coincidence yesterday. While browsing a tea shop, Yanmei found out the shopkeeper’s name is also Yanmei Li.
The two Yanmei Lis.
