Up-front and personal. Life of an ex-pat in China. Culture, Recipes, Pictures and More! Thursday, July 14, 2011. Observations From a Train! We are on our way to Dali in the Yunnan Province. We are on a budget this year so we opted for seats instead of the hardsleeper. It cut the price in half. Imagine our surprise when we boarded the train and discovered our seats were on the bottom bunk of a hardsleeper! Clean bodies, get your butt on the bottom bunk SIR!

The flavor is similar to a boiled peanut without salt. I never had to worry about puncturing my lip with a peanut though. He offers a pic for 5 yuan but so far, no takers.

They moved in close and started firing questions at me. Where are you going, why? Oh, that doesn't leave till 9pm, you'll never get a ticket. What are you doing there? How long have you lived there? Where are you from, how old are you? That's a lot of luggage for one person, you waiting on a friend? Gilbert K. Chesterton. Links to this post.
