Lets go: Kat and I soak in Dali and the surrounding area.

… is the number of times I was approached by 65+ yr old women to buy “smokey smokey” in Dali.

More Yunnan photos can be found here and here.

Eating with Morrow-lite: Kat plays the part of Morrow and eats street food.

This is my local number in China. This number cost me 130 yuan (~$18 USD) which is cheap. Numbers are priced according to how many lucky numbers — 6s and 8s are the best — are present. My number would have been more expensive except it contained a ‘4’ which pronounced in Mandarin sounds similar to word for death. Specifically, the ‘4’ follows a ‘6’ and is before an ‘8’ so it means I will die following a brief bit of prosperity. Yay.

Goodbye Shanghai, hello Yunnan.

It doesn’t matter where I go - Beijing, Shanghai or Yunnan - this song is always playing in the stores, restaurants and bars. And it is always the unplugged version.
