1st comment here.....Yunnan seems like a path to an escapist's dreamland, can't wait to hear more of it. btw, i just finished reading On Chesil Beach, and only recently discovered someone who like Ian McEwan and Neil Gaiman as I do plus the lot of musical commonground O.O

i know what you mean about the flowers. i always had fresh flowers in my flat in kunming, and the lillies lasted almost 2 weeks!

Re: Kunming and Holey Pants

Charlie — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 12:26:49 -0000

Oh man Kunming is awesome!! Have you tried the Over the Bridge noodles. Forgot what it's really called but I'm sure there's Bridge in the name somewhere hahaha.

Eh by the way, congrats on those amazing uni offers!! They weren't stupid enough to turn someone like you down : ) I knew you could do it!!

'Beh tahan" hahhah - at least he tried, and very very hard too at getting his point across. He could have tried to make hand gestures (universal sign language hehe), but seeing as how the nature of the emergency was rather delicate, it could have turned out fairly.....risque? =P

Yunnan is so beautiful and in some ways, so disjointedly different from China isn't it? And the tea they produce is the unbelievable. Martian likes pu er eh? He has good taste, that man (alien?) =D It's the king of teas, with a price tag to match, really.

Yunnan looks lovely from your pictures. And the food. And the parks (and ducks!). And those kids. And those flowers *swoons*, love flowers (can't whinge about the price either) and those blooms looked to be in tip-top condition and enormous to boot!

Jun — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 07:52:20 -0000

i had the same thought as sheon for #3 (and #18). they sure din look wormy ;p

as for #28 i'm reminded of the time when i visited my distant relatives in guangzhou 10 yrs ago, where i saw the boys decked in the same "holey pants". guess this is the one fashion trend that remains "classic" as ever *LOL*

btw did u end up buying the roses and the strawberries?

#13 It's not a knapsack (knapsack is just a synonym for regular backpacks.)

What you're thinking of is a bindle. See here:

pinkpau : haha it is an eye opening experience and shocking one too, cause u have academics that tag along explaining deeper things and history, culture, politics, economics etc that brings everything you look at into perspective.

you feel like you're chinese but had no idea that the chinese were something else yet.. similar. To quote my lecturer

"same same but different, a very asian saying"

hehe

malaysian food ALOT . and not expensive at all (considering that its NYC afterall) . cheap ones bout $5 per plate? to name some, nyonya, sentosa, penang, curry leaves, and many more =) quite nice. ofcourse cant be compared to those at home but good enough and seriously ull be thankful that you have Malaysian food. I feel bad for my friends in Montana, Pittsburgh etc... ofcourse unless you cook!

Re: Kunming and Holey Pants

Michelle — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 23:09:50 -0000

Yay!

*flashes ear to ear grin*

When are you coming over? Make sure it's not when I'm back in Malaysia.

nyrac — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 22:13:34 -0000

hehe if you ever decide that you wanna go china again, and martian is not free to come along, i can always volunteer to be your chinese-speaking guide ;)

my dad went to the stone forest years and years ago, and the pics he took made me want to go soooooo much, until he told me about the toilets there. are they still as horrifying as they used to be?

Re: Kunming and Holey Pants

sheon — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 21:13:42 -0000

right...worms for pets.........i used to buy that for my fishy-fishy also....in malaysia here they sell it frozen one.... so back then, in my fridge i had tubs of icecream, sausages, crabsticks, mixed veges, and frozen worms......appetizing huh?

august?....ooh..still a long way to go. let me buy you a cuppa before you leave, will ya?
