Hey all !
again!! A message from China! Im gonna type al in English now, too lazy to translate all! Sorry for the people who arent that good in English! Hope you all dont get bored with a message everyday so far!!! :)
Today i woke up at 5 am in Beijing to catch my flight to Lijiang, where I am now! When i was checking out , it rained quiet hard!! Not a nice start when you know you have to catch a taxi. The first 10 taxis even didnt see me! Maybe cause it was dark or they just didnt wanna see me. Who knows..Finally i got one and i was right on time for my flight to Kunming!
Once in Kunming i had to wait for almost 4 hours. So i dropped my bag in a locker, took a taxi and went to a park in the middle of the city. Walked around there for about a bit more then 1 hour. Kunming is one of the hundreds of big cities in China. Im sure there arent any small cities anyway!! The pics are taken there.
I got back on time at the airport, had to wait for about an hour. Enough time to get my bag and check in. The flight only was 40 minutes! When we were loosing height to land the scenery was really, really beautifull!! Green mountains everywhere!! The air is soo fresh here compared to Beijing! The hostel is super! Ive got a very nice room!
I met 3 guys and a girl. 2 from UK and one from Canada. The girl is dutch and ofcourse she has a ' waarbenjij.nu diary' . Way to go, we keep on growing WBJ.nu team!! :) We had dinner with the staff here. Talked about China and Mao and half a liter of beer for 6 yuan!! So thats 60 cents!! Ridiculous, but good :)
People here look very different compared to Beijing. More like people from Tibet, but that aint weird cause Tibet is quiet close to here!!
The 3 guys asked me to join them to the pub, wich is called Sexy Tractor! How funny. But i didnt joy them, maybe tomorrow..Im tired and wanna relax here a bit...
The internet is for free here in this hostel, hooray!
Oh, Sundhee...2 guys are from London, i asked them if they knew you, but they didnt ;) Chance of 1 in 8 million huh ?? :)))
Anyway, i wanna upload some pics, but there is a girl waiting here to use the net. So maybe ill do now or later!
Thanks for all your messages guys and gals !! :) Really nice!!!
Take care there peeps!!
Oh...and, i guess you noticed, but China is amazing!! Really having a good time overhere !!
Hugs!!

Nog met Chinezen gepraat? En ik zag foto met 2 die een spel spelen? Mah jong ofzo? Dus, wat een vragen weer.
