Yunan 2014

One of the more far-flung provinces of China with majority of it in high altitude (hence the "cloud" in its name). More details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yunnan

Trivia from our tour guide, Yunnan had produced very few imperial scholars because of its proximity from the imperial capital - nerds can't take the long travel and those who can aren't einsteins.

    We arrived from Shangri-la at night, after a 4hr+ bus ride (fyi, the bus is not gonna win prizes with cleanliness and the journey down is through winding mountain routes. btw, the rest-stop toilets, makes the bus clean enough to eat off from in comparison (just think no flush, stream of water and ppl side by side..) anyway, we stayed in the old town, which is bustling with tourists (we were told we were in the down season though) but i actually like the vibe of the town (cept for the thumping music of some of the clubs, knn damn shag).
    A recurring theme in the old town is that of "艳遇“ (i.e. make new friend from the opposite gender... ahem), inspired by the movie 艳遇丽江 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/6521261.htm). So when we walked around town, the propensity of "艳遇" is a major selling selling point of the pubs, clubs, shops et
    1 of the pubs which we popped into. Many pub singers sell their cds in various shops around town and we popped by this particular pub cause we kindda like the resident singer. Unfortunately, she wasn't around and we ended up with a dude (needless to say, we didn't stay long).
