Now would you believe it??? Went out with Monika and Alex – the guys i did meet last winter in Pai at Chris’s place. At my place did stay a Scott that know how to play the guitar. So one evening we had dinner at Chris’s and i took Scott, and the same evening Monika and Alex where there as well. Now – a few months later in Dali – after our dinner we went to a little bar not really in the center. And who sits there and plays the guitar??? What a small world after all!!

Every day the trash truck drives down the streets and stops every few meters. They play some music like “Happy Birthday” (why?? could play anything else….) and everybody comes with the trash!

Than 1.8 hours to get out of town and a total of 6 hours to get to dali – 350 km. Than another 30 min to get to old town. than they steal my money in the hotel – 80 rmb for one room for one night – fuck.

As i had to book online and wanted to fly tomorrow morning – there where only 1st class seats possible. So now i have a 1st class seat to Kunming – great – also for my miles-and-more account.
According to Dave there will be bus transportation from the airport to Dali – should be a nice drive up into the mountains.
