This was the first week that I really felt like I was on the tourist loop. It started in Kunming and has stayed with me in Dali. I had to shift the purpose of the last few days to just enjoying myself. A few days of relaxation is alright. It has helped remind me how much I like working in some way.

Kunming: I was invited to  the weekly english discussion at Kunming Yunnan Hospital. I walked around the city a lot and saw some beautiful gates and temples.  I met  many travellers and English teachers.

Dali: The last few days I've been meeting a few local guys to teach me how to do traditaional Bai woodworking.  I went rock climbing on a cliff face to the east of Lake Erhai. That was beautiful and fun. I'm going to try to involve more climbing in my future travels. I took a Chinese cooking class. We made some delicious dishes. If your're in Dali try ClimbDali  for outdoor activity and Rice and Friends for learning about Chinese food.

My plan is to head to Chaingmai, Thailand and get my Indian visa. I hope to arrange some WWOOFing in India. Maybe on my reentry to China I will try some WWOOFing but as I was looking before it didn't look like it is quite WWOOFing as I believe it to be.

I wish China had better internet I'd love to upload these photos.
