I took TG via BKK and met up with my cousin at the waiting bay. Onboard, seated next to me, is an elderly Australian. He is heading to Nanning to meet and marry a lady he was introduced to 3 years ago. He got a teaching job in Nanning thru ATC in Australia and hope to stay 1 yr b4 going back to Australia. I wish him all the best!
It started to drizzle when our flight landed at Kunming International Airport. We took a cab (Y30) to the bus station and bought our bus tickets (Y123) from Kunming to Xiaguang. We arrived at the bus station amidst heavenly shower blessing. We got drenched. Thankfully, the small towel I tucked inside my backpack at a last minute, came in very useful.
From Xiaguang, we took a cab to Dali Ancient Town (Y30) and bumped into Father Larry, Lifei, Teresa and her guest from Hong Kong, Andrew. They just had their dinner and are preparing to go back. I only knew Teresa then as she came to Singapore about 2 wks ago. After checking in, we went for our dinner. I'm amazed at the way they laid out the uncooked food in plates and basins on the floor for customers to pick. I had a fulfilling dinner. Nice vegetables and soup. (Ah! I mention to my cousin that I want to go on vegetarian diet when I'm there as I understand the people in Dali loves dog's meat and I cannot bring myself to stomach that.)
