Catch up

Oops, it's been a while.

Well, we did get to Kunming. Spent the afternoon checking out Green Lake park, saw lots of people singing, doing tai chi and performing plays.

On Friday we went to the stone forest, just outside Kunming, which was really beautiful. Escaped from the scary tour groups (It was sunny so all the women were carrying umbrellas to protect their pale complexions and nearly taking out our eyes in the process). We sat in a glade and read our books for an hour.

On Saturday they went back to Australia and I went back to Lijiang, then on to Lugu Lake on Sunday. This week I've been staying in Zhudi and working my butt off with my translator there to get my interviews translated.

Mum seems to have adjusted well to the news of my impending nuptuals, and has taken to calling my fiance to talk about flowers and gift registries. So nice, having it all done for me! Commented on the phone to Scott tonight, that when he finishes this semester he will be a 29 year old singleton, by the time he starts next semester he will be 30 and married. He didn't sound too enthused... Told me to stop rubbing it in. But he must be excited cos he keeps calling me up to talk about guest lists and venues.
