11/10/07: Don't Cube Yourself
Back to Beijing via Kunming.
The following is one description I stumbled upon about Kunming:
The capital of Yunnan Province, Kunming is known in China as the "City of Eternal Spring". Domestic and foreign tourists relish the temperate climate and comparatively pristine air of Kunming. In addition to its own charms it serves as a hub from which to explore Yunnan province. The city has a population of around 4 million.
To be fair, during our 8 hour layover we weren't able to capitalize on everything Kunming had to offer. BUT descriptors like "Eternal Spring" and "pristine air" seem to be a stretch.
A great segue to Old Man Josh's public stretching.
However, Kunming did have its definite highlights like this delicious little noodle shop on the side of the road.
Peking Opera performed at a local neighborhood theater which we stumbled upon behind a storefront.
To be a kid again and find joy in the simplest things, like dirt.
Insert background music: World, Hold On (Children of the Sky).
Haley and Josh, thank you for making the trip. As ALWAYS, it is an absolute pleasure to spend time with you both. We thoroughly enjoy your company and cherish your friendship. We just wish we knew more answers to your questions!
Let us continue to support and challenge each other as we quickly approach 11/08/08 and let us also find the simple joys in dirt. I know, deep. Ultimately, let us get to a point in life where we don't cube ourselves--if that is what will make us happiest. On a scale of 1 to 10, life is good.
Signing off,
Libra/Eldest Child
