Day 3
Wif the plane tickets we bought from ytd, we departed at 805.
*HUMILIATING EXPERIENCE*
I thought it was a budget flight like airasia or tiger airways whereby u need to pay for the drinks and the food onboard, BUT IT’S NOT!! So this is wat happened, the stewardess was happily pushing the cart past us n serving us, then I went and ask her how much is it per drink? She cudn’t hear wat I was sayin (either tat or she din think I was so stupid to be askin her tat) so I repeated then I dunno wat she heard and she lifted her finger saying 1 so I tot it was 1RMB and I was like whoah, so cheap? and when she served me, I handed her 1RMB and her exacts word was ‘ ni gan ma gei wo qian ah?’ à ‘ why on earth are u givin me money?’ hehe.. And somehow, I dunno what the other steward heard and she gave me a cup of ice!! Haha. Really funny la..
MORAL OF STORY-- dun be so stupid like me.. Hehe..
KunMing is 17°C when we arrived cz this place is on a mountain d. around 3000m above sea level I think.
Wandered around the KunMing airport after touchdown and begun looking for bus to the city, we didn’t know when to get off so we simply chose a stop that a lot of ppl are getting off. I was so happy to be on the bus cz there was a really hot chick sitting 2 seats from me. Hehe.. I tot it was like this all the way. Lots of hot chicks around. But I found out later tat it was not to be.. Soon we found ourselves to be famished so we stopped at a vegetarian buffet place to satisfy my sister’s appetite. We ordered a plate of chicken cooked wif bla bla bla.. Who cares, and the waitress clearly said it was for one and when it came, we were stunned to see a plate as big as a large pizza!!! FOR ONE MY HEAD!! I couldn’t finish I cz it was freaking spicy.
The thing about backpacking is that we don’t have any idea where we are goin to stay so we carried our 15kg backpack behind and another 5k bag in front walking around to look for a place to stay. We found ourselves in a youth hostel that night. I was delighted cz again there is a hot chick working there from Szechwan but my sis wasn’t as delighted as me for some reason I dunno y. we rented a bike and we cycled a pretty long distant to buy our train tickets to DaLi tml. The road system there is horrible!! Should I go like.. ‘ WHAT ROAD SYSTEM??’ nobody follows the signs!!
We heard bout a very nice bird market nearby so we tot of checkin it out. There I ate something like satay, but its mutton!! And its super delicious!! I ate another 6 more that day. Hehe. We returned the bikes and sister said she hasn’t had enough yet, so we went out again after a short rest. We came bk really late cz we had to walk very far cz the buses stopped their routes d.. haih..
Day 4
Again, we rushed in the morning to catch our train to Dali. At the end we had enough spare time to get some breakfast into our tummy.. It was an agonizing 8 hours ride. They have salesperson 
on board the train to make announcements. So hilarious la.. Wat an interesting profession. The sceneries are to die for where you have both traditional and modern buildings built on the hillsides. We got the horribly had seats which costs only 35RMB, according to lonely planet, they say that you can cut the smoke in there with a knife but it’s not as bad it they say it is.. They 
have a place where they boil water for ppl to use on the train and I wanted to take pics of it but there was this boiler man tats so fucking rude tat he din let me. But I still went bk at the end when he wasn’t watchin. Hehe.. Then there was this dude sittin in front of us tat kept staring at jie’s boobs, of course she felt uncomfortable but she had it coming, who asked her to wear spaghetti strap?? So I kept staring at that guy to make him uncomfortable in return. Haha. He is such a disgusting man. He blew his snot on the floor which nearly fell on someone’s feet!!
Once we got there, we found another youth hostel, we stayed with another girl from Holland. Very sweet. We rented a bike and went exploring. We stumbled upon a woman from a minority tribe and she was kind enough to bring us back to her house and chat with us.
I tried another of their delicacies (baby crabs and clam). But it wasn’t tat nice because they put some sort of spice in it to get rid of the ‘fresh’ smell. My sis accidentally ate a piece of meat and her tummy started aching after that. Sis was in a shopping mood so I tagged along to bargain for her and she said that I ROCK!! Haha.. On our way back I sang with one of the locals. Hehe..
Overall, Dali is a crowded and bustling place. They have night life here..
