Vomiting From Indigestion



Kunming
Our breakfast was more of a brunch because we were very late or rather early in bed. We sat in a small restaurant right on the road (it was more of a large garage than a restaurant) and enjoyed all the food, while we planned our Kunming days. Unfortunately
fell from our first tour of the city trying as Bao Wei drove us to a friend who wanted to open a store at the time in a low-Mall. We were then used as a model for ugly Western, Chinese linen shirts and wasted plenty of time. Then we wanted to free ourselves from the woman, but what we also said, wanted to do with us. So we're finally that only through a department store and then to a restaurant. After it went to the bar, where the first evening we were already in Kunming. We had 1 1 / 2 bottles of vodka left over, which was strong reason to remain a long while there. This we did, a Meet the Locals at its best, where we were invited to all the tables, but only one of which was a very little English. It was funny anyway, and we spent the whole evening in the bar, where later a DJ and has opened now and then a couple of dancers have danced on the speakers. At the end (the good DJ was now gone), we then look at the Riesenbox oder5 with 4 people and are in full volume at the end of the day of German Unity (actually it was already over) singing the German national anthem - and the Chinese had also blast it.
Our second day in Kunming should be interesting, I thought. But it was first sleep at the most, what annoyed me quite. Then we went back for brunch, but this time with "Lijiang Brothers. The restaurant is a Chinese chain, famous for rice noodles in broth - to eat horrible: rods and slippery noodles. After this auserordentlichen breakfast / lunch we then Bao Wei strolled through the city because it costs us our plane tickets yet. Most in the group occasionally amused with the little niece of Wei Bao. The whole trip took a whole lot of time, as we have found the travel agent immediately. Back near our dorms, and Niels Julius had before, the idea to buy guitars for the train ride to enforce. So we spent about an hour in the guitar shop, as all guitars were played sample had ... back in the dorm was moved to short, because the dinner was imminent with Ms. Li. Ms. Li was the Chinese teacher by Damian last year and has organized the trip for us on almost everything: flights, hotels, way back. For us, the food was so a special thanks. Ms. Li himself was a little petite, older woman who already had older ideas. And Damian used the out forever to make little jokes. So it was a relaxed meal in a fine restaurant. After eating, we are still strolled through a park, whose name I have forgotten, only to go to a teahouse. It was relatively warm for the evening, so we sat outside. Slowly it was so quiet and tired, the tea was delicious and relaxing after the big meal for the stomach, but the evening was still young. Damian and I heated up the other to so again when we were back in the Dorm. And actually came back every 6 de guo ren 's with, although at the beginning of all home wanted to stay. With two taxis went into the already-known party area. However, we first had 3 different bars (discos gibts there I think only very little) to try until we finally decided on the second. The evening was quiet, the bar was not necessarily the best, but we wanted to round off just yet.
has the third and last day but then it worked out that we could look at the city. According to our plan to eat donuts (we have seen the day before a big donut shop), we drove to the next bus there - we thought. The bus left at the next crossing in the wrong direction and the next stop was back pretty far away. Well, we planned to quickly and went to a bakery, the re-sold almost entirely sweet. Thanks to God Damian knew so well, that he could guide us from there through a market in the city. The market, on which we have gone, but he was already a blast. There, you could probably buy anything you want. The most interesting, however, we found the turtles, lizards and other pets. Very funny was the gerbil that ran in her wheel and always above the highest point down was because the wheel has not turned. The downtown area was really crowded with Chinese. We looked at some shops and sat in between or in a cafe. A very pleasant day with no stress. On the way back We will be back on the market and almost everyone has yet bought a previously selected small thing. Since we had already packed the bags and almost going back. Ms. Li showed us a small local road, very cheap and tasty, accordingly, until we a Polizeivan - were taken to the station - Bao Wei's brother was a policeman or something.

38 hours traveling by train
evening at 8:45 clock started our train. Before the Lord policeman has governed us ever so that we can all sleep in the same compartment. When booking we have made the mistake of fact that we paid 6 lower beds we had were thus divided into 3 sections. But that was after the Policeman had since rumorganisiert no longer a problem throughout the journey. In the end, I think were all happy to have traded with us. Alone on the first night, we kept people awake until 3:30, after we first made all the beer stocks of the train is empty and wrote a little song about our holiday. It was very funny, we even have to log out from the beginning what I need to organize, but still. On nights
morning at 9 clock I was then awake, even though the bed was very comfortable. I have first down at our table and stood there for another 2-3 Pils lucky that we had not previously done in the evening. Damian, who was also awake, were my company and then after our first breakfast we considered first down again - which had thought the people on the train home ... Well, 2 hours later it was finally normal breakfast with a bunch of donuts, which we had bought the previous day in Kunming. There were also all now awake and were happy again. A small feeling low occurred the next morning, when everyone was a little tired. But then again everyone was awake and it was beautifully told, discussed and sung. Thanks to the new guitar we can always use a little music here and the Julius and play really well. Then we have a really cool Chinese met. Well, actually only half or a quarter Chinese. Winni is born in Hong Kong, but lived most of his time in Canada and studied in America. What is he doing now genach in Beijing, we do not know, but he has a quiet life. Winni definitely brought new life into our somewhat tired expanding sector. He was also musically inclined and took a few Chinese word, after we had only played a few classics. We sang a Chinese love song that probably everyone here knows us and sang in the hearts of the Chinese. Later we Winni left again, but said he'll be back. Shortly thereafter came to Rail (a friend of a friend of Damian, who is also in Beijing at the time) and asked us how often run out as actually to fetch more beer: all support is clear! The afternoon plätchelte down so they lay in again, looked out the window, as cans of pasta or just drank a mouthful, so we were never really boring, that the trip was unbearable now. Evening, then came back and Winnie brought two girls. So we made the right mood in the train and sang songs for so long, by then called on the operation of the train Winni and Co. to go to her compartment. The evening was not as long as the one before, even if I've met in the hall still a soldier from Beijing, which also was surprisingly good English.
The last morning was probably the worst day. They waited the whole time for the arrival, because we did not know exactly if we are late or too early. Also one had to drink tired, because you knew that the day is still long and do what is in the university again. Patiently, we arrived in Beijing and had then determined at the station half an hour west of waiting we get a taxi. At the station was so much going on that you had to put into a queue to get the next taxi - crazy. Finally at the university, we have played directly in football, what has been discussed already in train. A little game with the others, who also had a fun week in Seoul was behind him again really fit and was more funny than serious. Then it went to Pizzaria Qingqing (right under the cafeteria) and eventually the long-awaited shower.
