Head in the clouds

A casual observer of three culture fish might wonder at the many-monthed posting gap that lies between February and September. But the more discerning eye will notice that these months ocurred while I was living in Suzhou.

No offense to Suzhou. It's just not a city that generates many comments. The occasional monsoon downpour, perhaps, or another failed Western restaurant and what went wrong. But for a truly successful blogger to blog he needs material.

Enter the city of Kunming. Situated in the heart of Yunnan, the fabeld land of the southern clouds, Kunming represents one of the most diverse and unique places of interest China can muster. After only a few days of doing what a Kunminger would consider doing nothing, I have already been exposed to a cacophony of fascinations that may take years to record.
