We spent two days exploring Kunming while waiting for the Vietnamese Consulate to issue our visas. We guess we walked about 10 miles in 2 days. Li’s legs are burly. Yesterday we fed birds and fish, today we fed rabbits. We are trying to avoid any animals that could be rabies carriers.
Being in a bigger city really makes us appreciate how peaceful life is in Lijiang. Driving, or more accurately being driven is unbelievably hazardous. We witnessed our first traffic fatality today. It is surprising we haven’t seen more. It’s not clear what the rules of the road are, but the bus drivers certainly abide by the “might is right” theory. There are usually only inches between cars, buses, bicycles, motor scooters and pedestrians. It’s not clear that there really is a “safer” form of transportation. Off to Xiamen tomorrow.
