Kunming

Arriving in Kunming at the early hour, to a pleasantly cool climate was a nice change from Bloody hot! Ed and I caught a taxi, after much nodding and gesturing, to the backpacker area. We came apon Camilia Hotel which bosts one of the best dorms around. When we arrived in the lobby we were greeted by a very unfriendly arse of a man. This had us turning on our heels and heading for another suggested place from the Lonely Planet. (Now here I have to tell you, I'm off the LP conveyer belt and am using a "Let's Go" instead)
Great suggestion again Loney! (HA!)
This place was Ok and I just mean, Ok. The Chinese have an oversion to cleaning and I mean just basic cleaning, not up to the elbow scrubbing or anything, of Toilets. So this place was bearable. Defiant we were of little angry man and checked in to the less than glam, City Cafe Hotel. We eventually came to our senses and booked in to Camilia for the next day. I was affraid I was going to fall in to the squat Loo, whilst having a shower and cause myself injury. Camelia was a breath of fresh air and clean Loo's to boot! Anyway...Let me regress.
Kunming was beautiful City (a bit smoggy but hey) and everyone buzzes around, silently, on electric scooters. The people are fashionable and have a bit of Tokyo Style about them. Ed and I spent the good part of 3 days wondering the city. This is where we came across Joe Tiger,
