Just went to the IT Show last week. Actually, I'm quite confused with the play on words. PC or IT show?? I also not too sure myself.
As for what I bought, I kinda like it, though i don't really have any special feelings for it. The iPod Touch!!!
Somehow i do love the slider technology, damn cool. Jenny bought the alternative-made iPhone Mini...rather cool, can watch TV somemore.
Work today was really er rush hour. I actually planned for a list of things to be done today, but weird enough, so many stuff popped out, I didn't really had time to get down to my list. Damn shagged, I actually planned not to on the computer, since my eyes are already googled out from staring at the screen too much. But gotta get some things done here, bo bian.

To the Province of Yunnan (280509-040609)
Yunnan-Dali
Just touched down awhile ago at the airport in Kuming, met Aunt Irene and Francis there. Francis
thought that Uncle Gilbert was an old man due to his greying hair, so automatically took his luggage
from him. Took us 5 hours by minivan to reach Dali. Super long journey and my leg really cramped up.
Upon reaching, we met Jane,Aunt Irene's friend who helped us to reach our lodgings, then we headed off for dinner
in a xijiang restaurant. the mutton leg cost just nine bucks!! woohoo! On the third day, the day looked really
gloomy indeed. No sign of the rain stopping at all. But luckily, there were some nice things that happened.
- I found exotic food. - Yak Meat, Eel Sweet and Sour Soup, Naan Bread, Cheese bread
- I bought the fabled local produce - Taxidermised Butterflies, Pu-er tea, Yunnan Coffee
- I didn't get the marble and jade though, cos i didn't seem to have any uses whatsoever for it.
- I think I might want to go ahead and grab some of the local batik tomorrow.
- I went for a $9 massage run by the local hearing and speech impaired. It was great help to me, but I can't say it was painless.
- I met various people of the chinese minority, got to learn their culture as well as recording down the singing sessions.
Yunnan- LiJiang
Reached Li Jiang after a 4 hour ride via bus from Dali. Missed some really nice scenic views on the mountain route, reason cause
my camera was in my bag, but in the end I managed to get some nice shots on the way down the mountains. Amazing thing though,
was that that China Army appeared to be having a military exercise of sorts on top the mountain we were passing through! Saw a few
covered tanks and alot of logistics vehicles. saw a grunt busy brushing his teeth by the roadside.
Lijiang's produce were really similar to that of Dali, reason being part of Yunnan. However, I was really enchanted by the batik designs of the
Dongba culture of the Naxi tribe. This trip in Li-jiang was neither happy nor sad, sad in the understanding of endless
unhappiness, happy that I got to know so much more culture ideas. Went to check out the night scene in the old town, was filled
with the local women in traditional dress promoting their bars. Boring shit....even the seventh month getai is
way more interesting. Pray that Kunming would be more interesting. Oh yeah, after the massage in dali, my lower back seems to be permanently
stiffen up.
- I found exotic food - Yak Milk, Dragonfly, Worms, Bees, Sichuan cake
- I bought the fabled local produce - batik fridge stickers, display sets, yummy sweets
- I got sichuan fish - but boy, it really sucked.
Yunnan - Kunming
Took a 45 airplane ride to Kunming. Was surprised that the trip from lijiang took longer than the
plane ride from the airport to Kunming city. If I were to come back on my own to China, I would
definitely give Kunming a miss. Nothing to buy, nothing to see. Just pure boliao city life,
the city just super dusty, if not for the rainy weather today. I'm supposed to be going to visit
the Stone Forest and some riverboat tour in the rain tomorrow. Seriously, I don't feel like going
given the options and things that have happened. This is really the first trip that I seriously yearn to
be back home enjoying my leave with my girlfriend. I'm reaching my limit here soon. Surprisingly enough, the stone forest was pretty interesting, got alot of scenic photoshots from there.
"Will be posting the pics up in awhile..2000+ photos."
