You have let your artistic eyes wax lyrical on the blog as opposed to in photographic format - well done! Shame that the old towns are being erased in China as they are in other countries - almost as though the lust for modern architecture and modernised lifestyles are vastly improved upon some of the qualities which the older buildings and lifestyles could present to us today. I guess it's necessary but I feel that in this lust for new things we fail to learn from what our forefathers knew. I hope that this time in Kunming is helping you to get over your horrible bout of flu and residual exhuastion and that you are starting to feel much better in body, mind and soul. Forgive my hippy sounding mood Darryn, I'm still mellowed out from my holiday...

Shame that the old towns are being erased in China as they are in other countries – almost as though the lust for modern architecture and modernised lifestyles are vastly improved upon some of the qualities which the older buildings and lifestyles could present to us today. I guess it’s necessary but I feel that in this lust for new things we fail to learn from what our forefathers knew.

I hope that this time in Kunming is helping you to get over your horrible bout of flu and residual exhuastion and that you are starting to feel much better in body, mind and soul. Forgive my hippy sounding mood Darryn, I’m still mellowed out from my holiday…
