There are street food everywhere. Every morning they are lighting up the coals to start the fires to make whatever they make. The 'bao' makers are big business. This is a small scale operation. In the city of Kunming, it is big business, just like we make hamburgers, they make 'bao'.
There are Buddhist temples everywhere. I'm always intrigued by their flying eaves, so beautiful and so ornate.
I saw little village children playing in abandoned courtyards, so happy and oblivious of the outside world.
Join me on this trip as I enjoyed kebabs made by a 'Hui' couple or slurp noodles with my compatriots in China.
Join me as I sample some of the many teas of China.
I'm buying some "Pu'er" tea and the tea seller is making it as I and my taxi driver waits to sample it. He demonstrated the proper way of making Chinese black tea.
This was my cup of tea. I'm more of a drinker of red tea than the Chinese black or green tea. it tasted really good, very smooth, no bitter after taste.
I saw a lot of these endearing mud houses though they are rapidly being replaced by new and ugly concrete buildings.

I saw a few of the many different minorities of China and they are some of the loveliest people. The Han Chinese have been very friendly and helpful when they can understand my mandarin. I only speak some survival Mandarin but I managed. It's been a very educational trip and I look forward to my next and longer trip to China.
