Kunming

Hello all!

Safely arrived in Kunming which is yet too rain so far! It is a really cool city with a lake right next to the hotel and in traditional chinese style so many fairy lights I could almost gag!

Everybody is so much fun, the Australians are sweet fun and Casey is really chillaxed cool! Last night we had dinner with the whole group and then went out for what turned out to be a PAAAAARTY! Charlie you'd be proud of me, although it is going to be awfully difficult to burn all my money seeing as the massive massive bottles of beer are less than a dollar. Oh yes I drink beer now which is a little bit fun! But all in all a fabulous night. The downside was loosing the one key to our room and sleeping on the floor in anothers! But it turns out that the beds are pretty much like that at any rate.

I'm on my lunch break now from the course which turns out to be pretty boring really! The course is really when the jetlag catches up on me. We went to an amazing dumpling place for luch which even with my distrust of the slippery suckers turned out to be deliciously devine.

Everything is going really really well, I totally happy! Prob wont be able to skype until Yiwu though.

Takeaway dinner by the lake this evening, fol;lowed by some well needed sleep. Love to all xx Kate

Glad it is all going well, and the Gappers are all fun. Especially pleased that Casey is cool!
It sounds as though it's a good place, and you're getting into the swing of it all pretty quickly.
I hope you get a good night's sleep to sort out that jet lag.
Go easy on the beer!
Lots of love, Mum xxx

Hang in there w the boring course.

hey katey, looks like fun! i'm glad the australians are fun, cause you know, it's touch and go with that lot.

i've heard about those giant cheap beers. my friend tom over there says they cost around 50cents. amazing.

i can't believe i'm coming to china in 2 weeks! and i won't get to see you! so close, and yet so far.

good luck on the rest of your course. can't wait to hear more.

Brilliant stuff Katie. Excited to think I am off to see you in 7 sleeps. Don't forget to make a list of anything forgotten although the video man who wrote to me about the 37 day overdue DVD's [Batman etc] said you couldn't have them.
Have a good time and hear from you soon. love Gxxx
