KUNMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I definitely lied about the two post.  Internet in China is sometimes sketchy, and I got angry with it which is why there was only one post.  Sorry!  So this is probably going to be one reaaaaalllllllyyyyyyyy loooooooooonnnnnnnggggggggg post.

Ok, so Kunming....

How much do I love Kunming?

A LOT!!!!

The weather, the people, and the places is just awesome! I know for sure I picked the right place to study abroad.  Megan and I arrived in a bright and sunny Kunming, which was a relief, cause the two times I've landed into a Chinese city this trip, it's been raining.  We did, however, encountered the longest line in my life.  Everyone apparently wanted a taxi.



Despite the wait, Megan and I was super excited about being in Kunming.  The kids in the program are pretty awesome too.  I think after the 4 months are over, I'll definitely keep in touch with them.  Oh and my roommate...she's pretty much the best person ever.  My roommate name is Xiao Hongyu (or Helena) and is Hui zu (which is a Chinese minority aka she's Muslim).  She absolutely adorable and LOVES South Park.  WIN!!!!!!



Landing into Kunming, I actually haven't done much.  We had like 5 days of orientation...can we say ridiculous?  But we did get to go to an organic farm, which was actually kinda cool.  Here are some pictures from the farm.


Plants on the farm.



More plants




Megan, Li Ming (Ryan's old roommate), and myself



Yeah, just more plants....but these are red!  hahaa


We also took a weekend trip to Fuxian Hu, which is about 2 hours away from Kunming.  It's the cleanest lake in this area of China aka you can actually swim in it.  I did not swim in it, however, although I did go into the water...just not swim.  It was a really fun and relaxing weekend.  That Friday night was a lot of fun.  Why was it a lot of fun you might ask.  One word, three letter: KTV.  Probably one of the best things mankind has ever created.  hahaha.


On the streets in Fuxian Hu!



Fuxian Hu!



Megan and I!




Sam, Taylor, Jessica, Nick, and I



Who doesn't like a little KTV in their life?


So far everything is going really well in Kunming.  I think I'll probably end up gaining weight instead of losing weight, which will be the first time ever that has happened.  Kunming's food is ridiculously good, and there are like 15 珍珠奶茶 (bubble tea) stores nearby.  I can't help myself.

Alright, so here's the end of this post.  I'll try to post up pictures of my trip to 黑井, which is like the awesome place where there is stuff and like people do stuff and like they have stuff.  You know...like stuff.  hahaha.  Just kidding.  But I'll post soon about that.  Until then!
