Kunming: Finally here!

We arrive 1430h at Kunming International Airport via Bangkok...

On the way to our accomadation for the night in a mini-van after being received by Mr Abraham Xu. Observe the glee faces filled with anticipation..! :D

Was pleasantly surprised to find Kunming quite a modern city not unlike Singapore...

Big colourful billboards

Broad efficient highways

Settling down and making ourselves at home in the cosy living room

A well-equipped little kitchenette

We have a water heater and washing machine too! Thank God for the little conveniences and comforts... :)

After unpacking, we decide to go exploring around the area in the evening and came across a lovely park with wide open spaces...

碧鸡公园 - i.e. Jade Chicken Park, with the featured sculpture in the background.

Typical wet market

Spices for sale
