A tearful departure...

Not really,no tears. But it was sad leaving Wade. I NEVER would have had the amazing experiences in China if it weren't for Wade. Not only was he a lot of fun, at times bitchy, and a great planner (except when hungover, then he's useless) but his Chinese linguistic skills paved the way for a much easier and rich time in China.

I was off to Kunming, yes again, to get my stuff and prepare for Shangai. I booked myself into the same hotel and knew better when they tried to rip me off and have me pay more. I successfully got my rate from before! I was only staying one night as I was anxious to see Shangai!

I was especially ready to leave when I randomly bumped into Chris, Lorraine (but I did have a delightful lunch with her thai side kick translater) and the Swiss guy all within a few hours... once again this place was too small for my taste and I was off!
