Seagulls in Kunming
The city of Kunming is known in China as the “Spring City”, attributed to it having pleasant weather all year round. Personally, I find it a bit hard to agree - I have been freezing my ass off for the past few days here. I will concede, however, that the weather here is currently much more pleasant than the weather in Siberia. Many seagulls seem to share these thoughts and every year, as winter approaches, migrate from Siberia to Kunming.
The seagulls hang out mainly near the lakes and are an attraction for tourists and locals alike. Next to each lake peddlars can be found selling bread to feed the pigeons, a popular pasttime activity.

Hi Ori, I am reding your blog for some time now and I enjoy it very
much. It is the first time I can read something about that strange
world which is China and is up-to-date, not polittically biased and
written by an Israeli whom I know. Keep it up; for people like me who
are too old to make that voyage it is interesting. Perhaps make a
book of it when you come home? All the best, Chaim

Dear Ori,
How are you? What are you doing in China these days?
Are you a nomad or have you based yourself somewhere?
I recall from my travelling experience that being too free was quite intimidating… I woke up and didn’t know where to go… hard to be with no aim…
Anyhow.. I’d love to hear more of your adventures, your feelings…
and don’t be so cheap on pictures
Love,
Natalie

Natali!
A bit too soon to say whether or not I have based myself somewhere… I’ll know better in a while, I guess. As to pictures - click on the “image gallery” link (on the left) for more pictures.
As for feelings, I think you’ll have to try and figure them out yourself from the posts…
