Our Holiday -- Yunnan 2005

Lovely, lovely, scenery and company.

This is my sister. 9 years old already. I still remember folding her cloth diapers for her when she was a baby. Now she's in Primary 4 and can make her own instant noodles. She also remembers to buy a tiny curry puff for me from her school canteen each day. How sweet.

In Kunming, we visited the Shi Lin (Stone Forest) and Jiu Xiang (a limestone cave). I think the number of photos taken at the beginning of the trip was much higher than towards the end. Especially the first day... haha my brother was so trigger happy.

This is the Stone Forest, with its stunning rock formations: Clockwise -- Dragon's teeth, Mouse eating a block of cheese, Tortoise, Phoenix cleaning its feathers, Dangerous overhanging rocks, 2 lions.

This is where Sun WuKong was filmed emerging from the rocks.

Profiles. Trigger happy.

Nice to take photo of, but not nice to sleep on

Took a few tries to get the pose right. We were trying to get our dad to look a bit more serious and our mum to look a bit more scared.

My sister and my brother

Pretty pictures of everyday things. Peanuts, Pumpkins, Old blocks of tea, Eggshells (according to my mother, the egg shells are difficult to peel off cleanly if the eggs are very fresh), Teapots, Tea leaves.This is Jiu Xiang, the limestone cave. I think it would have been a lot nicer without the touristy neon lights. There were pink blue green purple yellow orange lights all over, plus lots of vendors offering to take your photos for a price. I get quite annoyed when they harrass us, but well, can understand also lah.. its their livelihood.

See what I mean by multi colored lights?

Ok tired already. Continue next time
