Andrew&#8217;s too.  Got up and got ready to visit the Stone Forest.  By the time I made it to the bus stop, it was 11:15am, and the next bus would be at 11:30. I contemplated for a bit, and decided against going to the Stone Forest, as it was 2.5 hours away, and the last return bus to Kunming would be at 4.  It was also expensive, so I might save it for a return trip to Kunming &#8211; as I most likely have to head back this way on my way to Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2393\/2527819978_5f93ba065b.jpg\" class=\"flickrimg\" alt=\"IMG_7878\" \/>\n<p>Decided to head north through Kunming (I was at the Southern Bus terminal), making a few stops on my way to the lake.  Had some Across The Bridge Noodles, a Yunnan province specialty.  I was given about 10 plates with different things on them, then a bowl of noodles and a giant bowl of broth.

Stopping to read on occasion.  It seems very dry here compared to the humid south, so I headed to the Chinese Wal-mart, to get some lip balm.  Pretty much the same as our Wal-Mart, although poorly organized.  Wasn&#8217;t hit by any falling prices, thankfully.  I managed to find the checkouts and pay for my balm, then made my way back to the hostel to work on this journal, and upload some pictures.  &#8220;Into The Wild&#8221; was playing next to the computer lounge, so I watched a bit of that too.<\/p>\n<p>Bed seemed like a good idea, so I tried that next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gabriella&#8217;s Birthday!
