To Market

Yesterday Annalisa and I went to the Green Lake area of town. We took many more buses than necessary getting home, but on the plus side we saw more of Kunming. I had my hair cut while out, no mean feat considering the language barrier. Also, we found a DVD store and purchased the third and fourth seasons of Jeeves and Wooster. Best of all, we found bagels.
Today we took it easy. After a breakfast of eggs and bagel I read and studied Chinese. In the afternoon Annalisa and I went to the vegetable market in the neighborhood and picked up a few supplies. On the way back we saw a cute puppy battling a mop. The mop lost. Annalisa bought some purple flowers at a flower market for the apartment. The fragrance there was intoxicating, quite unlike the rest of the neighborhood. Annalisa cooked a nice dinner including mashed potatoes and chicken with peppers. We watched an episode of Jeeves and Wooster before turning in for the night.

  1. Puppies are amazing. Cute in any culture.

    Just none in my casserole if you please.

    Large tree fell on driveway. Next door people were nice enough to cut it up for me so I could get out. It'd have been an all day job for my little electric chainsaw.

    Good thing Josh and I speak fluent redneck.
