The view on the bus ride from Lijiang to Dali.Looking out the window beats reading a book!
This is a chinese garbage truck... "Mike why would you take a picture of a chinese garbage truck?" well that's a very good question billy! I'll tell you... there is a story...Chinese garbage trucks play the same music that ice cream trucks play in Canada...
So my natural reaction to this music was to run to the truck...
In sadness I learned it was no ice cream truck... but a rotten garbage truck.
I relieved my sadness by buying a green bean Popsicle at the local grocery store :o)
note to foreigners in China: garbage trucks are misleading.
This is ANOTHER random kid I battled in Dali. Well we weren't really battling. We were just jumping around and stuff.. we were doing the running long jump but he was just wearing sandles so he kept hurting his feet.. ie: this picture.. hahaha sucker. I won again!!!
This picture is really funny looking. I'm not sure why...
Proud supporter of the Olympic games. Scruffy the dog.
After canoeing for about 30 minutes we got hungry. so as we approached another boat we learned that he was... COOKING FISH ... ON HIS BOAT!!! and so we ate... some of the best BBQ fish ever with mountainous backgrounds and sparkly lakes... ohh shiney!
Don't leave strawberries in your van. Flies infest. (and this picture only captures the flies on the CEILING, imagine how many were flying around me to take this picture.) but don't worry. I just opened my mouth and moved my head around. problem solved :o)
Lijiang food makes mikey (fill in blank)
Barf bag? or SARS horse? (you decide...)
Chinese pimp? or...? I don't know what else he could be.... (you decide?)
"Soo Yo Cha". HEAVEN in tea form. This is the best thing ever. ingredies;Tea with yak's milk butter/oil, nuts, cracked egg, heaven and tea. You haven't lived until you've tried this local specialty. I will miss this forever... this and green bean Popsicles.
The bugs of china.
Swish!

The snow mountain surrounded by... not snowy mountains... real? YES!!! crazy? that's what i'm trying to tell you!!! (@ Tiger Leaping Gorge, Lijiang)
Inspired by the words of jeff prosserman (aka my brother). funny because i was thinking this the whole trip so far and then I saw this sign. spooky.
Look they are ... hugging! (PG 13 censorship)
4506M and climbing. Jade snow mountain, Lijiang. taking a quick break to sip on some oxygen tank air so I don't pass out from breakdancing at an elevation where my head could implode.
Bboying on the snow mountain.
These guys were the guitar player and bongo drummer at a bar we went to. I think they saw me tapping the table while they were playing so they decided to let me play the bongos for about 4 songs. super fun times. mikey's shirt translation: "I heart china"
Eagle... BEFORE it tore my eyes out and ate the skin off my face. (joking...?)
Look it's kitten puppeteering!(No kittens were harmed in this puppet show... except the one in the picture... just kidding...?)
