Travel Guide

On a Sunday afternoon when the teeming millions in Kunming are fighting for parking spots and a table for lunch, a mere 10 minutes up the mountain, I find a scene straight out of Dickens. What exactly this place's intended function was is uncertain to me. I am sure it was an important part in Kunming's economic system. It probably took materials from the ground and made shiny strong blocks which built buildings much like itself that is now turning into the same materials it started with. What a sometimes strange world we live in.
I have always loved just wandering around. There is something so freeing about this and it almost always leads to interesting experiences and a chance to view real, if not overly beautiful places. This is on a road heading up 长虫山(ChangChong Shan) - Snake Mountain. There is a more accessible road opposite HongYun Road which I will post later. That route is also the one to take if you want to bike up the mountain. I am not sure if people are living here or just doing work here (there is some farming and they are building an ecological park half-way up the mountain), but it has this I have been forgotten but I am still surviving feel about the place.

Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion. - Jim Rohn I have many Chinese students who, because I teach them one to one and have forged a relationship with them, tell me a great deal about their personal life. One of the things I have learned is that Middle School and University students spend time, during grade 7, 10 and their freshman year in university, training in the military. Personally, I would hate it and don't ascribe to its practice. However, as an observer of political economy and nation states, I must admit that it is of incredible benefit. China has a vibrance to it and it owes this in part to the level of discipline that exists throughout its society. On the contrary, in the US, there is a malaise that runs deep within its core. It is rotting from the inside out. Everywhere, you here the cry of how great America is, an affirmation without any discipline. It is a profound self-delusion and it is about to bite us all squarely on the ass.
