Sat 10 Nov 07 with Siam Society from Bangkok to Kunming. The first stop was at a chinese temple heavy with sight, sound, smoke and prayers. Out side by the street was another story of dashing street children trying to attract for your attention in hope of a few coins. Understandable but kind of hard to react for any new visitors. Dear boys and people, I would like to be your firends, give me time to adjust, alright!
After some walking around, found a more quiet corner and managed to get a glimps of the temple of my own perception: brush pen on water paper in a quick! With a color wash in hotel room later on, the below is the result.
Sun 11, we took a boat in Er Hai lake to a small fishing village.
A view of the courtyard in one of the temple in fishing village.
Then back to the local market in town to be part of their usual activities from flowers to chilies and more..
A traditional tea ceremony and display of Bai costume, whilte is the traditional color here.
great work
