traditional way of smoking in CHina 

He made me a butterfly... i requested for it. It took him less than 30 seconds to produce it. 

He made a dragon for Yaumil 

US, with the master... he made all of us a little something for as little as 1 yuen each... that is probably like 20 cents or something 

this is the room where we had our forum. its a big room... but because the temperature outside was 18 degress celcius.. they decided to switch off the air-con. I was sitting IN FRONT! I was boiling and almost fainted! 

a unique lion dance exhibited for us... different from the ones i saw in Brunei.. and more artful and skillful 

on the way to the mountains, these ethenic chinese lined up the first few meters... they are gorgeous 

these two ladies behind me are 100 and 105 years old. They never got married. they curahkan theri life to the art of music 

something like this picture made the second page of Yuxi Daily news paper.. i brought it home as souvineer 

this is the park we went to.... 

One of the arches of gateway to the top of the mountain... i was sooooo tired by the time i reached the top... 

This tree is about 500 hundred years old... it spewed honey and the ants eat it away... that is why the bark is uniquely shaped 

this seat is supposed to add 100 years to your life.... I should not have sat on it... but i was too tired.... good trick 

I've climed a mountain to see this and many more... I was too exhausted to take pictures... but because this reminded me of CERITA CINA.. i just had to take a picture... 

We were singing in the bus... all the countries of ASEAN had to sing.... except Malaysia... Spoils sport! 

This is the rich part of Yuxi Xity 

This is the Bruneian team... crazy as always :) I like this team, despited flaws :) less stressful 

One of the interesting stories to tell about china is the toilet. and this is me in the toilet, standing... after doing my bussiness... with another lady next door... he he he he... if you understand "maksiat mata" that is what i am exposed to ;P 

The school children also lined up the street where we were walking down... it reminded me of Brunei ;) 

This is a Minority Chinese from one of the tribe from the mountains. again... a line of boys from this tribe lined up the street to the garden
