We finally made it to Kunming as some of you have wondered why we have left out the capital of Yunnan province. Now we are here for a few days. We found this city to be very big although we expected it to be rather small (not sure why we thought that). However, we are here and we are staying quiet central. Still, we do want to go to the Old Street and the Green Lake park which are two of the most touristy places in the city - I know, we are normally not so much after touristy places. But still, this is pretty cool indeed. Please watch to the end to see the surprise. We are happy to be able to make this travel vlog, in a few days, everything will change big time. We will be heading to the Wild West I can already say...

After a hearty breakfast of 16 boiled eggs, they head to the historic Old Street and Green Lake Park via the spotless, punctual metro.

No, those animals like snakes, frogs, axolotls and weasels are sold as pets, not food.

Not always. The machines didn't work for me, but a local lady helped me buy tickets via Alipay. Children rode for free.
