今天主要是购物, 准备路上所需要的东西。我们买了自行车的备件,电子产品,鞋和袜子,我们从主办方领取了自行车,同时还领取了一些其他设备。
Today was mainly a shopping day to get the last few things for the trip. After finishing our shopping tour for bike equipment, electronics, shoes and some socks, we picked up our bike from the office of the organizers office. Arriving at the office, we got some more equipment, sponsored by banks, outdoor shops and other grateful companies.
整装待发,我们骑车回到宾馆,昆明夜晚的美丽宜人,春城名不虚传,令人留恋忘返。
Well equiped, we had our second bike ride, back to our hotel. Pleasant evening ride in the beautiful weather of kunming. Its called spring city it certainly you dont want to leave that place anymore.
2002年我在昆明居住过一年,当时昆明有300万人口,现在已增至570万,建筑物拔地而起,古老的昆明焕发出现代化的生机,名牌产品随处可见,但和其他城市一样,汽车太多,交通拥挤。
I was in Kunming in 2002 and lived here for 1 year. The city had 3 million citizen, now 5.7 and several new buildings grow from the ground. Old kunming changed to a modern small city with all the fashionable brands and too many cars.
今天早上我们去拜访了坐落在新区的缅甸使馆,那里高楼林立, 购物中心遍布,3年前却还是农田。
This morning we went to the Myanmar embassy, which is located at a new part of the city.Full pf high rise buildings and shopping malls, which was agriculture ground 3 years ago.
但这里有两件事依然如故,一是云南当地人的友好,还有可口的乳扇。乳扇是我最喜欢的云南小吃,是大理特产,炸山羊奶酪,口味独特,在别处吃不到的。和Lily, Aimee,Jessie三为好朋友一起吃得特别香。
But 2 things did not change.
The friendliness of the local people of YUNNAN and the wonderful taste fo rubin.
Rubin is my favorite Yunnan food, its fried yunnan goat cheese. very special taste and you only get it in Yunnan. And even better if you share it with your friends lily, aimee and Jessie.
购物的时候,我们看到一些Jin Fei Bao的海报,人们把他看作英雄,因为他追求梦想。我用手机晚上照的,图片质量不太好......虽然图片比较小,还是能看到Fei Bao穿着登山服,戴着大风镜。
While shopping today, we spotted several Advertising posts with Jin Fei Bao around the city.
He become a hero for some people around the globel, especially, as he is living his dreams.
Check out the image. Sorry for the quality, its shot with my iphone at night.
Even the image is small, but you can see Feibao at the advertising board with his alpine coat and the cool mountain glasses...
今天要结束了,我们说:“准备好了,明天出发”。
At the end of the day, we should say:
" We are prepared for sunday. "
凌晨两点入睡。
Bedtime 2 am.
