Shortwishing Well Sayings

Tag 134: Tag 134: Neujahr, Friseur & Reisepläne



New Year It is the 6th January 2011 and New Year I have survived without prejudice: but not surprising. It is in fact nothing was going on. Nothing, absolutely nothing. In China, apparently no one celebrates New Year's Eve. It's funny that invented the country where the black powder and is famous for firecrackers on New Year's Eve not heard a single blast was. As if it were an x-any evening in April. Somehow bad ... for it - so I was several pages, the word "war zone" reported use - is to leave here for the Spring Festival the right post. Well let's see ... This year is the Spring Festival on the 3rd February, when I'm not mistaken. celebrated New Year's so I'm just as Christmas
've only briefly with Tik & Mhuey exchanged New Year greetings. There is to this "event" did no photographic evidence (of which even?), Left here a photo that has taken my sister at home in Leipzig. Directly behind our house. Is not it beautiful? :)
Hairdressers


since I was in China I'm still not at the hairdresser, but my hair is naturally also getting longer. I usually go only when they are really annoying and I always hang out in the face. Just like this time What is more, I have not taken a really trust the Chinese hairdressing and there was so skeptical. In our favorite eating mile, 圆 西路 (Yuánxīlù) , there's also three barber shops, all strangely served by men (but seems to be quite normal in China). I've got a showing, say, as I wanted to have it (Containing only shorter, and the sides a little less), feared and hoped. Without glasses, I also do not see, what do the people there with me. Otherwise, the procedure was quite similar as well as at home: wash in front, then cut. Surprisingly, then wash again, and then blow-dry. About the result I was surprised it looked good, better than I's get in Germany so far, the time was about the same (just a little longer by further washing), the price: 12 € I paid in Leipzig usually including student discount. Here in Kunming's were 10 ¥ (equivalent to € 1.15), less than a tenth. Wow! I think it would have can be a bit shorter, but with the result (see left) I am very satisfied. Tik and Mhuey that matter. :)
travel plans
And now the big surprise ...
I'm going to Thailand!


... and indeed tomorrow. With Tik. :) The plan is as follows: Tik and I are going tomorrow afternoon / evening from Kunming wrong with a coach, along with another Thai woman called from here Foam (who calls his child "foam") and their 4? Friends of the Nachbaruni. This is a sleeping bus because the ride will last about 12 hours, This is very cheap but: I paid 306 yen (about 35 €). The stations of the journey will be whole:


1) 昆明 (Kunming)
: Click here 's going on at 18:00, with the Sleeper. This seems generally to be a rather ordinary long-distance transport in Southeast Asia and China. The journey takes about 12 hours to ... 2) 西双版纳 (Xīshuāngbǎnná) : arrival date tomorrow morning at 6:00, for instance, there is a friend of Foam invited and at the border to buy me the visa for Laos. For Thailand, you do not need (it gets a hot Stamp in the passport and is good '), but even for Laos. This costs about $ 40, I have exchanged a while ago from Tip (Guys girlfriend)).
3) ຫລວງ ນໍ້າທາ (Luang Namtha) : I think through this Lao town it goes through, and then just take the bus to Thailand. The roads will probably be very rich serpentine, Guy has already warned me. Bad I need a Laosvisum, because even though I only travel ... Laos is, after all the guilt that it must lie precisely between Thailand and China!
4) เชียงราย (Chiang Rai) : first stop in Thailand: here, met with Guy and tip, and possibly a bit rumgefahren. Where, we are not as clear ... Let's see the two coming by car. :)
5) เชียงใหม่ (Chiang Mai) : Tik and I might stay there for 3 or 4 days, there it is ment to be very pretty, scenic, there is also a zoo with pandas. Oh, and located in northern Thailand, and that figure will probably still 30 ° C and more to be there. Uff ... Sunburn in January!
6) กำแพงเพชร (Kamphaeng Phet) : grandma lives there Tiks mother's side, yet also her aunt and several other family members. It should be possible to live there for several days. Tik but says there's is pretty boring because Kamphaeng Phet is a 100,000-strong village level. Supposedly can drive motorcycle but Tik - The yearning I want! : D
7) ชลบุรี (Chonburi) : is where the
University of Tik, Mhuey and pretty much all other Thais here. In addition, there lives one of the few Esperanto speakers in Thailand, which are Pasporta Servo mentioned - I have requested; it works: we can live there for 2, 3 days in his house. The man himself, Mark S., Australian, Thai and has a house with his wife, their son and a few others. Chonburi is the way to the sea. I will take lots of photos. *-* 8) กรุงเทพฯ (Krung Thep) : better known as the Bangkok
(and yes, I'm just starting the full name by heart), the capital of Thailand!. Here I'll 1, 2 or 3 days to spend without Tik, which goes to her parents in Chachoengsao. But that is not bad because there Mhuey, Noom and his brother Nuke (Thai nickname, well ...) live. I can probably stay there in the next room of the latter two, to just watch them and let it show Bangkok. Eventually, 20 probably as to the January creating all around me (including statistics) to the airport and put me back in the plane to Kunming, the cost would probably almost 2200 yuan proud ... uff. Well. Sun described briefly. I do not know how it looks like this in Thailand with the Internet, but I hope that I one probably. from each city (except for the first few) a record will be able to write (I think less). Mhuey is actually already in Thailand, describing the climate there as "damn hot" (ร้อน ฉิบหาย, spr.: [rɔ̀ːn ʨʰìp hǎːj]</a>). Na da... :)
