Kunming and Holey Pants
April 4th, 2008
last week, Martian and i made a really unexpected trip to Yunnan, China for easter weekend. one day he just asked me, ‘do you want to go somewhere really really cold?’ and i said yesyesyes with mucho excitement, and that was that. a few days later, we were freezing our butts off in the mountains of Ringha :\ ‘really really cold’ is a description of much deception.
on our way to Ringha, we transited for a night through Kunming, which is about an hour away from Ringha by flight. Kunming is the capital of Yunnan, situated on an elevated plateau, with a pleasant temperate climate all year round and like most of China, very rich in history.
it’s a lovely city with clear blue skies, crisp air and friendly rosy-cheeked locals. good smoky smells of street meat on skewers fill the air and one has to constantly avoid being run over by bicycles or gutsy ladies who try to cut your queue ;) kiasuness notwithstanding, the locals are very friendly even if a little bit shy at first.
we only got to explore Kunming for a day before we had to head to the airport at 5 in the morning the next day. so even though Kunming is home to the Stone Forest - what looks like a really magnificent cluster of sharp stone formations, about 90 kilometers away from the city and a UNESCO heritage site - we didn’t get to travel to the outskirts to marvel at ‘em rocks. we mostly stuck around the city drinking lots of this Chinese tea that Martian really likes - it’s called pu er - and poking around nooks and corners, all while trying to get by with our embarrassing grasp of the Chinese language. Martian is a lot better at it than me though. he conveyed to this one cabbie in marvelous Chinese, with perfect intonation and twist of the tongue, that we needed him to go a little faster because i, the girlfriend who needed the bathroom quite urgently, was very ‘beh tahan’. yah. i really love my boyfriend sometimes.
here are pictures from Kunming, and there are many, but regretfully they have to be kept to a minimum because my host is stingy with bandwidth and i am SWITCHING HOSTS SOON, so until then, it’s going to be less than 30 pictures per post :\ the cruelty.
#1 lots of people cycle in Kunming - university students, working men who wear their briefcases on their backs, mothers who carry their kids in a basket at the front of their bike.
#2 us stopping for lunch at a little noodle shop in Kunming. delicious stuff :) more on Kunming food in a new post.
#3 at the Flower and Bird Market, where there are lots of birds, fishes and other random pets being sold. give you 1 buck if you can guess what that red mess is in front of the lady :\ they were quite the bestseller, with lots of stalls proudly displaying them
#4 this woman just took the pot from the noodle shop we were at, scooped some water out of their tank, and washed her kids’ hands. then she nodded at the shop-owner, the shop-owner nodded back, and that was that. such neighbourliness! and such cute kids!
#5 Martian disturbing a kid who was having a lot of fun playing by himself on this statuary. it was quite an emotional one. in there is a statue of a man holding a gun and also a little girl close to his chest, and the little girl had bronze tears coming out of her bronze eyes
#6 birds at the Bird and Flower Market
#7 cross-stitching is like the fad with the girls manning the stalls at the market. everyone was doing it and totally ignoring customers like us who were interested in purchasing beetles and dwarf hamsters :\
#8 smartly-dressed man selling tempting-looking strawberries
#9 one of those old sewing machines, used by a tailor who operates her business right off the street. it was so cool. my grandmother used to have one of those; i grew up amongst the sounds of that foot-pedal being pushed back and forth and the rapid mechanical tak-tak-tak-tak of the machine pushing thread into cloth
#10 at crossroads
#11 walking to Cui Hu Park
#12 this is Cui Hu Park, a huge park in the middle of the city where locals retreat to for a quiet evening feeding birds or a round of tai chi in the mornings. lots of lovebirds on benches like that one. Martian and i felt so at home!
#13 before this day, i had NEVER seen one of those bags on sticks, except in cartoons and storybooks when i was little. yknow, the bag of stuff that characters take with them when they’re running away from a wicked stepmother or when the hunter needs to go out to the forest to chop firewood?? the Enid Blyton books used to call them knapsacks… are they really called knapsacks?
#14 cherry blossoms at the park
#15 me being bored while Martian pored over the history behind why Cui Hu Park attracts so many gulls and birds :P conversation: “wow baby this is so interesting!!!!!”; “yes baby can we go play with the ducks now”
#16 DUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *HAPPY
#17 me being very impressed by the baby watermelons and baby mangoes. they were SO SMALL! but tasted SO GOOD! we bought some back even though the fruit peddler ripped us off, as is always the case when it’s Martian on the buy-side. hehehehe *runs away
#18 this is Chinese Lee Meng… hahahahahaha
#19 men playing cards or a checkers-like game on the streets is a common sight. i suppose in a country where half of the Internet is blocked, one must turn to the cards for some honest entertainment :\
#20 us shopping at a little grocery store near the hotel. Martian bought these instant noodles that were really really good in the unrelenting cold of Ringha. it irritates me how he always successfully picks all the really nice food, and then he doesn’t let me forget it when i say i wanna have some. “oh, nowwwwwww you want some” -___-
after our Ringha trip, we came back to Kunming for a few hours to catch our flight back to KL. we mostly hung out at this flower market and some nearby streets:
#21 lots and lots and lots of baby’s breath at the flower market
#22 lilies. the flowers here are SO CHEAP. we once did this flower project for Valentines’ Day, and i remember how happy i was to find a supplier who sold us 24 stalks of roses for RM 18. yeah well here in Kunming it’s 24 stalks of roses for RM 5. *depressed*
#23 really big cacti
#24 a dragon flower arrangement on a hearse. it was interestingly morbid. morbidly interesting?
#25 streetside stall selling fishballs. i wanted to eat but Martian don’t let :(
#26 lots of snooker tables in the alleys of Kunming, where men gather around for a game and some smokes
#27 me posing in front of a place that looked so funnily gangster! all the people milling around it looked very gangsterly too. but they ungangsterly allowed lil ol me to mock them with a ladypose. actually i wasnt ladyposing… i was trying to look ruffian. see the imaginary cigarette? :\
#28 i leave you with a final picture of several kids playing by the road. note the little hoodied boy sandwiched on the kiddie-sized automobile - he had a big hole cut out in the seat of his pants. this seems to be a popular local fashion trend among the kids!!! and with such practicality too; instead of wasting the precious seconds it takes for the tyke to search for a bathroom and pull down his pants, all he has to do is squat by the side of the road, and voila! bowel movement at its most convenient! :D
i really liked Kunming. there’s not much to do there, really, but i’m beginning to realize that i have strange affinity towards cities that are covered with graffiti. it must be the vandal in me :D
pictures of Ringha soon :)

2. Michelle | April 4th, 2008 at 5:41 am
America is so far away from Australia.
T_T
Will miss you Pau.
3. Jeff from LA | April 4th, 2008 at 5:55 am
So you don’t speak Chinese, Pinkpau? For some reason, I always thought you did. Then do you mainly just use English?
You’re also smart to get as much traveling done in Asia while you can, because it will be a lot more expensive to head back when you get out here.
I also think its funny that you’re going to be living in a cold place now (Pennsylvania), after having grown up in Malaysia. However, I hear there are a lot of Asians at UPenn, so I’m sure you won’t have a problem adjusting.
4. sieutheng | April 4th, 2008 at 7:30 am
ok i din finish reading the post becos i’m late for class (surprise!) but i want to guess wat the red mess is.
issit pig/duck’s coagulated blood!? ppl eat them here in msia :\
5. sha | April 4th, 2008 at 8:06 am

6. sheon | April 4th, 2008 at 9:06 am

whats chinese Lee meng?
so martian is the typical guy that buys a 1dollar thing he needs for 2dollar……..and you are the one that buys a 2dollar thing that you dun really need at 1dollar?
when you leaving for the states again ah???
7. iamdoryfish | April 4th, 2008 at 10:17 am
is that pig coagulated blood? or dog??? eeewwwwwwwwwwwww
:(
8. lulu | April 4th, 2008 at 10:28 am
i oredy wanna tell u abt tat pant in the hole thing at picture #4….

9. vvens | April 4th, 2008 at 11:17 am
cherry blossom! you get to see them!! wee. i like picture #6 anyway. hehehe. and and and i’ve not seen ppl playing snooker outdoor like this before. haha.
10. reallybites | April 4th, 2008 at 11:24 am
pet food haha
11. sheon | April 4th, 2008 at 11:53 am
my theory on the holey pants is this : since that place is sooo chilly…they dont want to risk their rosy-butt cheeks to frost-bite. Lo and behold , the holey-pants idea is derived!! Since the invention, all kunming kids can shit in their cosy pants in peace.
then hor?…what if they forgot to open up the flap before shitting?.. heheheh……
12. nyrac | April 4th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
i’ve always wanted to go travel around like that in china. i guess i’d be a mixture of both you and martian, me wanting to look at all the historical stuff and also me taking a lot of pictures and wanting to eat everything, hehe.
so when are you leaving for the states?
13. cyan | April 4th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
I think the red mess is pig or chicken blood.
Are you sure in the statue the men are holding guns? look more like firemen rather than soldiers. Maybe they are holding flamethrowers with gas tanks?
14. stylomilo | April 4th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
damn random question, but i love your bag! where’d you get it from? =)
15. olivia | April 4th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
all hail us bananas :S
16. vialentino | April 4th, 2008 at 4:17 pm

17. miss p | April 4th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
ew that red thingy in #3 must be worms, those thin worms ew ew ew ew ew ew.
kunming looks like a nice place to go! :) might go there someday.

18. LogicYuan | April 4th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
when i went to Kunming, i was brought only to tourist spots..never spectated these scenes of life
19. skyler | April 4th, 2008 at 5:27 pm

*not to be outdone wtf
20. entwined | April 4th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
#3 - live bloodworms for the fishes?
fave pic #12 :D looks so serene and romantic :D
21. songjun | April 4th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
hahaha you’ve noticed the bottomless pants the kids have :P we were pretty mesmerised by it too, and wanted to take pictures but decided it was too paedophilic to do so especially when they were playing with their parents sometimes :P
i’ve seen a mom lift a kid and let the kid pee in the middle of a shopping mall on the marble floor before in Yiwu, and another friend saw one taking a dump on the marble floor in the middle of a market/mall like thing. Open air snooker is really weird too o.O
22. ront | April 4th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
the red mess? blood from some sort of animal? or is it roe from some kind of fish…….how cold is cold?
23. tom | April 4th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
red mess?? some kind of chinese dodol?
Snooker table by the back alley! What!???
We have to freaking pay to play… why we don’t have that here..
wait.. our back alley too small i guess..
24. huiting | April 4th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
I thought you say the country was damn damn damn damn cold?? And you’re wearing like short skirt?? hahahaha I thought it’s like snowing and all!! :P
25. natalie | April 4th, 2008 at 8:45 pm

26. cyan | April 4th, 2008 at 8:52 pm

27. clem | April 4th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
i really want to go to kunming and guilin in the future. those are really nice pics.. which made me reaffirm my stand for that city
of all the places in china, for some reason i only want to go to these two. :P
28. cindymee | April 4th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
its pig’s blood, chinese ppl like it very much
29. hui wen | April 5th, 2008 at 12:34 am
Is it pork liver! ‘Cause everyone said coagulated pig blood, I want to be unconventional, heh. And why you want to buy beetle/hamster! How to bring back on the plane!
I have those old school sewing machine in my house! My grandma still goes tak-tak-tak to alter/mend our clothes. :))))
30. Tricia | April 5th, 2008 at 1:15 am
wow…the fruits look so so delicious and sweet ..especially the mangoes!!! yummy!
The red mess in pic #3 seems like billions of worms that ppl buy to feed their fish..lol..

august?….ooh..still a long way to go. let me buy you a cuppa before you leave, will ya?
35. nyrac | April 5th, 2008 at 10:13 am
hehe if you ever decide that you wanna go china again, and martian is not free to come along, i can always volunteer to be your chinese-speaking guide ;)
my dad went to the stone forest years and years ago, and the pics he took made me want to go soooooo much, until he told me about the toilets there. are they still as horrifying as they used to be?
36. Michelle | April 5th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Yay!
*flashes ear to ear grin*
When are you coming over? Make sure it’s not when I’m back in Malaysia.
37. sha | April 5th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
malaysian food ALOT . and not expensive at all (considering that its NYC afterall) . cheap ones bout $5 per plate? to name some, nyonya, sentosa, penang, curry leaves, and many more =) quite nice. ofcourse cant be compared to those at home but good enough and seriously ull be thankful that you have Malaysian food. I feel bad for my friends in Montana, Pittsburgh etc… ofcourse unless you cook!
38. songjun | April 5th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
pinkpau : haha it is an eye opening experience and shocking one too, cause u have academics that tag along explaining deeper things and history, culture, politics, economics etc that brings everything you look at into perspective.
you feel like you’re chinese but had no idea that the chinese were something else yet.. similar. To quote my lecturer
“same same but different, a very asian saying”
hehe
39. Random Surfer | April 5th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
#13 It’s not a knapsack (knapsack is just a synonym for regular backpacks.)
What you’re thinking of is a bindle. See here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bindle
40. eunice | April 5th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
look at those stockinged legs! haha, oh i LOVE tulips *jealous jealous jealous* haha……….i love picture 11, so cool!
i’m glad you had fun :)
41. foreverjas | April 5th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
really really nice photos! esp the sakura !!! yeesh. admire your life. all the best! when r u goin to america? dun stop blogging k! i need ur blog to stay alive =)
42. Jun | April 5th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
i had the same thought as sheon for #3 (and #18). they sure din look wormy ;p
as for #28 i’m reminded of the time when i visited my distant relatives in guangzhou 10 yrs ago, where i saw the boys decked in the same “holey pants”. guess this is the one fashion trend that remains “classic” as ever *LOL*
btw did u end up buying the roses and the strawberries?
43. iamdoryfish | April 5th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
They were worms? :P…???
44. *dAwN | April 5th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Wow.. what a nice trip! *envies* ;) I want to visit China one day… and also to this one island across the strait -__-
45. michellesy | April 5th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
‘Beh tahan” hahhah - at least he tried, and very very hard too at getting his point across. He could have tried to make hand gestures (universal sign language hehe), but seeing as how the nature of the emergency was rather delicate, it could have turned out fairly…..risque? =P
Yunnan is so beautiful and in some ways, so disjointedly different from China isn’t it? And the tea they produce is the unbelievable. Martian likes pu er eh? He has good taste, that man (alien?) =D It’s the king of teas, with a price tag to match, really.
Yunnan looks lovely from your pictures. And the food. And the parks (and ducks!). And those kids. And those flowers *swoons*, love flowers (can’t whinge about the price either) and those blooms looked to be in tip-top condition and enormous to boot!
46. Just Another Girl | April 5th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Hi Su Ann, I came across your blog while blog hopping and yeah, I’ve been silently stalking your blog for some time now.. I guess I’m not so silent now! Haha anyway, just wanna comment to say that u have a great blog going! =) And congrats on getting admissions. :)
47. Charlie | April 6th, 2008 at 12:26 am
Oh man Kunming is awesome!! Have you tried the Over the Bridge noodles. Forgot what it’s really called but I’m sure there’s Bridge in the name somewhere hahaha.
Eh by the way, congrats on those amazing uni offers!! They weren’t stupid enough to turn someone like you down : ) I knew you could do it!!
48. Sze | April 6th, 2008 at 1:44 am
i know what you mean about the flowers. i always had fresh flowers in my flat in kunming, and the lillies lasted almost 2 weeks!
49. pinkpau | April 6th, 2008 at 5:34 am
sheon : FROZEN WORMS??? and you put them next to your meat in the freezer?!?!?!?! zomg no definitely not hanging out with you for a cuppa now :P
nyrac : eh you mean you will travel to china with me?? :D ahhhhh the toilets. i made it a point to describe to Martian every single public toilet i went to :) they were a whole new facet of the China experiences, those toilets were.. :)
michelle : let’s coordinate our dates over msn :)
sha : now why does everyone keep selling me on NYC =( doesnt anyone want me to go to UPenn =(
songjun : that saying is THAI !!!! i have a tshirt that proves it!
random surfer : ooh. haha thank you for the education! bindle… i didnt even know that word existed
eunice : yes, look at those stockinged legs. damn skinny right!!! i dunno how they walk :\
foreverjas : leaving in august. dont be silly, of course you dont need my blog to stay alive!!
jun : hahaha i cant believe that fashion trend has survived all this time. i wonder if they had it wayyyy back in the early chinese dynasties. TVB doesnt show it :P noooo i didnt buy the strawberries regretfully :(
iamdoryfish : yes! to feed dory fish like you!
dawn : visit ME!!!
michellesy : HAHAHHAA since u like tea!!!! give you 1 buck if you can guess what ‘royalty tea’ is :P it was all over the menus in china and i was wondering what the heck it was. haha it hit me a little bit too late. dont say Martian got good taste :( later he force me to drink that tea again :(
just another girl : thank you for reading !! :) and yes dont stay silent anymore :P
charlie : yessss i loved those noodles!! we had that like 3 times in kunming i think.
sze : sigh if only flowers in KL were that cheap. we have camerons wat!! :(
50. sha | April 6th, 2008 at 10:19 am
no no. i honestly dont like nyu campus also. no campus life. go to upenn! find out which sch is better for your major. if you might go into buss, go to u penn ( no question!) anyway really, upenn isnt too far from nyc =)
51. Simon Seow | April 6th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Kunming, lol. Reminds me of Martial Arts novel like those written by Louis Cha.
52. sheon | April 6th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
hey..not fair! that was back in uni days when i was staying out campus lar…..no worms now…no worms now……hahahaha
53. mIcheLLe | April 6th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
I just saw the chinese lee meng HAHAHAHAHHAH WHAT THE HELL HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA I tell him!!!!!!
54. Jenny | April 7th, 2008 at 7:25 am
I am really curious about this, does Martian pay for your trips to travel abroad?
55. ront | April 7th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
speaking of worms…it has been raining here…and this morning on the sidewalk there’s a fishy and salt water smell…..then i realized the ground is covered with earthworms…all crawled out to flee from drowning….
56. ap | April 7th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
1st comment here…..Yunnan seems like a path to an escapist’s dreamland, can’t wait to hear more of it. btw, i just finished reading On Chesil Beach, and only recently discovered someone who like Ian McEwan and Neil Gaiman as I do plus the lot of musical commonground O.O
57. michellesy | April 7th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
