I've got itchy feet!

I've been a loyal reader of Jonna's blog recently. I really enjoy her writing which is of great fun. Today, her post is about her plan of traveling in Yunnan, which prompts me to bring back the pleasant memory of my trip in Yunnan last September. I did solo traveling and made many friends during the trip. I've got itchy feet again, but I know I cannot take another trip now. That's why I'm sitting here listening to the beautiful song 《彩云之南》(The South of Colorful Clouds, which refers to Yunnan) by singer Xu Qianya (徐千雅). I really like her music about Yunnan and Tibet.

Being an adventurous guy, I 'illegally' went fishing on a fisherman's boat in Dali and solo trekked the Tiger Leaping Gorge. I also traveled to Shangri-La and made many friends with fellow backpackers in Lijiang. These are some photos I took on my trip. Man, I love traveling!

Nice photos Hang. I haven't been to Yunnan, but I understand its a very beatuiful place. I recently saw the movie luò yè guī gēn, which was filmed mostly in Yunnan -breathtaking scenery.

Of course, your photo of the girls was the best !

I know that movie but I haven't watched it yet. Yunnan is a beautiful land with so many places to visit. You should visit someday!

Shopgirl, I also frequent your blog to see pretty girls. Hei, hei.

Preeti Shenoy, thanks for your nice comment. Traveling is addictive. I've got addicted to it since my solo trip to Tibet several years ago.

Thanks for those nice comments! After seeing some pics of your recent trip to Yunnan I want to go even more!!! Looks absolutely lovely over there, especially that blue sky... as for itchy feet, I am the same. Constantly itching. Constantly keen to go somewhere new... If only my wallet felt the same way... oh well. I guess looking forward to the trip adds to the experience (even though I am having problems seeing that now).

Where are you planning to go next?!

Jonna - Thanks for stopping by. I like the blue sky there. But the bluest sky I've ever seen was in Tibet. I am not sure where I want to go next, maybe Guilin of Guangxi province or Vietnam.

I’m here to testify about what Dr James  did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 4 years and had constant pain and itching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor nothing is working out, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Pedro, on the internet testifying about a Herbalist called Dr James from West Africa, on how he cured Him from 7 years HSV 2. And He also gave the email address of this man... [drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com]..., advising anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I'm going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him. I have faith he can cure me too,, Dr James prepared and sent me Healing Oil, Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after four weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more itching , pain on me anymore as Dr James assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test. the result came out negative. So friends my advice is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like  HPV, HBV, HIV/AIDS, ALS, HBP, CANCER,NEPHROTIC SYNDROME, etc. you can contact Dr James herbal mixed  the home of wellness direct on his.... drjamesherbalmix@gamil.com...  He is a good man,and He will help you.
