Farewell Dongchuan


This past weekend was our last in Dongchuan, the town two hours north of Kunming where we’ve been teaching every weekend for the past two months. While it was a great to experience China’s countryside, get out of the city and make some extra cash, the job wasn’t all it was cracked up to be and we decided to resign our positions at the school. As a tribute to Dongchuan, I’ve included some pictures from their lively Sunday market. The meat section is a bit shocking, but remember that the Chinese don't mess around. From the butcher block to the dinner table - they eat everything!

As I am busy preparing for our upcoming month-long journey to Vietnam this will have to be a short entry, though stay tuned next week for a glimpse at the Stone Forest - a natural wonder just outside Kunming that we're visiting on Saturday.
