June Rain

🌧️💔🚶‍♀️
June rain falls outside
My heart bleeds inside
Amidst the ruins of pain
A longing to unite remains
Yet, love often subsides
//
六月雨纷纷
心内血淋淋
痛苦的废墟中
想在一起到别离
但是爱情在哪里
Liù yuè yǔ fēnfēn
Xīn nèi xiě línlín
Tòngkǔ de fèixū zhōng
Xiǎng zài yīqǐ dào biélí
Dànshì àiqíng zài nǎlǐ
//
Lục nguyệt vũ phân phân
Tâm nội huyết lâm lâm
Thống khổ đích phế khư trung
Tưởng tại nhất khởi đáo biệt ly
Đãn thị ái tình tại na lý
//
Ngoài trời mưa rơi tháng sáu
Trong lòng rướm máu
Những hoang tàn nỗi đau
Muốn cùng đi đến khi biệt ly
Mà tình nào đâu mấy khi

Yunnan 2023, Day 8: Kunming And Back Home

This morning, I took a short troll to the Kunming’s Dounan Flower Market before going to the Kunming Changshui International Airport to take the flight back home.

When I got back home, I lost about 1 kg. I thought the food was quite okay, but maybe I didn’t eat enough.

In general, cities and towns in Yunnan have mild temperatures. I liked Dali, Shangri-La, and Kunming while they were cool and pleasant. Lijiang was a little too hot and dry the days I were there. The fruits there are so much like in Vietnam. They have everything tropical. In this June, they have lychee, and durian. Besides, they have a special Chinese bayberry which I didn’t recall eating it before it. Other berries and cherries are available at affordable price. This was better than in Vietnam.

The food wasn’t as oily as I had thought. They had a lot of vegetables, too.

Yunnan 2023, Day 7: Lijiang To Kunming

This was the first time I sat on a speed train in China. It wasn’t as speedy as I thought. The fastest speed I saw on the train was 198 km/h while I heard that it could be 250 km/h.

Around noon, I reached Kunming South Station. Then I went to the Kunming West Hill (Xishan Forest Park) where I took an old style cable car to the top. It was raining hard on my way down the hill, but the view to the DianChi Lake was so beautiful.

In the evening, I strolled around the night market near the C gate of the Fuhe Station. Here I bought a glass of fruit juices. So delicious! I also went to the supermarket for the last time to bought some noodles, congee, and milk tea to bring home tomorrow. This was the third time I had to ask for the bill at supermarkets in this trip. I wondered why Chinese people didn’t wanna know the details of what they’ve bought.

There were 2 fireworks at 10 p.m. I seemed to enjoy fireworks every time I went to China.
