Putting Last Touches on Christmas Plan (Adventure Travel)

Just because I’m a Cantonese fundamentalist and don’t want Hong Kong to be taken over by Mandohooligans, it doesn’t mean I don’t feel a huge pull from the wild almost daily. Yes, I’m talking about the untamed hinterlands of the foothills of the Himalayas, the endless grasslands with their chomping yaks and the deathly deserts of the Central Asian plains… etc. And I’ll take Guangdong province too. Any time!

So now Christmas is galloping towards us with enormous haste, and I want, no, need! to get away. And bugger me if my good friend J didn’t suggest that we go into the hinterland together! So now we’re doing that. First we’re getting on an overnight train to Kunming

which is the capital of wondrous Yunnan province, and then… who knows. But we’ll be seeking out the less, not to say least, freezing areas of the province, so going south to the tropical bits which are supposed to look like Burma!!! will be the order of the day. SO, so exciting. We’ll be taking off around the 23rd of December and we still have two free seats on the trip. So if you like adventure travel with youth discos, card playing, beer drinking and excellent food, why not join us?
