Through the rain to see Yunnan -5
11, book bar, and a dog Fun (2002.9.21)
And that the students on the fun, after Chile Dun bid farewell to pot the next day the two of us take the seven hour drive back to Lijiang. Stationed in the International Youth Hostel. Wooden fence on the hotel hung a sign clearly reading "suits and ties who can not be accepted," that this international organization's attitude: This is a backpacker's home.
Into the hotel's small courtyard, hit T shirt jeans bag are a vivid face. Our room in the small building's second floor, small building full of wood, wooden doors, wooden windows, wooden floors, wooden staircases, wooden beams and columns. Stayed one night after learning that there are still inside the door latch, and it was a small wooden articles, as long as that stick up will be inserted in a broken wooden door, the door even locked.
International Youth Hostel initiated by a German, and soon developed into an international coalition, to join the hotels must be located in the most beautiful scenic area or a bustling city area, the price even lower. German school children were asked twice a year to live this hotel, in order to exercise their own independent lives. Toilet and bathroom are common, you own laundry, so wish, you can have dinner with the boss, on condition that the people involved must themselves be a vegetable a day, 6 yuan materials. When we went to, CYTS the reception of overseas travelers have not yet run the procedure, so in September could not live a foreigner, and we do not have to worry about the room issue, anyway, there is always shelter.
On the first floor of the bar do not know do not know what the bar is called, bars? Internet cafes? Book bar? Chandelier lamp shades are woven grass, nature, simplicity; Teana-like CD, on the then prevailing melodious; flowing water, on the then ding-dong ran in under the eaves; micro-Feng Fu, the Dengying sway increasingly quiet. The countries of books, quietly standing on shelves or hung on the wall, can freely choose.
In Lijiang, our favorite is the early return to CYTS, sitting in the book bar where a small stream, looking at books, Douzhe seven different sizes, character of the dogs were still marked. Dogs have only four major points have their own name: the largest is Cuihua heads, legs are the shortest bench, lying in the chair favorite is the monk; body spots are potatoes.
I have always been favorite animal is the dog, the faithful love it, love it's warmth. Watching hostel where seven dogs, I basically do not want to go out again, just want to, and their tired together, see them lying there sunbathing, mutual slapstick, licking comb fur. Warm emotions is also infected with the boss that he did not dare to touch the dog can be, but now they catch that feeling, um, enjoying a group of dogs Wai in the side of fun. I sat in the big wood bench, squint, looking at the sun and scattering of colorful courtyard, looking around as to go with the dogs, watching the boss's smile, nice, this is life!
12, Lugu Lake (2002.9.23)
Looked great storms of the lake, I began to regret the trip to the lake. A seven-hour car ride here, God bursts of land donated to us is wind and faint faint days to view the lake. Unseasonably cold, even 10 degrees is no wind energetically's clothes and crevices to drill, the lake's waves is also a layer descend quickly, this kind of weather, but want to ride Zhu Caochuan trips that crazy.
Cold at night can not hold back people's enthusiasm, after nonstop rain, we lit a bonfire, singing and dancing. I did not go and people to work together wildly dancing, because the boss committed stomach, eat nothing. Do not trust him, I just want a lot of barbecue taste side back to the room itself slowly. As no one to share, I feel boring.
Ao has a cold night, the morning opened the door, the weather is still bad, gloomy, sometimes floating-point rain. Tatema decision: to withdraw! To be returned to the international youth hostel, watching the dogs who came up, psychological really warm, I really like a home!
