Part II: Departure
November's a Tuesday morning, An Men line of 13 people traveling in Yunnan airlines set out. Has been popular in the circle, said: Cloud Air Air service than on good, flight attendants are also beautiful. Now does not seem to bubble, Shanghai Airlines strokes Mrs. A and empty for so long-short little effect on the overall level of aesthetics, but also even the point of gifts is not fat, look at people who goes to the one flight a key cases, no wonder people good reputation.
As has been busy lately, yesterday for a European tour thing stay up at night, this morning, no more energy, even if I sat in the window seat, and no mind to enjoy it from the plains outside the window - hills - mountains -- Plateau changing characteristics of the landscape. To the beautiful flight attendant asked for a two cans of beer, drunk sleep after they kick into gear. (However, like the geography of a friend does fit what I like to take this opportunity to experience the vast territory of China).
About the flight for nearly three hours, and finally reached the "Spring City", Kunming.
The third part of the trip got off the plane in Kunming, enthusiastic tour guides to meet the small Xu us, guide us on the bus. The first stop was the Western Hills, as Wujiaba Kunming Airport, built in the urban east, we have to cross the urban area, just like to take this opportunity to list the city. Kunming overall building also good, and Jiangnan some of the major cities and some one to. Xu said the small guide: This is mainly city of Fair credit, as the Urban Fair held in Kunming, the Government has invested a lot in the urban construction on the city's urban construction, what makes the speed increase for several years. She also said: Kunming, the quality of the public also increased a lot, never people Luanchuanmalu's. I have to observe a moment, turned a bright red light, a pedestrian on the road regardless of whether the vehicles, all stop waiting, the situation should be much better than in Shanghai, and can not help but secretly admire. Along the way have also seen the opening of many new commercial housing, look good, selling only 2,000 a square meter, we can see that the local people is not very high income and consumption levels. Little they tell us: there are 3,4 chunill downtown square meters of housing is very high-end of the. Need real estate in Shanghai, there are 3,4 chunill square meters, but was U.S. ah! (I secretly figured up, and so retired, and save money to buy a suite in Kunming, together with her husband to move over, had a single lead an easy life, must be very happy benefit of Oh!) Then, they blew a small Xu started ugly, she wants us to pay attention Kunming residential buildings within the window, it's always, without exception, to install an iron fence. Originally these years Kunming burglary cases soared, mainly by drug addicts is the culprit. This in turn forced us to this beautiful city of Kunming with the drug-linked.
Knew it, had come to the Western Hills, Western Hills with rope, so we did not spend much time will be on the mountain. However, there is my fear of heights on a cable car in this simple indeed out of body sweat, but fortunately, the cable car to see the beauty of Dianchi Lake, let me temporarily forget fear. Ropeway side there is photography, you have a show of hands, he beat on a souvenir for you, of course, do not forget to pay him 15 yuan for each money. I and small facilities each get a one, is also full of cool-looking oh!
Soon they arrive at a gantry Rock Road, along the narrow stone is the Dragon Gate in the opposite direction. In the small tour Hsu's "instigation", we all turn to the door beam touched the Dragon Pearl, would like to seek good luck, I is no exception. Said that Dragon is indeed a really good view of Dianchi Lake to see attractions, Kunming fundus appearance can also be income, as well as those made cowards incubator - Haigeng approximation can also be read. Although the overall picture has not imagined so beautiful, but far away to this observation, it is a blessing, and think about their lives living in Shanghai, I can come here several times, ah! Overlooking the Dianchi Lake, the surface of green, and a very calm, really like a "pond," but this "pond" But the big Oh! By the way, Dragon Gate and many seem a prosaic side of the stone, and in the tour promised introduction of small, under cultural charm of the Man You are also down.
Down the Western Hills is more than seven, Shanghai is lighting after midnight, Kunming, or started going to the evening. A pedestrian hurried Daguan Lou (cursory tour of the features of the team), and so on into the Grand View Park, walk to the Tai Guanlou ago, just dark days. Darkness, Da Guanlou long before the two together is also a conspicuous before the Daguan Lou is another look at some fun in Dianchi Lake, and quiet and Tian Mei.
Because after a Denglou time, we rested for a moment, after pictures of it to eat the. Strike meals, tour guides took us back to the hotel a small Xu stay. Because He lived in a two-star hotel, there is no activity projects, I, Cheng Costa Rica, Chen sister, small small-Hui Shi dragging guides and takes her to us to taste a local specialty food. So we promised to lead in a small down to a bit like a small stand of Shanghai on the road, find the booths from a local flavor to taste. Features one: baking, the original locals like to think of anything baked, chicken wings, ah, ah fish, potatoes ah, even the chives are baked, be fair, leeks baked taste pretty good, unique oh ! Features 2: spicy, Kunming, with its spring originally thought they taste should also be mild, did not expect was actually so spicy, it is hard to understand. Victims of a man, I drank a 1.25L bottle of coke, and then finished a pack of napkins (Mahan), but were reluctant to deal with this menu with Dayton. Cheng Shi old and small they are also the back of each folder Khan Liu. Supper finished, is already more than eleven, walking the streets in Kunming, blowing the genial Ye Feng, inhaling fresh air, ah, enjoy!
Early next morning the collection, to Shilin, through the road of time, An Men last night sent four a night owl to sleep early yesterday faithful Youziyouwei those groups talked about the characteristics of meal last night in Kunming. Xu has also played a small tour to explain the strange Yunnan 18 years, 18 odd finish, and they warned us of Kunming There are many drug traffickers, we draw attention to their safety, which was then pointed at me: "You do not worry about finding your drug traffickers to see if you have a long Zhuang, his face rosy, even if you take the initiative to ask people to buy drugs, drug traffickers did not dare to sell you a very simple reason, for fear you are a barb ah! "I do ... ....
After a passer-by between the jade shops, small Xu told us about that: "This is the largest and most formal of Kunming jade shops, this shop had a pair of bracelets is a treasure Zhendian 1 million asking price, and later used by Li Ka-shing's relatives 600,000 bought, and shop owner is also the impulse to act at that time begun to regret it. "depend on, a pair of bracelets sold 600,000, he also regretted Shaa! Then, she showed in my own hands a jade bracelets, 580 to buy, oval-shaped new styles, Shanghai can not buy, and then they teach us how to select jade tips. Although we know that she has done is to make us into shopping, we are still very happy, accepted, into the store purchasing them. I found a little silver belt, a total of more than 2000 ocean, not too extravagant to buy a small one and the same style bracelet Xu hands to bring his girlfriend (also a 580, with purple, small and exquisite, shopping centers in Shanghai, came back to see thousand dollars more goods not as I the good), and three hundred dollars or so bracelets bring other friends (ex post, carefully verify the observation of a sub-price goods in a reasonable, cheap The bracelet has defects, the comic book I did not see ah!). Chen sister bought a 3000 yuan's bracelet, it is beautiful, he returned to Shanghai experts to assess the value of a market value of about five or six thousand bar! Small facilities have also bought a thousand dollars or so bracelets to bring his wife, in short, from a tour of small Xu happy smile, we suspect that her relatively strong purchasing power of our mission can be fishing for a lot of kickbacks in. However, the flowers at such a price to buy a genuine Burmese jade, we do not care about anything. (Myanmar's jade is the world's best jade hardness, texture better than made in China, and Kunming is the largest processing base of Burmese jade.
In the jade shops stay more than an hour before we leave again, came to the Stone Forest before noon. We ate lunch into the forest to visit. This is indeed a spectacle, a perfect example of karst topography, Journey to the West, Ashima and so on heaven's pillars, as is indeed quite similar to some. There are a few of them's interesting is willing to share: Qushi 1, Shilin within the article through the crevice that can accommodate one person, but you must pay attention to the posture of the past - to the head and neck, had one, the body can be followed in the past, I am physically strong, especially the neck is relatively developed, the results of depriving my neck was stuck in a crevice in a long time could not move, and was even ugly people with the camera captured. Qu Shi 2, Shilin contains a very high beds, known as the Condor Heroes Maid slept in the "jade bed", visitors could not help but touch one-or two. Snoopy rise to sleep about 1:00, "jade bed", so we put together to be raised, "jade bed" on top, wow! Sure enough, Xiaolongnu reincarnation ah! (Snoopy and the Maid of the actor Carman Lee is very quite similar to the Department) for a time tourists have swarmed to come photo is the reincarnation of the Maid of the spectacle at once get a Snoopy face was flushed, pinned down by. Hee hee, probably for a long time no beauty of the stone forest bar!
Shilin, there are many places to rent clothes for the photography of minority use, the price is not expensive, all of our members have put on the costumes of ethnic minorities, to the Chang group photo. My brother is also Ju Jian Cheng contrast, get the fights Chang minorities.
Stone Forest in an afternoon cruise, the trip back the way through the "Colorful Yunnan" is the famous shopping guide (which is state-run can not be said of black). Three aunts be induced to buy several expensive price of tea in Shanghai later discovered that tea is also sold very cheap, and unmarketable. My sister bought a box, drink after Dahushangdang. Of course, the 37 tea is an exception, out of the tea a bit like ginseng tea and sour sweet-scented, but then I specialty shops in Kunming to spend 15 yuan to buy a pack, bringing his girlfriend to drink after the evaluation of a high.
19:00 Back to Kunming, we propose to improve the collective meals (Stone Forest's team ate our meals faster Daowei a)
Xu returned to the tour of small meals each of us 20 yuan, after a local took us to the famous "jixin" dining, restaurant decoration is very impressive, there are a large minority music and dance performances. From each one of the restaurant understand this manual describes a small restaurant owner to have their own groups and cabaret performers, fashion shows, and strive to build China brand and strive to make the "jixin" Dinner Dance and Paris Moulin Rouge's gorgeous dancing, Thailand yanwu par. Oh, the national entrepreneurs have this ambition, admirable. Meal is 160 yuan per person, you can cross the bridge to eat rice noodle, barbecues and other local characteristics, punctuated by brilliant performances in art auction, such as cans and other senior generals of porcelain products, which was eventually shot in Shanghai two moneybags go Oh, two menfolk Daoshi disappointing to the people of Shanghai ah! Hope they are not spending public funds Oh! Of course, the most attractive is that diners can at the end of all programs and all the performers for free photo, hee hee, I am left to hug a right hook one, for several beautiful pictures of (your attention to my words: useless " to adopt an "Oh! I pretty gentleman miles!) In a word," 160, the value!. "
Feasts scattered, the return to hotel rest, I and Cheng brother, Chen sister, small Shih four again last straw lonely, go out shopping. First found a Shuiguo Tan buy some fruit taste and found that pomegranate一级棒here! According to the owner, said Mans shipped. Particularly good skin peeling, imported water, after a full, sweet and refreshing. Really tasty to! Since then, the pomegranate I no longer sold in Shanghai do not eat.
Maybe a fruit appetizer, a few night owls An Men Department has recruited a taxi, the driver took us to find a place to eat supper. He An Men brought a bit like a vegetable market in Shanghai where, I got a look at God, is grilled ah! Hey, roasted on the grill it, we looked for a table specially take care of the boss put points less spicy, but also grilled leeks come from the boss recommended to us a new dish - roasted eggplant, we are skeptical of this place of new dishes. I saw the boss come up with eggplant, Oh, a big one of the eggplant ah, a top Shanghai eggplant 4, are made in China, not the same kinds of gas-ah! Boss with chopsticks cut open the semi-cooked grilled eggplant, you use a brush (in Shanghai, this should be the paint brush) dipped a bit material coated on the inside of the eggplant flesh, and then mixed with a few chopsticks, they can eat. Tu, taste pretty good Oh! Some, like Shanghai, spiced eggplant pot.
Several of the entertainer with Erhu and electronic organs, people come up to send a song to An Men is the "Butterfly Lovers fragments", fairly melodious sounds, we have another point of a "House of Flying Daggers", then eating the while enjoying music, hee hee, the nobility enjoyed. Eating supper, listening to music, we can not let white people busily working, pay thirty dollars playing fee. By the way, forgot to mention, and this barbecue meals are not expensive, are only 200 yuan less than a tonne, tube saturation ah!
The third day, Yuki got up early today, first went to the Ming Fung Shan, have been the "Ping Xiwang" Wu Sangui home base. Within the Golden Temple, for the Chen-Wu Kim, like. Tour guide told us a little secret Hsu, Chen-Wu, as the original face, is that Wu Sangui asked craftsmen carved in accordance with his face, it seems is a very handsome long Wu Sangui the hey! No wonder Chen Yuanyuan love him! Money money, to the right of the right to sell the phase will sell and not lose F4, a woman How could we deny ah! Xu told the An Men Mirage Small guide walls are hollow Fu, Lu, Shou's name is said to have left the wall Longevity, as long as people can get touched longevity, is very efficacious, I immediately go to the left looked, and sure enough there is a "shou" character is not in general, other words are gray, and only the word was that people touch of sparkle, it is eye-catching, Ha ha! I also appeared on to touch one!
Down the Golden Temple, they found gold of His Highness the Shiji is quite distinctive, small-Hui made a special tour for us that this Siji's story: King of His Highness the Shiji from a craft very smart when the hands of artisans, this Bit craftsmen exhausted all efforts to make all of these skills into Mirage's Shiji. When the Golden Temple to face the world when completed, the scene of people have been attracted by the golden Mirage, no one will pay attention to how this kind of stone infrastructure. The craftsmen unbearable world of turning a blind eye to their efforts, swallowed their anger from the Ming Fung Hill jumped after the suicide of the cliff. The artisans who committed suicide, the public gradually came to realize people did this extraordinary construction, Shiji, without exception, impressed by his superb technique. Shiji after years of disasters not to mention the baptism of the still strong exception and that is, around the circle of life-like man pages, Shiji map stone craft should also be people to savoring. Generation of craftsmen went so far have not been there during his lifetime for his recognition and praise, really the Chinese version of the Van Gogh ah! It is to marvel at.
Ming Fung mountain cableway to the Expo can be, as a landmark of Kunming, this park is our next natural attractions. About the whole rope, we have lost interest in this place, Expo and Shanghai Pudong Century Park is too many similarities, the small admission as we address the open mystery: The original design of the exposition and the Centennial Park from the same design company hand-ah! No wonder, and being insipid! Withdrawal, we are the company's eight colleagues who care do not park in this hundred dollars a ticket wasted, throwing a small tour group Friends of the Xu and the other five, went straight to Park, export, Sirenyizu hit two of the to the Kunming center sightseeing.
To the Kunming center, a small army, Snoopy, Sally, small Thursday apparently there is a clear purpose, straight went to one called the "tree" fashion shops, where there are selling SK Ⅱ face grinding, 80 1 yuan, the Shanghai sell more than 100 one ah! Our company had the last batch to Kunming MM who have come here to step over someone's point, and this time Snoopy was also entrusted by them to bring some goods back again. So the masses are beginning to MM from SK Ⅱ up shopping spree. An Men 3 Tate's menfolk suddenly uninteresting, but fortunately, "a tree" side there is a game room, riding MM were intoxicated with the excitement machine, we have quietly slipped into the game rooms, cool in one.
Knew it to noon, Anmen eight people back to join them Expo and Small Xu, after lunch take the afternoon plane to Jinghong, Cheng Geti has again rejected the proposed "team dinner", to a taste of mushrooms (which we of fresh mushrooms in Yunnan has long coveted a). So our company is a team of eight people intending to travel to the small Xu recommended "Ye Jun Lin," to try, while the other five of the group decided to stay and enjoy "team dinner", tour guides and drivers little they had some discretion is also master decided to abandon the team meal and joined the embrace of our team (and apparently they have a better understanding of the delicious mushrooms). We came to a pedestrian-eating fungus's "Ye Jun Lin", the door look, fairly clean their stores, looking for a Da-seated round-table one after another. Waiter brought the menu, we're not interested to see, Cheng brother stopped waving attendants, asked her for us to recommend several delicious of fungi, so vertical chicken, mushroom, snow etc. Velvet rare in Shanghai, the fresh bacteria side in the ranks. The food here is to use bacteria to eat shabu-shabu, and the seasoning used very little because the fungus itself is already very little of. At this point, whether Toshio Qiannv own image has long been forgotten, are various fungi Ji Houhou dish disk inserted into the hot pot together, not so boiled, could not wait to squeezed the mouth, TU, as expected Good taste! Really tasty tasty, eat 100 tire! Really can not think of a better time for the kind words, and had to eat special food action to replace. A moment, the table of the fungus by our sweeping an empty, yet satisfying and had then told to attendant and then point again. I inadvertently found the menu a dish called pork, can not help but wonder, boiled mutton, beef shabu heard, how could it have shabu pork, the attendants of Miss dispel our fears: The original "Pork" is also a kind of fungi, but cut into a tablet, shaped like a pork color in particular, a point out of curiosity, tastes OK, not really worse than pork, but compared with high-quality vertical chicken mushrooms to Johnson a little more. Finally we Yifa force, putting all new points were all the eradication of fungi. In fairness, this meal is Burton fungi so far I eat the most delicious meal (not I have not seen in the market, I have eaten shark's fin Liang Zhong's Oh! Shanghai also have to eat mushrooms, but a lot of are dry, but also like "Ye Jun Lin" is designed to eat bacteria shops).
Meal after meal (probably pay more than 400), everyone got up and check-out, go to "team restaurant" connected and the other five members went to the airport. Guides or little they might rediscover their conscience eating An Men of fresh bacteria to return us the way we went to take a low-priced specialty shops, two days before a door somewhere else who bought a tea, medicinal herbs and other native products persons (including the I bought a lot of Yunnanbaiyao), the first impression is: sorry - hey! All the stuff in this to buy ah! The same goods, where at least 30% cheaper ah! Regret not help, only make up cabin, so we bought a lot of things, I also bought fifteen yuan per packet tea, and supplemented by 37 points Yunnanbaiyao. As a result, almost everyone who is spending the silver in the Kunming to Xishuangbanna for the post-laid paved the way for economic distress.
After the big purchase came to Kunming airport, and the past few days to get along well with our little they hurried farewell tour guides later, we boarded to go to the state capital of Xishuangbanna - Jinghong aircraft.
(The second pluggable advertising - self-service tours, accompanying tourism, air tickets, booking, I did not find difficult Tel: 33080569,53511431 Fax 53,062,195 Jinhua travel www.lvyou8.com E-mail: webmaster@lvyou8.com )
The fourth part of the trip arrived in Jinghong in Xishuangbanna is in the evening, catch the sun under the sun is scattered on the body's nice, but the temperature significantly higher than in Kunming. To meet our tour guides are very assimilated Miss Yang Bai, feeling no small Kunming Xu less enthusiastic, and she should first brought us to our hotel where he stayed a two-star hotel, we should first luggage into the room, the room facilities are relatively poor , bed sheets, some yellow, and several light switch is broken, the bathroom looked very old and not very clean, anyway, I own expectations are not high, also do not care about it.
Miss Yang guides greeted us to eat dinner first entered the restaurant, the table of the dishes regardless of cold or hot, have a Shang Hao. The same group of small husband and wife have been acclimatized, early rest, do not come for lunch. Our colleagues in the company and three aunts are also a good situation, each person ate a bowl of crunchy rice. Needless to say the food there was better than burning in Shanghai, but the Pork was burning very certain characteristics, a bit sour, and a little bit mild, quite delicious. Miss Yang tells us: due to climate reasons, Xishuangbanna local dishes in general are doing more sour, sweet, while the vegetables inside the hostel, in order to cater to the tastes of tourists, mostly to imitate the firing of Cantonese cuisine. Then we ask Miss Xiang Yang at night can be fun places, Miss Yang tells us: here, a lot of bonfire night party can participate, but to pay attention to participate in the vicinity of the best in hotels, not far from the urban area, otherwise they will be cheated. We immediately asked Miss Yang lead the way, but she refused euphemism, because she is the evening to attend a women's basketball game, Oh! Xishuangbanna, the original fitness movement are engaged in a good ah!
Rice strike, our colleagues in the company's Zhongwei naturally restless, collective start shopping. Jinghong on both sides of the street lights rarely been replaced by the Yi Keke towering coconut trees, the trees end up with some big one's palm, so we were a bit worried about smashed. Some of them the hawker stalls selling more books, fruit and the like, but few who is interested, and most stores are relatively deserted. Not particularly prominent downtown shopping centers and restaurants, only a block not far from the hotels (mostly two, three-star) and also provide a sense of the city a little busy, in general, the size of its cities also quite in Shanghai, a county seat.
Despite the Jinghong small, after all, we are strange and novel, we walk the streets of interest in their forward to the place where most people walked. The place is a maximum of one square (in fact, only be regarded as an open ground), the side of the square there are two basketball courts, but also the ongoing women's basketball games, there are hundreds of people stood next to the match. Miss Yang said is true guide ah! We immediately came to found her Yingzisashuang figure, could be found for a long time Quemei found, evidently she must be a bench player. The two sides Pinqiang very intense field Unfortunately, technical content is not high, more than 10 minutes have not seen a decent goal, only to see that both sides continuously engaged in offensive and defensive conversion and return to the round-trip run, see some of our boring, then U-turn to the back away.
Fast back to our hotel where he stayed when suddenly heard "Thunk, Thunk, Thunk," the drum, drum looked down, not far from there is the side of the Dai Junior is a great drum beat. We are all curious Coushang go, the original two to three hundred meters away from where the local bonfire to be held at eight o'clock in the evening, so drums call participants. Hee hee, it is interesting, be sure to attend. Taiwan look at the table until 7:15, can not do so on it, just when drums beat a bit tired of the juvenile to lose a drum stick, and ran away. Shi agile small and tried to remove the drum stick, imitating the juvenile section of drums Minato, "Thunk, Thunk, Thunk," to beat up, so we all Shouyang up, approached the drum line. Finally, when I turn, as early as choke-resistant for a long time and no matter what the rhythm of the I, and vent their mission to hammer on the camel, two, the "Thunk ... .... Thunk ... ... bang," Huh? Sound a bit dumb how often billed as a look at, bad, and Jin make too big, put a small piece of drum heads Qiaopo. Withdrawal, should not stay for long here. Fortunately, unseen side, we have to speed up the pace went to the bonfire party venue.
Just out of tens of meters, he saw a Zhaizi the entrance to brands "cock-fighting in Society." Shanghai had never seen natural to go in and look at喽, door a look inside the layout a bit like boxing games, which is fighting units, surrounded by a ring-shaped auditorium. Of course, the area of fighting units and the auditorium are also with the main character (chicken) and size of the micro-since. Today's hero is the one red and one black two rooster, the rooster seemed to be lean than in Shanghai many, it must be a professional player. The audience small, twenty or thirty people, the venue while someone is selling the tickets, oh, not a ticket, be a bargaining chip, the original is still a casino here, it! Perhaps the local cockfighting gambling is accustomed to the kinds of custom bar, so no public gamblers who cares about our eight outsiders. Cockfighting game started, the rule is very simple, one to the other fighting units under the Big Dipper on wins. Thought Nazhi black cock more aggressive appearance, should be able to win a round up unexpectedly, he was down to peck each other, so that those who have the same feeling with me gamblers lose money. Not so good, I do not know which of the following chickens playing it? Unexpectedly, these two chickens, or against, but change only their odds. Being insipid, pure gambling Well! We are bitterly leave.
Out of the "cock-fighting association" After night falls, the path to the bonfire party on both sides of the point of the torch. We extend along the direction of torches to find ticket, 80 yuan a person, small facilities to produce their own travel company in order to guide the work permit in his capacity as leader of Canada to remove a party ticket, Oh, this concerns our tourism workers, the privilege of oh !
Show a People's Liberation Army soldiers guard the entrance, there are given a warm welcome Dai girls, they are one up to see us have muttered, "Oh, there are four cats in Delhi ah!" (Local control young men called the "cat Delhi", management of youth Women's called "show in Delhi," Note: the above) is homophonous with the original they were a short hair cut, Chen sister also as a "cat Delhi", and hey, see this handsome "cat Delhi," we must make these local " Sao Delhi "Spring surging heart of the bar! The four teams An Men "show in Delhi" apparently did not arouse their attention ah!
To participate in the local bonfire party admission are the rules, come drink the bowl of the local rice wine, give us a bunch of fruit plants (perhaps seeds) made of hanging beads. Strange taste the local rice wine, it is difficult to swallow, but out of respect for fellow Dai had to be held in its mouth, to find a place where no one vomited. This string of beads hanging quite novel, there is a local flavor, I am very popular use, back to Shanghai after hanging on the door. Unfortunately, in the latest odds and his girlfriend when he was that she broke, and beads split years, there is also a small insect crawling out of miles, Oh, Xishuangbanna insect ah!
Bonfire night one of the elements is to make everybody fill stomachs, we are placed in a shed made of bamboo structures inside dining, but the food is very single, that is, kebabs, rice wine, sugar cane, an unlimited supply of. Wine can not re-use, and does fit to eat some chicken, sugar cane, sweet water is also sufficient, can be used as beverages, at this time if there are sets juicer the better.
People from entering the venue, when nearly 78 adults, program started, we left the shed, not far from the same bamboo to build the auditorium to watch the show. Program is mainly a local dances of various ethnic minorities than in Kunming, "jixin" to see the performance even more simple, in particular, there is a "bride kidnapping" of the program is very interesting, there is the original local minorities (can not remember is what tribe of) would like to have a wife, then wife of the congregation to be a powerful force friends abruptly in front of the wife snatched Caixing. Looked at the groom's side of the congregation were her parents "tigress" hit the Mandizhaoya appearance, could not help but remind myself how lucky they are not men of this tribe ah! Finally, the groom's friends or in public offensive help, grab what belongs to Americans.
After the big show is the exchange between peoples, we return to the shed to continue eating, and then you participate in performances, "cat Delhi" and "Sao Delhi" have been sitting in the same table and visitors toast, chatting, mostly "cat Delhi "to find a female tourist chat," Sao Delhi "to find a male tourist chat. (How does that feel a bit like a nightclub young master like Miss POP Counter). Which is interspersed with close-dance performances, Dai around you get up at any time to join fellow performers. You also mention that a few dance Dai girls really have a good body, very straight and thin, graceful dance and variety, so that visitors looking at several northeast saliva cross flow.
Performance after the tourists and performers, dancing with the bamboo dance, that is, around the campfire, waving bamboo stamp to the dance. My brother Cheng, small Shih everyone to grab a big bamboo squeeze everyone of them, along with the rhythms, stamp to the dance. Moment, a lead dancer wants everyone to put down bamboo tube, she was transferred from the wrist to follow. I then homeopathy will be thrown into bonfire in the bamboo and then let the fire bigger, but, immediately place "cat Delhi" will be in the bamboo fire rescue, oh, this is other people's props, can not be burned hey!
Followed by game time, the first game is pinning relay is a form of confrontation, a group of five people, one holding a one-line one-leg jumping from a remote office stakes, wooden blocks on the poked five needles, the line After the eye of a needle through which a return to the origin, the second movement of his companions go on until the completion of five until the entire exercise. Originally normally this is a very simple matter to one where there can be a competitive game and when they lose control of the hands and feet, and our team looks like a very cool little Shih person may one to thread a needle when limbs tremble too can not be myself, have lead us to this group has been eliminated. And Snoopy, Xiao Zhou them in the group also dropped the final. The second game is to work together, but also against type, that is, a group of five feet are tied to two long bamboo, and then move forward with a first end of a group of winning. My brother Cheng, Chen sister, small facilities usually very familiar with this game we like. Sure enough, another group of opponents off their feet one by one all the time, we are steadily reached the end of deliberately. After the game, the winner's prize is one of a pack of renal tea (a kind of hard to drink tea, but the instructions said kidney ah!).
Finally, a get-together of people of various nationalities, we hand-mix hand surrounded by three rings inside and outside, and then jumping, around, and singing (which is sung by Chairman Mao and the great unity of people of all nationalities like the oldies), and then Zhuang Zhao (local custom, is to favor mutual courtesy bar), which can be miserable return to a beautiful lady host, I saw the brawny those who were unanimous in the Northeast to the hit her to go, where what is each other to favor, is clearly trying to She swallow, ah!

It is I - a white-collar workers from the city's aspirations. Indeed, such a bonfire party to the Anmen those living in the hustle and bustle of the city among the people a lot of joy, relaxation and catharsis of the.
Back to the hotel is 11 o'clock number, bath to bed.也不管卫生间不甚干净了，脱下湿透的汗衫打开笼头洗了起来。哟，水好凉啊！我明明开了热水的呀！可总不能干晾着吧，冷水也得洗啊！于是将就着洗了把冷水澡。后来知道，原来这里的热水都是靠太阳能蓄的，一到半夜就没热水了，哎！西双版纳的二星级宾馆！
进滇的第四天了，大家吃完早饭八点钟集合出发去西双版纳勐腊县的热带雨林植物园。 11月份西双版纳的早晨蛮凉的，天阴沉沉的，太阳要到10点多过后才能看见。还好我带了件外套才不至于挨冻。途中经过一地下车休息，这里有水果和工艺品卖，显然这是旅行社安排的购物点。不过东西好像不贵，我买了两个蝴蝶标本的木制像框，每个框内有七八种蝴蝶的标本，十分漂亮，让人看了爱不释手，每个才二十五元（开价五十元一个）。小施买了把孔雀羽毛做的大扇子，有一米多长，才七十元（开价一百三）。而大多数人都去买了菠萝吃，因为这的菠萝不用盐水洗浸，直接可以食用，味道极甜、极好吃。还有鸡蛋果，外形如蛋状，果实如蛋黄状，香甜润滑。更有一种名为“夜来香”的水果，摊主极力推荐：将其破开一洞，挤出果实，拌糖直接食用或泡水冲饮都可谓之极品也。程哥买了整整一箱带走，我也买了两斤。 （带回上海冲饮之后，初时入口很酸，回味一下很有余味，再饮果然不同凡响，味美胜过“果珍”百倍。）
一番采购后，大家又上路了，大约十一点左右到了西双版纳热带雨林植物园。一进园门，我就被眼前的郁郁葱葱征服了，好美，好壮观啊！园内的导游告诉我们，这里是西双版纳真正的热带雨林森林，眼前的植物园只是其中开发的一小部分。我们跟随着导游开始游园。只见蜿蜒的山路两边都是些从没见过的植物，忽然导游指着俺背后喊到：“看，竹叶青！”我的妈呀！毒蛇啊！吓得我两腿一哆嗦。大家都顺着导游指的地方望去，原来我身后的一棵树上果真挂着一条碧绿的小蛇，还好离我有几米远的距离。虚惊一场！再往前行几步，又见一棵树前标识着：剧毒，见血封喉，不要触摸（这样的标识在园内随处可见）。我不禁又打了个冷战，暗自嘀咕：怪不得威震江湖的五毒教出在云南，他们可以就地取材生产毒器啊！
越往上走，雨林越是深邃，也越是让我们感到了热带雨林的神秘和深不可测。不多时到了空中走廊前，是以望天树为中心，用钢索和模板等材料架设在半空中的小道。上去之后，并没感到十分的惊险，只是要注意身上的东西千万不要掉下去，否则根本别想找到。下了空中走廊后，绕着石板小道可见清澈的溪流和一棵巨大的榕树，树前立着一碑“绞杀王”。原来这是目前雨林内最大的一棵榕树。榕树是一种“绞杀”现象，小鸟在热带雨林中栖息，吃的榕树种子经粪便排出，在其他树上发芽，逐渐长出气生根，然后对该树缠绕摄取营养，进行绞杀，最后取而代之，真是大千世界无奇不有。 （只是弄不明白为什么那个文学网站要起个“榕树下”的晦气名字，难道要等待绞杀？呵呵，离题了，开个玩笑而已。）
回到植物园门口，看见有卖木雕的，看中了一个大像的木雕，不知道是什么木料的，只觉得掂在手里甸甸的，一定是块好木料。而且工艺也不错，才二十五元，于是毫不犹豫的买了下来。
出了远植物园已经一点多了，逛了那么多时间大家早就饿坏了。到了餐厅后来了个风卷残云，早无了前些日子在昆明挑三拣四的心境。餐毕，导游杨小姐问我们要不要参加漂流，餐厅门口有个漂流点。又是我、程哥、陈姐和小施这四个积极分子响应，三位阿姨和小夫妻俩已经体力不支了。小陆、小周前些日子刚去过张家界的漂流，觉得没啥兴趣,只有史诺比和小张决定和我们同去。
真正的漂流出发点离餐厅有一刻钟车程，工作人员开了部破旧的小卡车送我们过去。到了出发点，选了一个比较结实的竹筏，上面摆了几个竹椅，再给我们每人配了一把遮阳伞。一男一女两个傣族青年为我们当梢公，男的站在后面用长竹竿撑地，提供前进的动力，女的用一个竹耙子来耙水控制方向，两个人配合的十分默契。这条河是湄公河的一条小支流，正逢当地的旱季，水不是很深，水流也不急，所以竹筏行的四平八稳。河两边尽是浓密和高大壮观的热带雨林树种，一眼望去满目的墨绿。由于只有我们一批游客漂流，所以河上异常的恬静，唯能听见小河潺潺的水声和林中不时传来的几声鸟儿的低吟。耙水的傣族少女向我们展示了傣族人民的好客，主动要为我们献歌。于是她和撑筏的傣族少年为我们唱上了当地的山歌。 “咿呀咿呀的”虽然我们听不懂在唱什么内容，但却十分的动听。我不禁舒展开身躯，闭上眼睛，静静的享受起身边的一切起来。和煦的阳光、芬芳而略带水气的空气、悦耳的山歌声以及绝美的热带雨林风光，谁能不为之陶醉呢？
“看，有人在河里洗澡”史诺比忽然叫到。我睁开眼望去，果然远处河里依稀有人影晃动。清澈的河水中，一位妙龄的傣族少女站立其中，幽雅地洗去身上的尘土，一副美妙的图画从我脑海中一闪而过，使我急切想去看个清楚。怎奈等竹筏缓缓靠近时，却发现是一位傣族老爹啊！耙水的傣族少女借机又为我们介绍到：傣族根据服装和生活特性分旱傣、水傣和花腰傣，而靠打渔为生，傍水而居的就是水傣，眼前的这位老爹就可能是水傣了。呵呵，原来还有这么个讲究啊！
一个多小时的漂流很快过去了，上岸后和其他团员会合后返回景洪。到了景洪已是七点多了，今天的晚餐是到景曼兰村尝傣味特色餐。餐厅很有当地特色，是露天的，当中搭建了一个舞台，我们被安排在一个外观类似于吊角楼的小亭子里，菜式基本上以冷菜为主，是当地的口味，酸的、甜的居多。其中一个竹筒菠萝饭香甜可口，最受欢迎，而其它的都比较一般，不太对味口，基本上吃两口就放弃了。导游小杨见我们很是浪费，不禁意味深长地对我们说：“你们知道吗？这里的居民只有在过年的时候才能吃到一次这样的饭菜啊！”说的我们都默不作声地又往嘴里塞了两口饭菜。 （哎！上海人在漫步衡山路，享受着精致而昂贵的西餐的同时，又有谁会想到这里的傣族同胞呢？）
舞台上开始有表演了，但没法和昨晚的篝火晚会比，我们自然无心多看，早早地起身返回宾馆。
一天的奔波，全团的人都早早的回房休息了，前些天精神还抖擞的陈姐也不例外。于是疯狂四人行从昆明到了景洪后就变成三人了，程哥、小施和俺。俺们三人上街后先是发现了一个游戏机厅，里面有许多老虎机，这在上海可是绝对禁止的赌博机啊！嘿黑，自然要赌上几把了。很长时间没玩了，一上手还真难放下，不知不觉竟玩了两三个钟头，一看表已经是快十一点了，出了游戏机房就听间不远处的隆隆音乐声，噢，是个迪厅。俺们三人饶有兴趣地走了进去，想考察一下西双版纳的迪厅。
一入内发现除了规模小一点外，里面的氛围还是和上海一样狂热的，少年少女们摇头晃脑混做一团。俺们三个自是不服老，也晃进舞池发泄起来。一阵摇头摆尾后，自然口干舌燥，到巴台去点饮料。小施摸出一百元叫巴台女招待取饮料，女招待乐吟吟地问道：“要些什么饮料？”小施也还以笑容：“全都买啤酒。”原以为这点钱按照上海的标准，买上三、四听啤酒就不错了，没想到这女招待“当、当、当……”一下子摆上十听。 （原来这啤酒只要10元一听啊！）
俺和程哥在上海很久没上迪厅了，再加上啤酒下肚，人又累又晕，只好坐在一边休息。小施则显然是此道中人，此时尽显风流倜傥之本色，与迪厅招待聊的火热，只是在俺和程哥地一再要求下，才悻悻地和俺们一起返回宾馆休息，而剩下五听啤酒没喝，只好寄在那了。
第五天了，今天要去橄榄坝和勐仑的植物园。一路上的风景倒十分秀丽，以至于我们到了橄榄坝上之后反倒十分失望，就是一个比较宽的乡间马路嘛！路边除了几个卖水果的老太之外，几乎难见什么美妙的景色。既然没什么景色就参观一下民寨吧！找了一所有代表性的吊角楼走了上去，也没啥特别的！最多只是感到这地方还不是很富裕而已。导游杨小姐为了不冷场，向我们提醒到：男性游客千万不要参观未婚少女的房间！按照当地习俗，男子看了未婚女子的闺房，则必须和该女子结婚的哟！我不禁暗自思索：还有这规矩？我还是赶快离开这是非之地比较好，万一弄了个丑媳妇回去，可怎么向女朋友交代啊！
离开橄榄坝，导游杨小姐继续为俺们介绍了些当地的民俗：原来当地的婚姻是流行入赘的，青年男子娶妻必须至女方家生活，而且前三年必须揽下家里所有的农活，劳动成果还要通过女方家人的认可后，才有可能继续留下。当然也有变通的办法，如果男子可以赤手空拳爬上十多米高的橄榄树，就可以不必辛苦劳作这三年了。无论是三年劳作也好还是爬橄榄树也好，傣族男子一旦通过认可正式入赘以后的生活是令人羡慕的。因为这时起，他将无须再参加劳作，而只是在家里带孩子和吃闲饭了。所以在经常可以看到这样的情况——女人们在田里辛苦的劳作着，而男人们则聚在一起悠然自得地聊着天、打着扑克牌。天生好命的傣族男人啊！
中午前，我们来到了葫芦岛上的勐仑热带植物园。和昨天勐腊的热带雨林植物园相比，这里显得太过于人为化了，不自然。园内热带植物的物种的确相当丰富，众多植物根据种类的不同分块而植。从啤酒树到榕树、接着到孔雀数、再到时钟花，令人目接不暇。不过最让我们感兴趣的还是一种叫跳舞草的植物，导游杨小姐召集我们围在跳舞草边，然后清勒清喉咙来了首节奏悠扬的情歌，果然跳舞草随着节拍缓缓扭动起身躯来。一时间，大家兴趣昂然地纷纷献上情歌。我自不甘落后，来了一曲摇滚郑钧的《赤裸裸》，“我的爱赤裸裸，我的爱…..爱赤裸裸”，很显然跳舞草从未试过如此强烈的节奏，愣在那里一动也不动了。
植物园很大，整整兜了一个下午才返回宾馆。大家吃完晚饭都纷纷早早睡去，小施又找来程哥商量把昨晚的五听存酒消灭掉。而我因为洗了两天的冷水澡，加上劳累过度，身体有些不适，也想早点休息了。于是疯狂四人组减员至两人。
半夜十一点多，小施和程哥乐呵呵地回来，原来他们除了到迪厅把那五听存酒喝了，还在游戏机房里玩老虎机赢了一把。哎，好赌，男人的天性啊！
第六天，俺们很早就起来了出发了，因为今天要过境去缅甸，路程遥远而且颠簸啊！途中我们来到景真八角亭，顾名思义就是有着八个角的彩色亭子，是佛教的建筑物。相传，这座八角亭是佛教徒们为纪念佛祖释迦牟尼，而仿照他戴的金丝台帽“卡钟罕”建筑的。八角亭的一边有个寺庙，庙门口三三两两站着些小和尚。原来傣族信奉小乘佛教，教义规定男性信徒都必须在少年时期到寺庙内修行一段时间。 （小时侯当和尚，大了上门入赘干三年苦活，之后又可闲居在家享福。这傣族男人的生活倒也是跌宕起伏，十分的精彩啊！）
为了不虚此行总得拍照留念啊！站在八角亭前，叫程哥为我拍上一张，还没按快门，几个身着少数民族服装的儿童涌了上来要与我合影，我自然不能拒绝了。谁知拍好之后，个个都伸出手来向俺要钱。呵，要给七八个人哪！好昂贵的照片啊！但又不能破坏少数民族同胞的感情，给就给吧！那个两元，这个五块，给的倒也爽快，只是可怜我这并不富裕的腰包了。
八角亭出口处前有些小贩，卖些吃的和杂货。小施看中了两个大银元，十元两个买了下来，他说上海的钱币市场要卖到百元一个呢！而程哥也淘到一只牛角，一百多块买了下来，到现在还没鉴别出真假来。小姐们则每人弄了个烤玉米，香喷喷的，吃得津津有味。
离开了八角亭后的路，越来越颠簸了，颠的你可以把昨晚的隔夜饭都吐出来。我本来就身体情况欠佳，这一颠就更焉了。其他人也好不了多少，个个晕头转向的，有的还取出晕车药服了起来。
迷迷糊糊，不知颠了多久，总算到了一个边陲小镇——打洛镇。先是到镇上开一个出境说明会，会场设在一个玉器店内。出境会解说员先向我们简要介绍了自己的身份，他竟是国民党残余部队的后裔，祖辈于解放战争时被“共军”（他口述的）驱逐至此，就地成家立业归了大统。不过从他左一个“共军”，右一个“共军”的话语中，我很是担心这小子的阶级立场是否仍顽固不化。
“国军”后裔接着又简单介绍了一些出境须知后，又问我们从何而来，我们答道：“上海。”“哎呀，上海人啊！我们所长可遇上同乡了”他忽然惊呼，然后忙不迭起身道：“我去把所长叫来。”不一会儿，黑黝黝的所长急步进来，热情的和我们打了招呼，然后滔滔不绝的介绍起他的身世来，大意是：他出生上海杨浦区，在那个非常的年代，不幸背景离乡来到这个边陲小镇支援建设，并在这里吃尽了人间苦难。终于等到了苦尽甘来，他在当上了干部，并自己搞了个玉器加工厂和开了个玉店，成了腰缠万贯的富翁。去年刚回上海看了家人，为他的父母买了一套几十万的商品房，还资助了他那些下了岗的兄弟姐妹。真是好一部感人至深的个人奋斗史。当然他还没忘了结束语：“你们要是看中我店里的玉器就来找我，都是老乡，绝对让你们舒服！”只可惜我们的包里的银两早花的差不多了，哪还买的起他店里个个都标价千元以上的玉器啊！
出门后，上了旅游车，史诺比忽然跑上来说了一件事：原来她前面去了洗手间，而落在我们的后面。正好又来了一批东北的客人，结果那位“国军”后裔，又向他们推荐了另外一位“东北”所长，还是一番老乡长老乡短的，再加上句“你们要是看中我店里的玉器就来找我，都是老乡，绝对让你们爽啊！” 哎！这叫俺们说什么好呢！
出境前，先得把饭吃了，不用问，这里的就餐条件更差了。大家随便弄了几口饭便收拾好行装出发了。
到了中国的海关前，竟然遇上堵车，大概是因为前面的车辆出境手续不齐的缘故。等了许久，总算轮到我们了，出关前要检查身份证，可小陆只带了护照。尽职的边防战士坚持只有身份证才能出关，而不肯放行。导游杨小姐无奈之下使出美人计，拉着一个当官的套近乎，不料竟被骂了个狗血喷头回来。情急之下，搬来救兵——她的好友，打洛镇派出所所长的女儿。怎料到解放军战士铁面无私，纵使皇亲国戚在前，也一概不认。所长女儿自觉脸上无光，又带着俺找她爹去，可惜今天是星期天，所长值完半天早班后就没了踪影。这下可真是叫天天不应，叫地地不灵了。还好最后关头，小陆决定牺牲自己保全大家，放弃出境在中国海关等我们回来。这才使得俺们其他人终于成行了。
过了中国海关是一块自由贸易区，导游小杨招呼我们下车去看独木成林。独木成林其实是一棵古榕树，据说有九百多年的树龄，它的主杆上敷生出许多根来也插入了土中，看上去像一排树，再加上树高足有七十多米，确实看起来十分的壮观，但是好像还谈不上“林”。
围着这“林”绕了一圈，周围尽是些小贩邀你过去拍照，道具无非是民族服装、孔雀、蟒蛇等，觉得没有什么游兴，便上了巴士。这时又有小贩上来兜售甘蔗、水煮花生和香蕉，都是极便宜的，一两块钱就能买上许多。甘蔗很甜，水分也足，划算。水煮花生也蛮香的，特别是在我们中饭没吃好的情况下是不错的食品。香蕉虽然一元一大串，但个很小，而且味道一般，没意思。
在中缅边境休整片刻后，进入了缅甸海关，缅甸的海关大门好像是敞开的，根本不对我们这些入境者进行检查，我们很顺利地就进去了。
由于在中国海关浪费了很多时间，我们不得不压缩一下行程，比如人妖表演就不去看了（因为缅甸的人妖都是泰国那里退休后过来的，人老珠黄，一定很丑），再比如成人秀也不去了（那么多女同事在，叫俺们咋好意思开口），大耳族和长颈族是忍痛割爱的（实在是时间来不及了）。
可以就近去的是大金塔，一座外观看上去金碧辉煌的佛塔，建在缅甸边境的一座山坡上，是缅甸著名的佛教建筑。想入塔看看，被告之要脱鞋，而进去之后女宾还不能登塔，只能从下往上抬头瞻仰佛像。原来小乘佛教是不允许女人站在比佛祖高的地方的低头看佛祖的，否则是对佛祖的不敬。而为了声援女同胞们的合法权益，俺和程哥、小施也放弃登塔和大家一起撤出金塔。
金塔门口有卖甘蔗汁，加上冰块，十分好喝，大家都弄上了一杯。接着是去看卧佛，卧佛在大金塔的不远处，，体积大致相当于一幢三层楼的别墅。参拜一下卧佛后，来了十二个小和尚，一对一的叫我们抽上一签。我随手一抽，里面大意我也看得懂，大致是命里得贵人相助时，则一帆风顺吧！应该是个上签。而我身边的小和尚则上前拉着我到一边低声道：“施主，您抽是上签，烧上一柱香，答谢一下佛祖吧！”我一摸口袋，兜里没多少钱了，忧心的问到：“多少钱？”“您就来柱这个吧！”小和尚顺手抄起一把有棒球棒那么粗的香道：“二百七！心诚的话可以烧两把！”我心头不禁一颤，暗暗思索：从少年懂事起，俺也在天主教和佛教之间徘徊过一阵子，最后还是决定跟着比较有本土特色的佛祖走。可今天兜里也就剩下二百来块钱了，这明天的日子还不知道怎么过呢！哎，也只好委屈这的卧佛一下了，等俺回到上海一定到玉佛寺多烧上几柱五元一把的香，以谢佛祖。下定决心，就向小和尚笑了笑，尴尬地摇了摇头。小和尚见罢，知道我是个没钱的主，说了句：“出家人不强人所难，施主自便！”掉头走了。程哥和陈姐家中世代笃信佛教，加上今天都抽了个上上之签，自是满心欢喜的烧上几柱平安香，还觉的意犹未尽，又找了边上一个满脸长须，看上去颇有道行的老和尚详细地解了签，不用说袋中银两花去不少。小施抽的也是上签，不过他和俺一样，也是囊中羞涩，没有去烧香。说来也邪，渡蜜月的小夫妻俩竟双双抽到下下之签，显然令他们十分光火，“什么骗人的东西啊！”骂骂咧咧地拂袖而去。
离开卧佛后，前往禁毒馆，内有大量缅甸禁毒的史实资料，参观之后对这个国家有了更多的了解：原来这个贫瘠的山地之国，却是种植罂粟的最佳土壤（相同的国家还有阿富汗），把罂粟种子一撒，不需要要去打理，就能长出茂盛的罂粟花来。因此过去这里的人民几乎都以鸦片为生，不光种鸦片卖钱养家，还自己吸食。不用问，当然是越种鸦片家里越穷，国家越破败了。还好，缅甸的国家领导人及时调整国策，在伟大的中华人民共和国的全力帮助下开始禁毒（援引解说员的话）。经过了多年的艰苦奋斗，禁毒获得了巨大的成功，1996年金三角最大的毒枭坤沙向政府缴械投降。现在缅甸的经济主要依靠农产品和矿石的开采，并在对华贸易中获得了很大的优惠，像今天我们游览的这个地区叫勐拉市，主要由中国援建的，是缅甸的对外开放的城市之一。站在禁毒馆的大门前，可以饱览勐拉市的全景，这里的城市建设还及不上景洪哩！看样子缅甸的富强，还有十分漫长的道路要走啊！
返回祖国之前先要到两个购物点，先是玉器店，店内有许多当地加工的缅玉，工艺并不差，质地也很好，价格标到几万和几十万的都有，不过你别被吓倒，因为你可以随意还价到几百甚至几十元。 （唯一可以解释的是这些高昂的标价或许是指缅币吧！）俺忍不住为女朋友又带了一块弥罗佛的挂缀，才三十五元，质地还不错呢！令人惊奇的是俺竟从店员（一位面目慈祥的老太太）的口中听到了熟悉的乡音——上海话，原来当时有许多知青难以忍受在西双版纳的艰苦生活，纷纷越境到缅甸寻求新生。因此在靠近中国的缅甸境内随处可听见中国的各类地方的语种。一种莫名的感觉忽然升上心头，作为知青子女一分子的俺（俺小时候随父亲在新疆住过三年），一直难以体会到父辈那个时代的艰辛（在新疆时我还小不懂事），难道竟艰苦的要到离弃自己的祖国吗？还是祖国先舍弃了他们呢？
接下来的购物点是一个超市，里面有各类特色食品和香烟。这里的香烟价格便宜的惊人，中华才买100元一条（上海350），特醇三五70元一条（上海150），黑三五70元一条（上海没有卖的），大熊猫200元一条（上海650）。程哥买了条熊猫（回去给亲友品尝后，说真说假的都有，总之真假难辩了），小夫妻俩买了条国内还没有的黑三五（小施却在旁边嘀咕：不光国内没有，好像国际上也没听说过有黑三五。）我也买了点当地的米饼，带回去给家人品尝，大家一致反映还没家门口卖的葱油饼好吃！
返回到缅甸海关前，已近傍晚时分，依旧十分顺利地通过了。但好不容易出次国，大家总要留点纪念。于是一起下车，在缅甸海关前留影纪念，缅甸海关前有很大的大象石雕，非常有特色，值得留念。不远处还有界碑，可惜排队拍照的络绎不绝，俺们就不去凑这个热闹了。拍完照大家上车回国。中国海关前又是一番例行检查后，终于回到了祖国的土地上。先要去接小陆，来到边检站的小楼旁，见到小陆正斜坐在院子里的一个藤椅上，而许多年轻的解放军战士正围着小陆乐呵呵的聊着天，看样子我们的“过气美女”在这里很受欢迎呢！ （是不是这里的美女太少了啊！我都有些怀疑刚才战士们扣留小陆的目的了）由于时候不早，我们不得不打断小陆和边防战士们投机的谈话。小陆只得依依不舍地同边防战士们告别，还不忘责怪我们一句“你们怎么去了那么久才回来啊！”可她脸上的表情分明是快乐和兴奋的，看来陪边防战士们聊天也是个很不错的旅游项目哩！
回景洪的路上又是一路的颠簸，我已经可以理解为什么西双版纳的旅费不菲的原因了，不说机票价格的高企，就是这车辆的折旧费也的确不少啊！还好这时大家都累的够呛了，任由路上坎坷崎岖，纷纷都闭上眼打起瞌睡来。除了中途大家释放一下水分之外，车就没有再停过。昏昏沉沉的，不知过了多久终于到了宾馆，已是快九点钟了。
凑合着对付了一顿晚饭，大多数人都早早睡去，程哥和小施依旧保持旺盛的精力，俺好像也有所恢复，三个人有合计着找个什么地方吃点什么。一摸口袋，坏了！咋三个人身上的钱加在一起不过寥寥百余元，明天还有一天要过呐！赶忙出了宾馆找银行刷卡，可这时才发现景洪竟然没有交通银行和建设银行（也或许是俺们没有找到，可程哥和小施用的都是龙卡和太平洋卡啊！）连走了几条街忽然看到了一家农业银行，我们立刻如同得到了救命稻草一般，哈哈，我身上有张农行办的卡啊！里面还有2000多银子，到这种边远地区还真得办张农行的卡啊！可一阵狂喜之后而来的是刺骨的寒意，我的卡竟拉不出钱来。程哥拿过卡去一端详，不禁叹气道：“哎，你自己办的卡也不搞搞清楚，看，上面有〈只限上海地区使用〉的字样啊！”咳！瞧我这马大哈！就在陷入绝境之时，忽然风回路转，因为小施想起他身上还有一万日圆。立刻找了家三星级酒店，把日圆换了，大家手头上又多了六百多元的资金。 （从此之后，程哥身上总备着一百美金，问其原因，答曰：“以备不时之需！”）
换完钱以后，已是深夜，景洪的街头冷冷清清，找不到什么地方吃饭了，只得饿着肚子返回宾馆睡觉了。
第七天是在云南的最后一天了，先是去西双版纳原始森林公园（三位阿姨今天离团单独活动，去其中一位阿姨曾经插队过的大勐龙寻旧）。公园离景洪很近，进去后感觉蛮有特色的。公园门口有动物表演，大家纷纷驻足观看，有人牵了只黑熊跑到观众席上来，让大家与熊合影，五元钱一位。小施饶有兴趣的和黑熊作了几个造型，俺看着黑熊爬在他肩上张着血盆大口委实替他捏了一把汗。
公园门口有专车可送大家到森林区，到了森林区入口处，有人弄来一头大像正在招徕着拍照的生意，二十元一位，可将照片制作成单页的年历。于是大家纷纷排队留影，如果想留个好造型的话，还可花两块钱买段甘蔗逗引一下这头老象。
顺着竹片铺成的小路，就可以进入原始森林了。森林的开放规模很小，看了不过瘾，倒是有项森林秋千的活动非常刺激。这是在几十米高的树藤上搭建的简易秋千，双人和单人各一个。游客上了秋千后，两个身强体壮的工作人员立刻会来把秋千推得老高，让你在充满神秘色彩的森林的高空中飞来荡去的，有胆小的女游客上去后，立马脸色苍白大声喊停，更有甚者（小夫妻俩中的那个马脸女）当场就吓得哭出声来。看到前面那些女游客的惨像，天生胆小的俺自然放弃了此项活动。
公园中除了原始森林外，还有根据孔雀公主的故事大意而建的孔雀湖，湖边放养着各类孔雀百余只，颇为壮观，不远出的林子里有王子偷窥和仙女们沐浴等造型的雕像，栩栩如生。当我们回到公园门口的时候，路上几只放养的孔雀突然赏脸地开起屏来，让俺们着实惊喜了一下。不知是谁喊了一声“老虎！”俺立刻警觉地环视了一下四周，果然不远处的草坪上竟懒懒地躺着一只大老虎，四周没有任何障碍物，也不见饲养员的踪迹。 Alas!这老虎也敢放养啊！这公园的管理人员真是够胆大呀！为防老虎忽然发作，大家立刻迅速上车离开这是非之地。
下一站是曼听公园，但为时还早，导游杨小姐向俺们推荐了一个自费景点——猴山。猴山在澜沧江的对面，要乘缆车上去，是不太为外地游客所知的景点，票价不贵，二十元一位（含缆车费）。这里的缆车是绝好的观景点，除了能看到非常壮美的江景外，还能远眺景洪的市容，真是美不胜收！
上了猴山后，有解说员带领我们参观，这里的猴品种不少，有长臂的、有袖珍的、有怪脸的，而且有些猴子还是放养的，有一只非常可爱的小猴还翻出笼子，跟在俺们后面拣俺们丢弃的食物吃。其中最引人注目的是一只白猴，该猴全身上下的毛色均为纯白，十分奇特。听解说员讲：这种白猴其实是一种病变，就好像人类的“白化病”。目前世界上的已发现的白猴不超过十只，而这猴山上的这只就是其中之一，属于绝对濒危的物种。可惜眼前的这只白猴已经得了癌症，活不了多久了。
猴山上有棵古树，长得极高大、极茂盛，树下有口井，井边有个老爹守侯着。老爹告诉我们这口井非常的神奇，凡长饮此井水并用之洗脸者皆身体健康，耳聪目明，而边上这棵参天大树正是靠此井水而生长的。既然如此神奇，自要享用一番，花一元钱向老爹买了个一次性杯子，再借他的水勺盛了一杯井水。先吸了一小口在嘴里含着，平淡而略有涩感，再喝了一大口，没有什么异样。把剩下的全抹在了眼睛上，果然有些清凉之感，心想：要是俺能在这住上一阵子，没准能把俺的近视眼给治好了。
下了猴山，在当地的一家三星级酒店吃了一顿还算可口的告别餐，就再起身前往曼听公园。曼听公园不大，门口有租借孔雀服饰拍照的。陈姐硬拉着程哥借了一套白色的孔雀裙，在草地上摆开了造型，颇有些白孔雀的味道。人家小两口享受天伦之乐，我自不便多打扰，找来小施去看民族舞蹈表演去了。大概在两点多的时候，泼水活动开始了。地点是在公园门口的广场上，广场周围是一圈水槽，里面蓄着水。数十名身着傣族服装的青年男女散在广场上，各个手持着两个水碗。有工作人员将几十个水碗丢到广场边上的游客群中，招呼大家进场泼水。有不识大局者，傻乎乎的拿着两个水碗跑到水槽边想取水泼人，还没能等他靠近水槽，那些场内的少数民族同胞一起将水泼向了他，顿时就成了落汤鸡。他的同伴见他吃亏，拿了水碗就上前助阵。可那些傣族的同胞可都是久经沙场的老手，迅速的组成战斗队型分布到水槽边占领了水源。可怜那些游客们刚一靠近水槽就被一碗碗凉水浇了个透心凉。有勇敢无谓者终于冲进场内，盛上两碗水浇向一个傣族少女，未等他感受到胜利的喜悦，前后左右无数碗水劈头盖脸地泼了过来，好不狼狈，他见势不妙撒腿就跑，两个傣族少年拿着水碗一阵猛赶，足足追出场外二三十米。
俺们一行人见战斗如此惨烈，吓得都跑到广场边的餐饮部，找凳子坐下，做起了看客。只有我一人看得童心萌动，难得来此一次，不泼实在可惜，于是悄悄一人跑到场边乘人不备拣了两个水碗，然后再跑到不远处洗手间灌了两碗水，再一路小跑到场边，大约离广场十米远的地方照准了场内最凶悍的一个傣族青年就是一记大力发炮，那青年还没弄明白水是从哪浇来的，我就已经又跑回洗手间灌水了。众游客见状大受鼓舞，纷纷效仿俺的做法加入战局，洗手间的水池前立刻排起了长队。一时间形势大为改观，形成了场外游客“围攻”场内傣族同胞的局面。呵呵，一场泼水活动演变成了傣族青年对抗全国游客的“泼水大战”。
泼水活动结束后，俺们又逛了一圈曼听公园，公园不大但有一个孔雀苑给俺印象颇佳，苑内放养着无数只孔雀，花二元钱买一碗饲料，然后进去一撒，就看那些孔雀一下子就涌了上来，围在我的身边。被孔雀追啊！这种感觉真良好！
离开曼听公园，时间还早，在俺们的一再要求下，导游杨小姐带俺们去了景洪的一家银饰店，俺在这里花光了剩下的银两，买了两条精美的银手链和一个银戒指带回上海。银饰店后面有条步行街，蛮繁华的，大家都来到街旁的一家冷饮店坐下点上些冰淇淋，特便宜，一杯牛奶冰淇淋只卖一元五角，虽然味道可哈根达斯相去甚远，但在比较落后的景洪这已是一种享受了。
终于要回家了，冷饮店休息了片刻后，大家整理行装，赶往机场。在机场和前去大勐龙的三位阿姨们回合了，问了问她们情况如何，只见那位曾经在大勐龙渡过青春年华的阿姨激动地说：“我见到了，见到了他们，我们的大队长还认出我了啊！”之后便不能自已地不知道说些什么了。 Hey!那个时代给多少人在心灵上留下了难以磨灭的烙印啊！ （前些日子，我奶奶去世了，临终时还在叨念着发生在那个时代而难以忘却的往事。如果卧佛有灵，俺祈求那个时代的事不要在重演！）
七点多，飞机起飞了，用完了上航难吃的机上晚餐，疲劳的俺呼呼睡去，梦里又重游那四季如春的昆明和风景如画的西双版纳…….
“飞机即将着落，请大家系好安全带。”上航空少生硬的声音把俺吵醒，一看表十点多了。下了机，望着现代而整洁的浦东机场，使我回到了熟悉的生活环境，女朋友在出口处焦急地向俺招着手。此时把现代而喧嚣的上海和落后但闲适、质朴的西双版纳同时摆在我面前叫我选择的话，我真的会手足无措的……..
