I was just out buying erkuai and a couple of guys walked past and exclaimed, “it’s Paris!“. I wonder if they were implying Kunming’s dusktime ambiance is reminiscent of the French capital, or if they were noting that I share my ethnicity and hair colour with the Hilton hotel heiress? Neither are terribly accurate observations. Amusing none the less.

The other day, I passed a girl on the street with “HERPES” in huge, sequined letters on her T-shirt. I’m gutted I didn’t have my camera with me.
