    That is just for Vermont students. For everyone else at YNNU winter break will be from Jan 10 until March 3, give or take a few days depending on your final exam schedule. Obviously this doesn't apply to those studying one-on-one, where your schedule is taylored to whatever you want it to be.

    Sounds awesome, count me in. I've been looking to play more board games lately, plus I also have Settlers of Catan + expansion that I can add to the games pool. agwright@gmail.com

    From Baoshan to Gongshan by bus I would say 10 hours or so (I'm not quite sure since I didn't go thru Baoshan). If you hire a vehicle however you could probably shave a few hours off of that. From Gongshan to Dimaluo it'll be half hour to the bridge and then you'll most likely have to hike 2 hours along a dirt road to the village. If you have an off-road vehicle you might be able to make it to the village depending on whether they're repairing the road or not. Best thing to to is call Alou and ask him.

    Side trips, on the way to Baoshan / Liuku check out Yunlong and Nuodeng, great spots for hikes and interesting cultural experiences. Inside the Nujiang valley, spend a few days in Bingzhongluo or since you have a car, head north from Bingzhongluo to the Tibetan border just to check it out. The scenery north of Bingzhongluo is unrivaled. Have fun!

  • Forums > Living in Kunming > Board Games Anyone?
    

    Hello,

    My family back home just sent me a package containing my favorite boardgame: Settlers of Catan; if you've never played it I highly recommend you try. I played a few rounds with some friends and remembered how much I love playing games. So, if anyone is interested in some Settlers or other games (I'm also a huge Ma Jiang fan) send me an email agwright@gmail.com.

    I highly recommend the Nujiang. I went there in early February and trekked as you'd like to do from the Nujiang to the Mekong (Lancang) river. It was extraordinary. There was snow when I went but it was perfectly hikeable, there should be even less if you go in May. I'd recommend going thru Alou, a local Tibetan guide in the Nujiang area who runs a guide service and a guesthouse http://www.geocities.com/aloudekezhan

    The only vehicular road that was snowbound when I went was the road into the Dulong valley...in May it should be clear. If you want a really epic trip, try there

    Fabulous. Perhaps the best western food I've had in Kunming. My girlfriend and I shared a nice fresh tasty salad with a zesty dressing, pork braised in a red wine sauce, and homemade pesto pasta. Blueberry panacotta for dessert. All exquisite, in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. I will definitely go back.
