Kunming Until Wednesday - We Think

We have been having fun in Kunming but the government doesn't like for us tourist to stay longer than 30 days at a time, so we have to vacate the country by next Friday or be subject to a healthy fine.
Also, trying to sort thru stuff that we left stored here when we left in April. Dave managed to give away/sell/barter all of our furniture after we left so we're down to files and clothes and knick knacks and books and books and a few more books. Books are heavy. Books make the cost of shipping go up and up. That does not make us smile.
Looks like we'll be flying to Hong Kong on Wednesday and hang out there for a few days.

Hearts and Hands

Jane has been assisting a Hearts and Hands for over six years while we were living in Kunming China and is continuing to help spread the word whenever she can. They provide jobs and skills for the deaf. Sadly, in China, The deaf are abandoned once their disability is discovered or are treated as totally useless in society. Hearts and Hands has had a long struggle but they have provided many sewing and carpentry jobs for many deaf and disabled in Kunming and you can view some of their products on their website by clicking Here.
