Weddings at the Kunming Hotel


August 11th
Pictured above is a decorated Chinese Wedding car. We arrived at the hotel in the late afternoon during one of the weddings. The Kunming Hotel with its beautiful lobby, had at least 4 weddings during our 2 nights stay. The rooms looked nice but our tub did not drain so only one of us could take a bath each day. The room had the typical hard Chinese beds, and very little AC and unfortunately the “eternal spring” Yunnan Province was having a hot spell.

That afternoon we walked around town and found a western restaurant. It featured Italian, Mexican, and Chinese food (cooks were Chinese, owner was English speaking). I had pizza, which was pretty good. Cathy decided to try the lasagna, which she said tasted like hamburger helper.
