We arrived in Kunming 45 minutes early at 5.15, so I had to re-assemble the bike in the dark – the chain had somehow turned in the derailleur, so it took a moment before I figured out how to get it right. Despite the bumpy and curvy road, luckily nothing was damaged. Fifteen people standing around watching (and commenting on) this “da bizi” (meaning “big nose” – the Chinese saying for foreigners) working; in China all Caucasians attract attention and curiosity wherever they go, do, say, etc. While waiting for sunrise, I ate my last bread and bananas for breakfast.
