Jingong

DSCN3777 DSCN3781

Jingong looked so different from the rest of the Yunan province.  It had a lot of influence from Southeast Asia (which makes sense since it is so close to laos, thailand, vietnam and berma. We got to see the night market set up. It was interesting to see how everything was brought in.

Although we saw a little bit of Jingong we spent a lot of time at the cafe.  It was time to chill but also to  figure out if we wanted to go to laos which ended up deciding we definitely were going to do. The owner of the cafe bought us our bus tickets so we could leave the next morning.

Before going to laos, we decided we should buy some snacks at the grocery store. Grocery stores are awesome. the candy section is ridiculous.

But the candy section is not as awesome as the baker section. I wish Chinese bakeries were more popular in america.

Jingong was so close/remote from the rest of China that Chinese characters were sometimes hard to find. English signs were out of the picture.
