Ok, unless you had a misdirected youth affected by Southpark you won't undestand that title...
Mum has just left moments ago for the airport to begin her long journey home. Traveling with her has been awesome. Thanks for coming mum! I head off just now to catch a train to Kunming in Yunnan province further south. The train ride is 17-18hrs and then I still have to catch a 5hr bus ride to Dali. Ouch.
Yesterday mum and I headed out to the Panda Breeding Centre just outside Chengdu. It was really special. I remember having panda duvet covers as a kid. The chinese for panda, xiong mao, actually translates as "bear cat". Its a good description; they look like bears but act like cats, playing around constantly, when not eating bamboo of course. I wish we could have spent more time there just watching.

See? Just like big kitties!
We spent the afternoon exporing one of the Zen Buddhist temples nearby and had lunch in their vegetarian restaurant. Don't tell anyone but I actually enjoyed it! Some evening window shopping led us to our strangest dinner yet, a traditional Sichuan snack meal comprises of oddities such as eyeball soup and ducks necks... lucky I wasn't hungry.
