Wednesday, D-Day

Greetings,

You are about to virtually join me on my five week Asian Odyssey and beyond. No pretense intended. As a blog reflects one's thoughts, so too does it reflect his work ethos - disorganized and last minute!!! I'm leaving for the airport in 10 minutes, so the journey, if not begun long ago, starts here and now.

First leg of the trip - Seoul to Incheon airport by bus, then fly to Kunming, China.

Kunmoi? Yes, type it in Google Earth. It's the capital of the Yunnan province in Southern China. The region, unlike all the major cities we've come to know in the news and whatnot, is the rural underbelly of the China juggernaut - home to dozens of undermentioned indigenous groups, surreal landscapes, as well as the gateway to the ancient Silk Road, Tibet and India.

Follow me down the rabbit hole. Here we go!
