Ch-ch-ch-changes
I left Mama Naxi's with a couple of questions. Why did she own a brand knew dirt bike? and why did Papa Naxi own numchucks？My imagination can only begin to wrap itself around those questions.
I'm in Zangdian, which officially changed its name to Shangrila two years ago. The town is at an elevation of about 12000ft and is a Tibetan community. There are Lama temples everywhere and the old town is actually an old town. I'm staying in a 130year old building that used to be the largest building in town, but is now on the smaller side. I've been lucky enough to make friends with a girl from Chengdu who speaks excellent english. She has been showing me around and I has convinced me its worth spending a couple of extra days here. The scenery is amazing and I'm enjoying a city off the tourist tract.
I extended my visa by a month, and may not be traveling to Laos. Laos sounds great, but I'm starting to wonder if I want to go for the right reasons. Really, I'm reminded each day how many places there are and how impossible it would be to see all of them.
I will publish pictures of the hotel I'm staying at when I have the chance.

I'm dismayed to see that your spelling and syntax seem to be getting progressively worse with each passing day in China. Is it the dearth of English speakers? Are you falling out of practice already? Sigh. It also annoys me that this site automatically decapitalizes my name, but am enjoying the posts nonetheless.
