I decided to take a daytime bus back to the city of Kunming since the scenery is so good. It didn’t work out that perfectly when I sat down in my assigned seat and noticed my window was nearly fogged over. The bus was completely full too, so I had no choice but sit there. I left at 10:30AM and arrived at about 8PM. Half way through, everyone got off the bus for a free meal. Not a good meal, but a free one. Now I’m thinking last time I took a long bus in China I missed the free meal, I just stayed on the bus.
I was dropped off at the West Bus Station, not the long distance bus station. I didn’t know how to get to the hostel from here. There were some taxi drivers, I asked if they have a meter, they said no. I hate taxi drivers, so I decided to walk even though their prices were pretty good. I found the bus station on the map and walked, but got a little lost. I wondered into a travel agency and they showed me where I was on the map. From there I was able to get to the hostel. Later I found out why I got lost. I was looking at the wrong bus station on the map!
