Diary of a CEO

Kunming

I dream about Kunming for many years, didn't think hard ( the book I read on the plane -- Learning Journey cause me think hard, a very inspiring book ), but a fantasy of rare-seen tribes and warm hospitality, today, I make it to Kunming, a combine business and lesuire trip.

Taking the 9:00 am flight out to HK, transfer to Dragonair number 760 departed by 12:00 noon from HK, our plane landed 10 minutes earlier than schedule - the exact flight time is one hours and fifty minutes, I falling asleep on both journey, the nap contribute to my lack of sleeping these days - it recall me of Mr. Chun who told me he can't sleep in Taiwan when his daughter pass away, he must travelling, to other places for making up the sleep. I am not the case, but to have some sleep on the plane is luxury to me.

Reading the mentors learning jounery is a great finding, such as " When teach, what do the audience learn? " The to learn and to do blance "" The best way to learn is to teach " and the story of " Toll station dancer ", " Don't quote, be you, think out of yourself, not someone else "the sharing of these coaching guru hit me hard, like thunders , I really grow from the experience they share.

Mark and Wu - the owner of the wineary -- the purpose of my visit , they are busy in meeting for Alasan at Beijing, I arrived early, a free day for myself, Miss Che - secretary to Mr. Wu greeting me at the airport and drove me to the hotle - Empark Grand Hotel, this is a brand new hotel, in the middle of old Kunming and new Kunming, a newly developed area, check in by 3 pm, I use the Spa facility and learn the local culture, heading for the old town around 5 oclock, cause I am hungry, the concigire show the taxi driver where I am heading - the legenary landmark of Kunming -- Golden Horse and Jade Chicken, I spoke to the taxi driver and find out that this Kunming old town exist for 1000 more years, consisit with 5 millions people, a travelling city so to speak, the Stone Forest, Lake Dien and GHJC, are famous tourist spot in town.

I tried my first Yunnan cusine at a well-decorate restaurant, it reflect to the old Chinese Garden, order 4 dishes, a flied pork, fried toufu with spicy source, vegetable bowl and rice noodle, it's a little bit spicy but delicious, the meal cost me 43 RMB only ( 200 NT ),then I stroke around the GHJC square, a non-licenced street performance singing Karaoka with crowd circles, there are 2 man singing, one is a handicap - with one hand and one leg only, it recall me to A-Gi, who do the same in Taiwan, 2 senior citizen at their 60's flying kite, so high, it must be there habit for years. then I discovered a bullavad, this probablly is the wall of the old town, the trees shake hands in the air, so beautiful, I can't help myslef walking under the tree shadow.

this is my first day in Yunam, first impression about Kunming.
