I've chosen to use frames and Frontpage - something I would normally avoid like the plague - for my travellog, not because I'm schizophrenic, but because I want to get this to you as quickly as possible, and because I want you to be able to read the text and see the pictures in an organized way, without frantically clicking through popups or getting dizzy from all the pictures peppered throughout the text. All links, which will mainly be pictures, will open on the right, and the text will come through this frame. Both are fully resizeable, so do whatever you want that feels comfortable.

Kunming is the capital city of Yunnan, China. It is on highlands some 2 km above sea level. I'm sorry I can't provide much information on the city as our guide lapsed into Putonghua every now and then and I have a tendency to tune out whenever that happens. But if you want more, feel free to do a Google search on it - I'm sure something interesting will turn up.

Many of the photos in these little albums are linked from the log text, but when you're done with that, feel free to explore them and see what you missed. Almost every photo has its own caption. Some albums, such as 'Bins' and 'Signs', haven't been linked to at all. You might want to check those out first.
