9/23/2012


After being sick the last couple of days I am going to be getting back on the road tomorrow.  I arrived in Mengzi a couple of days ago with a fever and some other ailments.  I hope I have rested enough to kick whatever has been bothering me.  Still not 100%, but I am bored to hell in this little town and my Chinese tourist visa is getting ready to expire.              
      Mengzi is actually a pretty nice town, except that it is located in the middle of nowhere with nothing around it.  For a small Chinese town this means there is little to do.  The other strange thing about it is there are no bicycles.  Everything is motorized.  I have only been able to find one bicycle store in town, despite being dozens of motorcycle and motorbike shops.  An abberation for China.
        From here to the border should be two days about 120-150k of lots of up and down.  I am ready to move on, I just hope my body is as well.
