Day 35 - Kunming to Ghaungzhou last overnight train!!
This morning Dad had us up at 6.30am as he wanted to go back to Dong Feng Square to see the locals dance and do tai-chi. The square was full of elderly people dancing individually in groups or in partners. There were many people doing thai0chi some to music and some to the own rhythm. We wandered around the square and settled on a bench near some people chanting in a group, it took Mum and us a little while to realize they were practicing English! A man would read out some motivational statements in English and then the group would repeat. He noticed us watching and approached us and asked if we would come and take the class for a while. So Mum and Dad took it in turns to read out some of their passages for them to repeat. The people were so excited and so thankfully to us for having helped them with their English. We headed back to the hotel for breakfast, a shower and to pack our bags for our last overnight train!!
