Ausfahrt durch die Reisterrassen // Yuanyang // Yunnan Provinz // China Am ersten Tag in Yuanyang ging es mit Auto zu verschiedenen Aussichtspunkten. Die Inhaberin des Gasthauses hatte einen Fahrer für den ganzen Tag organisiert (ca. 30 EUR + Eintritt in den „Nationalpark“). Bedauerlicherweise konnte der Fahrer kein Englisch. Erstes Ziel war der Sonnenaufgang in Dounyiah, was ca. 25 km von Xinjie entfernt liegt. Nur leider war es früh so sehr bewölkt bzw. neblig, dass die Sonne nicht zu sehen war. Auf der Rückfahrt ging es zu verschiedenen Aussichtspunkten, wo jedoch die Sicht leider nicht wirklich besser wurde, sowie zum Wochenmarkt nach Bada. Nach einer verlängerten Mittagspause ging es um 15.00 Uhr wieder zurück zu den Reisterrassen. Zwischenzeitlich war der Neben verschwunden und es zeigt sich eine unvergessliche Sicht in die Täler mit endlosen Reisterrassen, in der sich das Licht im Wasser spiegelte.

Wochenmarkt in Bada (Yuanyang) // Yunnan Provinz // China Mitten in den Reisterrassen in dem kleinen Dorf Bada gab es einen ziemlich großen Wochenmarkt, auf dem es vor allem eine große Auswahl an frisch zerlegtem Schwein gab. Neben Gans und Huhn wurde auch Tofu und frische Bananen, die nicht der Europäischen Bananenverordnung entsprechen, aber dennoch schmecken, verkauft Auch konnte traditionelle Kleider der Yi´s erworben werden. Und sonst eigentlich alles was man braucht oder auch nicht braucht.

I saw Coriolanus on the 27th and afterwards had the great luck of coming eye to eye with Tom Hiddleston and it was a funny, confusing but ultimately very sweet moment.

A friend of mine who is very sick had asked me to take pictures of awesome places and people while in London holding up or wearing a button of his that he'd had taken to different places. So when it became clear that I would be going to see Coriolanus and that there might be a chance of Tom coming out afterwards I decided to try and get a picture of Tom holding up the button for my friend. And that was basically my only goal. I was quite focused on that so when I stepped in front of Tom and he started by asking my name and how I was and how I'd liked the play I was a bit flustered and very very sleep-deprived (I'd been awake for 36 hours because I'd stood in line since 1:30 am, straight from the airport basically) and well he confused me. I think I answered something like, I'm fine and the play was awesome, but I'm not sure anymore. (The play was FANTASTIC!!! Favourite Shakespeare production now, and it's taken four years for a production to kick King Lear of its top spot on my list). 

Anyway, Tom then pulled up the pen and asked whether I wanted something to be signed, and I said 'no'. probably quite forcefully; which confused him. 

I explained about my friend and the button and the photo and he agreed to do it: "Sure, let's do this!" were his words. So I took the picture, he asked whether it was alright, and I said yes. 

And then he adorably asked me whether I wanted anything else and he still seemed a little confused. I asked him for a hug and I got one and then he wished all the best for my friend and that he'll hopefully get better, and I quickly said thank you and goodbye. I didn't want to start crying in front of everybody. 

Lovely man, amazing play, amazing performance of everybody and I can't wait to see my friend's face when he sees the picture!! (hasn't happened yet*g* but soon)

p.s. I felt bad for the security guy, he's got such a tough job, but he's holding up alright.
