Snowing in the “Spring City 春城 ”, Kūnmíng 昆明 , China — February 2004

I have to admit, I underestimated how cold Asia could be. And after two freezing months in Japan and China, I am eagerly awaiting my time in Kūnmíng — the Sunshine City, with its alleged year-round moderate weather. Well, mother nature decided to play a trick on me and this is what I find in Kūnmíng: The first snowstorm in two years. The locals go crazy with snowball fights and snow-people.
