I moved to the Birds Nest yesterday evening and took a couple of snaps. It is extremely basic, but a couple of the people there speak English and it seems to attract interesting and relaxed people, maybe because the atmosphere is really laid back.
The place is also higher up the hill at the western end of the town, so there are good views to the mountains beyond. It was perfectly still last night and I slept brilliantly. At less than four pounds a night, this is great. (Dali 2 July)

When you switch to a mac you forget how to use a PC. When the only thing available is a PC you try to remember how it works. Slightly more confusing here. The screen is all in Chinese and therefore it’s hard to know how to switch over to QWERTY… Help!
