After waking up at 4 am, driving to the wrong terminal, and then panicking to find the rest of the Extreme Team at Hongqiao Airport; We were finally on our way to the 28 day journey of Microcampus. Our bumpy but quick flight was followed by a 6 1/2 hour bus ride. This is when it began to hit me, this is my home for the next month. As we neared Dali Old Town we began to see beautiful mountians and rivers in the Er Hai Valley. It was amazing to look out and see nothing but mountains, grass, and rugged terain for kilometres. We saw entire towns built at the foot of these mountains.
