“I enjoyed using the Chinese yuan, met many friends, and ate many Chinese foods. I enjoyed it all in China (in the holiday),” said Pushpa Majestry, an Indian doctor at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University.

During the week-long holiday, Pushpa visited the Green Lake and strolled along the Daguan River, watching the black-headed seagulls in Kunming. 

Together with her Chinese friends and many other international friends, Pushpa had a big dinner at a restaurant on Nanping Street, downtown Kunming. 

Back to her room, she had a clean-up and arranged her daily items in order, creating an little but comfortable place to stay during the holiday.

Pushpa also likes the trendy stores in Kunming, and she visited a robot store with another Indian Shrawan Kumar, who studied medicine in the same university and now is also a medical staff in the same hospital. 

“I went to the Dianchi Lake (for sightseeing) and I played volleyball and basketball with my Chinese friends.” Shrawan also shared his Spring Festival leisure here. 

Shrawan said he has been in Kunming for six years, adding he plans to work in the city for one more year before returning to India.
