JINGHONG is a Mekong town, and 2012 is designated as my Mekong Year. It might start a little late, but it will be started, God willing. <p>


This could be my destination if I make an "excursion" from Indochina during my year (or so) that I spend there. See <a href="http://www.mekongcafe.cn/jinghong%20Xishuangbanna%20what%20to%20do%20what%20to%20see.html">Mekong Cafe</a> for some information about this prefectural capital.<p>

From the aforementioned site (cock fighting): "Located in a small street by Manting park is a cock fighting arena , the rules here are different than other countries where the issue of the fight might be death; the roosters are not equipped with razor blades and the winner is the one who pushes the other out of the ring ; never the less these daily fights attract local gamblers ; try your luck…!!."<p>
