Old Town Lijiang, Continued |
|
I stepped into one place that looked a little odd, and it turned out to be a rather primitive heatlh clinic. (There is also a modern hospital in town, but this clinic was clearly for those who could not afford a modern hospital.) There was a doctor seeing patients, some children crying, and a very crude looking pharmacy. At the entrance were photographs, including what appeared to be a caesarian pregnancy delivery. The pharmacy had an abacus for adding up patients bills.
And just down the street was the Prague Cafe, a delightful art-deco place with pop music playing and Internet access. This is a world of extremes.
