  • Thai AirAsia talks of new route to Kunming
    Friday, 8th May 2009
    Now, May 2009, I hear rumours yet again.... Cannot trace the source though.
    If I do, I will be back here.
  • Two dead, 14 injured in Kunming bus explosions
    Tuesday, 22nd July 2008
    When frustration eventually erupts after so long being suppressed, it seems it often does it without any rationality. The people who were killed or injured did not deserve it. The perpetrators should not have done it, but nor should they have been driven to it.

    I hope that those who are the cause of the frustrations that resulted in this tragedy will reflect and consider addressing the causes rather than just clamping down even harder.
  • Solar-powered trip around the world stops in Kunming
    Tuesday, 22nd April 2008
    I want to make a request that reports have dates on them. When a report says something happened 'yesterday' and that something else is happening 'today', this may mean a great deal to the writer, but there is nowhere in this article which allows me to see when 'yesterday' and 'today' actually are.

    As for the use of mains re-charging - I think the report actually says that the solar panels on the car supply about half the energy required. I guess this car is on the road much longer each day than the average car.

    I guess solar powered cars will signal an end to multi-storey, underground and in building car parks. We will all want our cars roasting in the sun all day to get the batteries charged up ready for our daily commuting.

    They seem to be serving food again. Same menu, same great salads. Maybe evening only though, and I believe Tuesday evening is the chefs night off.

    Absolutely agree with all this. This should not happen to anyone.

    Best wishes to you guys and I hope you are up and running again soon. The town needs you, and from the sound of posts here, no one is going to be put off by this incident.

    I will certainly make a point to spend some RMB with you when I see you open again.

    www.yntz.net is another source - if your chinese is up to it. I believe a lot of contact is made on the net - primarily via QQ. but I have to say, setting up a QQ account was an impenetrable barrier for me.

    I'm living here with two other overeeas gay friends (been her for a year) and we have gradually made a few gay friends in the local community.

    It is so sad they decided to cancel the torch run through the city. So many people will be disappointed. One world maybe is only One dream.

    If you have some web space anywhere, and the web space provider supports PHP, you can load a copy of PHP Proxy into it and create your own web proxy server.

    Not perfect, but free and no ads and so little traffic they are unlikely to notice it.

    However, I agree a VPN solution is better, if pricey. Looking at the government's web site you'd think they had already dropped this neurosis. Maybe what we are seeing is the death throes of a pointless activity.
