Forums > Living in Kunming > Windows 8 is breaking my balls

wipe the RT version off your Yoga and install a standard Windows 8.1. The connection dropping thing is a driver issue which can be easily upgraded (the problem is gone on my Lenovo X230) on a normal version of Windows.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Windows 8 is breaking my balls

Windows 8 isn't that bad and has some interesting features. However I despise the new metro interface which is really useless if you're trying to do real work. Just install ClassicShell (free) and you're back to normal.

Now, as for your SD card. Perhaps the SD card is formatted in a filesystem that is not supported by Windows RT or the other way around. I suggest you copy your data to your Windows 7 machine and then format your SD card as FAT32 (if the size is 32 GB or less) or NTFS (if the size is over 32 GB).

If the NTFS doesn't work, try formatting it as FAT32 (although you'll only be able to use 32GB of your disk), and the other way around: if FAT32 doesn't work, try formatting as NTFS.

I wonder if Microsoft may have dropped support for FAT32 in Windows RT.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Gay scene in China

For a radio report, I'm looking for Chinese homosexuals who can say something about how it is to be homosexual in China. Male and/or female. I'd like to have a short, confidential interview with them. Chinese or English.

Forums > Food & Drink > morning coffee and study near wenlin jie?

Not sure if you need to study in a café or if that's some hip novelty. It's a very expensive activity and in China often uncomfortable: loud and bad wifi. Studying at home eliminates most of these problems.

But if you really do like studying outside before 9am, it would seem a lot of hotels have lobbies where you can get a coffee and a table, most schools will offer the same amenities. Schools have that extra bonus that they may have idle teachers running around and bookshelves full of study material.

That was one day after I'd left. Anyway, Danmairen, I'm not sure if there really are fire engines that fit inside the old town of Lijiang. I even have trouble getting around without bumping my head. I'm in fact impressed the fire was contained with relative little damage.

They might have seen it coming though, there was some fire accident between Lijiang and Shangri-La during the time of my visit, which shrouded the entire Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in smoke.

I'm a bit late, perhaps, and biased, perhaps, because I haven't seen a proper big city since I left Kunming on my bicycle trip. But I'm positively impressed by Nanning after only one night. Green streets, air quality good, weather nice and warm in winter, big food streets at night, a selection of nice bars, and everything the western heart wants in terms of coffee, restaurants and bars.

In that aspect, it's doing better than Kunming. Con: it sprawls on forever and wouldn't make a good city to start bike rides from. You'd have to conquer forty km to get out of it first.

great article this, I like it when you are digging into Kunming history. Makes up for everything that's been lost and rebuilt.

First and last experience. Absolutely horrible. I came in late with a big flesh wound. The doctor sewed it up and told me to come back in the morning "perhaps to redo it, and to change the bandage". When I did come back the next morning, they just changed the bandage and sent me off.

When I peeked at my own wound, I noticed it was horribly done. "Like a vet did the stitches," as someone commented. I then had to stay a night in a different hospital in order to do it right, with a 40% chance of getting infections. This cost me a lot more, thanks to Richland fucking up in the beginning.

Whatever X-rays were taken were not printed out and given to me so I couldn't go to another hospital for a second opinion or treatment.

The nurses didn't seem to know where half the things were and the doctors had to repeat orders to get basic things like scissors.

In the next hospital, it was noticed that I had fractured my jaw in two places. On the five X-Rays taken at Richland, they did not notice the fractures.

Pretty sure these people are not actual doctors and are therefore criminal.

Super place. Really cool interior, lots of good beers and drinks, fun toilet inside the telephone booth, and an interesting clientele.

Cons: pretty hard to find, no matching glasses for the imported beers, and home brews need some work.

Teaching and support lamentable.

Four people signed up for the highest-level class and got a teacher who does all the talking, refers to herself as 老师 and makes classes absolutely uninteresting. As of this moment, only 1 person is still going on a regular basis.

While staff is friendly, they are absolutely incapable to help out with visa matters in an adequate way. Lack of information beforehand, lack of support and lack of information during the visa process meant that I am waiting forever for my residence permit to be processed, without any information about why it's taking so long, why they can't get started ... I'd say this school is a good option if all you wanted is a visa, but they can't even handle this properly.

Anyone giving this school a 5-star rating hasn't been to any decently-run schools in Kunming, such as Keats'. The only redeeming quality is facilities and space, those are indeed excellent.

Have been studying at Keats for almost four semesters now and I'm very enthusiastic about the quality of the teachers and the commitment of the school's staff.

One point of criticism is that I think they could put in some effort to group people of the same level together, rather than base it on who was together in last semester's class.

I stayed here in the early days of March 2013. Dave and his wife are swell owners, the staff attentive, the food good, rooms in perfect order, WiFi fast enough... Much like the old hump, the entire place is an excellent place to relax and make friends. And that is what you come to do in Dali, after all. The location is a bit isolated from the old town, but nothing is really far away in Dali. Besides, it makes for a better starting point to walk up Cangshan.
