Forums > Living in Kunming > All Blocked out!

Yip,, Danwei has been blocked for me the last 3 days too now. Also I can't get on to TheBeijinger for 2 days,, a site where they already "convinced" the admin to make the forum virtually impossible to use last week. At least Chinasmack still works,,, for now.

I think someone is mistaking Lincoln's famous quote
"You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time." for Dubyas "You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on." (said as a joke).

www.myp2p.eu Some of the links will open in Mediaplayer but there are software links to better quality players (safe). I recommend the TVU Player for good speed and pixel quality.

Chinese businesses are based on the old honourable "Tooting-your-own-horn-while-flaming-the-competition" principle. I enjoy reading restaurant reviews on the major expat sites in this country. The owner will get several people to write amazing reviews and deal out 6 stars while the direct competitors dish out 0 stars and suggest salmonella infested food and rats running amok in the kitchen. Ahh,,, China.

3 to 5 years to set up rules, regulations and laws on shale gas extraction?! And here I thought that one of the pros of having a government like China's (cough, cough, haaaark, spit!) was that the decision-making process was speedy when needed.

And yes, we all know TallAm has a point unfortunately. Increased consumption pared with limited fossil fuel reserves make it inevitable that every single extractable deposit will be done with eventually, and as time passes, fewer and fewer environmental concerns will be addressed.

Wonder how they'll cope with the millions of migrant construction workers in a year or two when constructions grinds down to a 10th of what it is now. Seems like President Jin will be juggling several hot potatoes soon. I'll be looking for an apartment next year, so naturally I wouldn't mind a 15-20 percent drop in real estate prices personally, although I doubt it will be that much. The Chinese characteristics of this particular area of economics tell me no one wants to even consider selling with a loss unless the bank is there, knocking at your door, and the Chinese generally have a significantly smaller percentage of the RE value mortgaged than we on average have in the West due to savings and/or family loans before coughing up with the deposit.

Come to think of it, predicting what's going to happen in China it's a bit like putting on a blindfold, aim, and hope the dart ends up somewhere in the general direction of the board.

Went there yesterday and it totally made my week. Nice decor and friendly staff and a real salad bar. Sadly we both wanted mexican food so I can't really say much about their other courses. The food was great but just a tad spicier would have improved the dish. The best thing was that we almost had the place to ourselves and we could have a quiet conversation without shouting, spitting Chinese people in the background. I realised how much I had missed that since coming here.

We went to Chicago Coffee a couple of days ago and it was a nice experience. The place is cozy with soft comfy chairs (I realized how much I have missed one since coming here) and they have a nice little collection of English language books in the corner consisting mainly of classics and travel litterature. I was looking forward to trying their advertized tortilla bar but it wasn't up and running that evening.

Instead we went for 2 12 inch pizzas -roast chicken and pepperoni- but we quickly realized that 1 would have been enough. Those things are heavy. I am mainly into Italian style pizza but Chicago's double layered pizzas are well worth a try. Their coffee seems to be a bit on the expensive side but people say good things about it and they have got a nice selection. I wouldn't mind dropping by again some day,, hopefully when they've got the tortilla thing going. English speaking staff btw.
