Do you live in Kunming and have a beamer/projector? We need your help...
I work in an art house cinema in the Netherlands where I program educational film. My wife is from rural Dongchuan and next month we are planning to go to the village to spend CNY with the family. We are aware of the fact that nowadays Chinese kids spend hours and hours on the phone during the holidays, especially when the parents are feasting. What I want to do is to set up a proper cinema for the kids for 1 or 2 nights so that they have quality entertainment with nice films that are suitable for them. I've already arranged everything with the film distributors, so I can fill up a really interesting film program. But because we don't live in Kunming nowadays we have to reach out to the community to borrow a beamer and a screen so we can take this to the village and set everything up. Is there anyone willing to support our project in this way? I think it could really make a difference for these kids 😊

I agree with misfit that capital punishment is not gonna solve this problem. It's an emotional response that will not change anything about the situation.
More swimming options around Kunming
发布者I went to the Just Hotel pool yesterday and it was a total disgrace, the place looked like it hadn't been cleaned for at least a few months. Ugly, strange building with big rusty poles, unfriendly service. They updated their price to 40 rmb. The lifeguard was smoking at the waterside with a few of his lazy companions. They advertise that they close at 21:00 but the clock inside the pool is 15 minutes fast and they had us out of the pool 25 minutes before closing time. Not a nice way to spend 40 rmb. The only positive side was that it was not very crowded and it was easy to swim fast in a lane only bumping into a few clueless zig-zagging old people or kids once or twice. Any new tips on good pools in Kunming?
What I know of: 世纪金源大酒店 has a spa with 2 nice pools, indoor and outdoor, indoor 25m, outdoor slightly bigger, fitness area, not too crowded if you are smart with the times. Relatively clean. 168 for the whole spa package, pretty nice!
金星小区 in the north has a 50 meter outside pool, 20rmb, crowded but big and relatively clean, nice atmosphere.
世博花园酒店 has a 25 meter pool, not heated, clean-like, most old people don't take a shower before they get in, i complained many times. 30/40rmb
A pool at the far north side of Beijing lu, never went because it's 100 rmb. The bath is 50 meters, clean and deserted.
Tuodong I haven't been to for a few years. Crowded, expensive and not that clean was my impression.
I like going to the one at the youth center at Dianchi lu, relatively clean, not too crowded, 20 rmb...
Getting Away: Luang Prabang
发布者Yes that is what i meant, mostly superficial or non existant. Which I think is pretty negative. In Luang Prabang it is so apparent that a majority of the locals are totally fed up with many of the foreigners that visit the town.
