oh sorry ninja.
when i think of the mafia, i see the tony sopranos, the russians or mexican drug cartels.

"I've heard a lot about gangs and mafia, etc here in Kunming. It is an amazing city and I hope that someday soon all these gangs will not be allowed to do the things they do"

no gangs or mafia in kunming.
mostly angry farmers, uneducated group of people etc...

sorry to hear you fell into this situation. I live close to where the accident happened.
I got into an accident myself in that area but a military car hit me while he was on red light.
i won the case in the end.

you have my full support.

international students housing sucks.

bring along camera, ur cloths, ur laptop.
they got good shampoo's and basic necessities here

no kitchen in dorm building
university is ok.
they relocated closer to green lake which isn't that bad.
teacher's are also ok.
kunming's weather will be nice by the time u come
