@Dazzer: point is not to teach others manners, but to get forums to work better and not drive people away, as iTeach suggested they may now do..

Just a suggestion, that nobody seems to like, for reasons they don't explain.
Strongly suggest that those who post on forum threads or comments on articles carefully exam the topic of same and limit their contributions to the topic, or to informational or logical comments, possible disagreements, with other posters' statements, avoiding issues such as the possible nature of other contributors' personalities, gender preferences, opinions on other matters from other posts etc., and that apparent violations of this be indicated by a simple downvote, which is not 'censorship', rather than a personal, likely egotistical rant about the poster, so that gokunming monitors can get on with more intelligent work. Many posters might be surprised at just how uninterested other posters are in your opinions of each other. If you want to discuss a poster's personality or whatever (me, for example, what do I care) then you can start a thread concerning it and see just how few posts you get.
This is not facebook.
Governments like to claim their subjects (also referred to as citizens), subjects must engage with bureaucrats and locate & jump through various hoops thrown at them in order to be who they want to be; seems a lousy way to treat people.
@Allpage: Didn't mean to blame gokunming for either the weather or the report (unless more accurate ones might be practically available). The post was meant to be humor.
I didn't time sundown but am reasonably sure it did, in fact, occur - sometime between 6 and 9pm, at least in the western part of the city, as, I remember suddenly noticing about 9, it was already dark where I was sitting in the courtyard behind the bar.
Today, noon: 'partly cloudy, 77% humidity, sunset at 6:49pm'. I've just been to register at my local paichusuo and the cops did not seem to be alarmed, despite yahoo weather prediction for thunderstorms today in Kunming and the hurricane currently threatening the Florida panhandle - but, as the quantum-mechanical probability wave approaches, would anybody like to make it interesting?

Migrant workers receive bricks in lieu of pay
发布者Agreed, JanJal, good comment. But I think there's a greed machine in operation that enhances these situations, although I won't claim that it produces them out of thin air. The machine is called global capitalism, "the world system", and in dealing with it, it helps to be pissed off, although that by itself is insufficient as a solution.
Bringing a taste of Italy to Yunnan: An interview with Diego Triboli
发布者Good interview, good place, good food, good folks.
Migrant workers receive bricks in lieu of pay
发布者@Agreed, cloudtrapezer. Also strange to see what sorts the present world produces...o-oh, damn, I forgot, it's all supposed to be simply a matter of 'human nature'.
Weekend in Dali: A Chinese perspective
发布者I think there's such a thing as tourism being commercially overdeveloped, especially when it is hyped as 'authentic', etc., and when 'authentic' is promoted as something deserving of sacred awe on the part of outsiders, who probably can't understand it anyway..
But then what does 'authentic' mean? I'd suggest it means not pretending to be what it is not.
And with that I suggest we all may be in trouble.

发布者@JanJal: You mean it would drive investors to go to places where they can get away with not paying their employees if their invested money doesn't magically 'grow'?
