I bought locally made sesame paste a few times at the vegetable market near green lake (cangyuan alley). little darker than tahini, but with perfect texture and taste.

I'm in, for the first 4-5K at least.
i normally run around the football fields, as i live in downtown, but willing to venture outside ...given the company.

you're in the wrong city dude. they ice skate for free on the streets & rivers now in helongjiang ;)
however there is an indoors ice skating arena in Zheng Yi mall on the last floor. you better be good at going through traffic, ... with the skates. :)

There are two retailers for MS in Kunming
1- 0871-5382935
2- 0871-3606038
Official price per MS beijing is WIN7-Pro 3508CNY, and WIN7-Ultimate for 3640CNY, (third week of October 2010).

you should call local store for a discount.
your best option however is probably buying online to a friend's place in the states to send you the product key, average price in the states is at 50% that of China.
