Forums > Living in Kunming > Found out I am not really because because I don't drink This topic has nothing to do with nationality or ethinicity. You can always find the social alcoholic in any group because he is the one filling everybody's glass as soon as it gets emptied.
This is typical dysfunctional behavior that goes hand in hand with Misery loves company. The alcoholic knows his drinking is bad, so he forces others to join him so the behavior does not seem so bad any more because there are others doing the same bad behavior.
I am a non-drinker. I drink 3-5 times in one year, I only drink beer, and when I drink I never drink more than 1 beer. This is my idea of a non-drinker. However, there are people in recovery (former drinkers) who no longer drink. BillDan mentions that he has been in abstinence for 6 years so he is the latter of the 2 non-drinkers.
Regardless of what type of non-drinker you are, you need to understand that the social alcoholic is the problem, not you. So dont take it personally. When you refuse a drink from a social alcoholic, he will feel the spotlight on him because he needs others to share in his bad behavior. The moment you say NO, others will also say no and this is his worst nightmare. So don't let it bother you. He has a problem, not you. Good luck.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Kunming rainfall It is very difficult to get legitimate statistics regarding this issue. I am really looking for the maximum capacity of each reservoir. So far, I only know that Yun Long capacity is 484 mcm - million cubic meters. Even in chinese websites it is difficult to get info regarding the recent rainfall.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Kunming rainfall I found a website that lists the rainfall in Kunming since 1942.
www.tutiempo.net/en/Climate/Kunming/567780.htm
The years with the highest and lowest rainfall are listed below:
HIGH – 79, 80, 81, 83, 86, 94, 97
LOW – 82, 84, 87, 88, 09, 11
Interesting to note that the highs and lows were almost consecutive between 1979 and 1988.
I got some conflicting info regarding the number of reservoirs in Kunming. Not sure if there are 7 or 8 reservoirs.
DISTRICT - NAME
CHENG GONG - SONG MAO
CHENG GONG - GUO LIN
PAN LONG - JIN DIAN
PAN LONG - SONG HUA BA
PAN LONG - SONG HUA BA
XI SHAN - MING LANG

Hope to get some news regarding the recent rainfall and the effects on the reservoir levels
Forums > Living in Kunming > Scooter Shop Recommendation Please stop assuming the worst about me, and writing novel-length manifestos about (be) This word should be ME.
I am not assuming - I am copying and pasting your own words to this post. If they are your own words then they are FACTS, so I have no need to assume.
Chinese Tomb Sweeping Festival
发布者Please keep in mind that this is NOT a good time to travel. Very crowded and hectic during this 3 day period.
Urban managers throw block party, no one attends
发布者The article is a joke but the cheng guan problem is real.
There is a place near my house where they store all the trikes and vending carts that the CG confiscate from the poor people just trying to make an honest living.

发布者"You see that cart they're eating apples from?" he replied, gesturing toward the officers. "That used to be mine."
Have another party - bring a booth and put the chenguan inside - charge 5 yuan per person to throw rubber bricks at them - they can raise millions in a few hours.
Chinese college freshmen increasingly unfit
发布者Although some kids are not slim as they used to be - some middle school kids are tall and big now because of all those hormone grown meats - The majority still remain relatively slim.
However, they are very weak and out of shape because they sit in school all day and at home also doing homework.
They barely can do a few pushups, can not even do a pul-up - like private Pyle, and they get tired after walking short distances.
