I really do not get it. I have been here going on 14 years this Dec and I have never been attacked in any way - verbally or physically. Keep in mind that I am always photographing taxi and bus drivers and reporting them or threatening to report them for not using their meters. I do this in plain site with 10-20 other cabbies standing around in front of many bus stations. Great opportunity for them to jump on me or my wife gang style.
Years ago, I stopped 8 chinese guys in their 20s from beating the crap out of another smaller chinese guy. I did this by grabbing the biggest guy there by the throat. Neither he nor his 7 buddies resisted and they let the other guy go. I am 166 cm, the big guy was over 175 cm. They could have easily turned on me but they did not.
This case seems unique in that the person (Liam) attacked was not under the influence or hanging out in Kundu or doing other alcohol related activities. Every time I hear of these attacks I always wonder what was the triggering element as most chinese are not aggressive. Again, this case is atypical.
I have found that a simple smile can prevent 95% of any altercation and the eye of the tiger can avoid the remaining 5%.

发布者I have 2 balconies in my apartment so I have a small garden. I compost all my vegetable waste and I feed it to the worms in my worm garden. Over the years I have put all this into the red Yunnan dirt that I got from outside and now my soil is rich, loose and black.

Yunnan dam structurally unsound, repairs in limbo
发布者Even wiki is equally inept - The Ludila Dam is an under construction gravity dam on the Jinsha River near Lijiang in Yunnan province, China. Construction on the dam began in 2007 and was halted in June 2009 by the Ministry of Environmental Protection after it was being constructed without approval.
Near Lijiang? I can name at least 3 prefectures in Yunnan that are near Lijiang.

发布者Nothing annoys me more than reading an article that does not clearly answer the 5Ws. When the reader has more questions after reading an article that is proof to me of poor writing.
Is this dam in Lijiang or Dali? I am sure this dam has to belong to a certain county.
