Read it, loved it.
Packing my bags now to live in the glory land which is Kim Jong II. And man o man those DPRK babes are hot!!!!!
I don't need no stinkin rice. I will live off the wisdom of the great one himself.
I wish you luck with your delivery. Don't be too surprised if you have a new doctor attending you when the day comes. Keep yuor records handy for him since he won't have a clue about any prior issues. Pay attention to all meds they want to give you and watch doses. They make regular mistakes dozing meds.
I simply go by, "If I can't find it...I don't need it".
There is nothing I miss from the US. Period. I went back last year only to count the days until I returned to Kunming.
If I want something special, a simple trip to HK or Bangkok will suffice nicely.
I never go to Walmart. Never did in the US and after 1 visit 4 years ago here....... I would never go back. Filthy, crowded, loud, smells bad (like the US).
You'd have to be a poor desperate farmer type to waste time or money in Walmart.
I don't know about the "high profile" case you mention, but I do know personally of this happening to a good friend of mine here in Kunming.
My friend is an administrator for a local hospital. He witnesses a car accident in the ring road, and stopped to help the injured man. The police arrived shortly after and immediately arrested him and impounded his car. They charged him with causing the accident on the grounds that he did stop on the scene making him responsible for the accident. It took him a lot of time (several months) and large expense to clear himself of the charges. In the meantime the police kept his car and license. All this trouble for simply trying to help a poor fellow seriously injured by driving drunk and running his car off the highway! So, law or not, it is the position taken by the authorities.
I'm not surprised by the stories of killing off the victims, sick as that may be. Still, the best rule is to stay away from getting involved in any of these matters or you can find yourself in a lot of trouble.
No results found.
Crap, evil, liars, unprofessional, expensive, no customer service comes to mind when I think of B&Q.
I have to agree with splitopen. This place is not worth the long drive to get there whatsoever. Crazy expensive and the play is boring. It looks thrown together and poorly built. The employees are rude. They obviously don't like their jobs. For the prices they charge, it is a rip off. I give it a few months before Hello! Haigeng Minigolf Park is just a memory.
Dr Doom, This is not the US so, yes, 40 kuai IS too much! Next time your are there, count how many Chinese customers they have. This business seems to promote an elitist attitude which I do not care for. A foreign owned business setting pricing to exclude locals is not a place I would support.
BTW, it was open in Nov, and it sounds like your are the one who owns this place......pretty lame.
The food is expensive with small portions. Quality is poor and the service is not so good. I think the servers are not happy working there which shows in their attitude. I would not recommend this place at all.
Up to 1,000 Dali businesses to close in face of new policy
发布者Move in the right direction, but too little too late?
Popular night market locations closed, ban appears permanent
发布者I hope it sticks. Street venders are nothing but a nuisance.
Dianchi below national standards, nearby construction may be halted
发布者500 billion yuan to spend for cleanup? Well that would mean about 100 billion to actually be spend on the pollution.
Did someone say "tea time, BIG time?
Kunming ranks fifth nationally in expat poll
发布者I've been here 8 years. I would say that Kunming would only be an average pick for a location to live in China. Yunnan is a great province for enjoying "natural China", so by default that means living in Kunming.
Sadly, the expansion and changes here have been mostly negative. Unplanned construction, pollution, traffic, local corruption continues unchecked in Kunming. This really knocks down Kunming as a preferred destination for anyone. This poll sounds like just another sham to attract tourists to this area.
My optimistic belief is that in 7-10 years Kunming will settle down and tweak itself into a front runner city for living. It has a way to go at it's present state. I'll be patient and continue to live here and wait and see. To that end, I'm moving out to Chonggong where I bought property. Living IN the city is not that great. I often travel out of here, and so Kunming is an ideal base for that. If I had to stay here (and work) on a daily basis, that would be a very hard pill to swallow.
Now with the new petrochemical plant firing up.........that may well squash any chance of "Kunming" and "natural beauty" being used in the same sentence.
In the meantime I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
