I have to admit I am prejudiced. Being a meat eater I love Muslim restaurants, the food hygiene and general hygiene is better in most cases.

Ah! if only I could buy 'brillo' pads (soap filled pad of wire wool). Now they make any post sparkle.

Overheard on a Hong Kong message board: "Chinese people need not fear the radiation!"
Overheard on a Hong Kong message board:
「中國人根本不用擔心核輻射,內地網民﹕大家不要擔心日本核電站的輻射,這麼多年來,我們吃地溝油、化學火鍋、三聚氰胺奶粉、毒大米,皮革奶是為的是什麼呀?就是為在下一場生化戰爭中活下來。我們贏在起跑線上。」
"Chinese people need not fear the radiation. Netizens on the mainland: Let's not worry about the radiation from the Japanese nuclear plants. For so many years, we've been eating swill oil, chemical hot pots, melamine milk, toxic grains, "leather milk" — what's all this been for? It's all so we can survive in the next big chemical war. We'll be victorious on the front lines."
It may be cheaper/easier to buy a cheap phone. Several Nokias are under 600 rmb now, maybe some under 500 rmb.
Wow!!
Predictive cabling. Goes down BEFORE and earthquake.
I remember last time there was an earthquake in the China sea. It took a long time to get fixed. The slower/disrupted service was used to mask a big beefing up of the GFW.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
Kunming educator finalist for Global Teacher Prize
发布者Such policies do go wrong. A couple of years ago, the UK head of education said something along the lines of, "Why are we spending 80% or our resources trying to pull up the 20% of students who will never achieve anything much, at the expense of the 20% who could go on to achieve a lot more". He was castigated for it, but I have to say that I tend to agree with him.
We can have centers of excellence that are based on merit, and not just on the ability to pay.
Kunming to put 45,000 public use bikes on roads
发布者@Philou, I saw these on the local news yesterday. Either K6 or Yunnan TV (Channel 23 and 17 on the old cable box). My Chinese is terrible, but it looks like they have penalties for not return.
Note, for those who are interested, the story will probably be on again today as they local news cycles news a lot (pun intended).
When you compare the city bikes, with the need for collection and return to designated depots, and penalties, this seems a much less user friendly option than the ride and leave models currently out there.
Here is another question, I ride one of the city's hire bikes, and when I get to the depot, there are no more available parking slots for me to deposit the bike. Then what?
Another thing, the bikes have big wheel guards (cover half the wheels) which would allow for advertising space.
Kunming to put 45,000 public use bikes on roads
发布者If you are interested in opting in to one of these schemes, the following may help you make a choice.
I saw, on the Yunnan news today, a news story from one of the poorer ends of town. Lots of children riding around on misappropriated OFO bikes. The locks had been removed or otherwise disabled.
OFO also have tubed tires (can puncture), and the saddles can easily be removed (because it has a quick release toggle so that it can be easily raised).
Mobike I have seen have solid tires.
I have looked at the blue bikes and Mobike and I am not sure that the saddle can be removed.
Mobike also can show you where available bikes are on the app. I was told that others cannot do that, although I stand to be corrected.
The point I am making is that OFO are the company most likely to fold first, and cause you to lose your deposit.
Apple opens official flagship store in Kunming
发布者And let us not forget that the old Apple stores in Kunming were not prestigious stores but fake store fronts, selling original Apple Macs and iPhones. However, the accessories may not have been genuine in the fake store. Fake goods would have been entered into stock by the owner, would be my guess.

发布者Extended new report on Yunnan TV (channel 16or17) showing scores of bikes just dumped in different locations around Kunming.
