Forums > Living in Kunming > Respraying a bike frame Most areas have a little backstreet workshop that does cheap car repairs, in fact some are not even on the backstreets, but are in the small commercial units on the streets outside residential area. You can usually see cars outside with body filler, and sometimes you can even smell the paint solvents.
These places would probably be cheap as they will used the end of a can of paint being used on a car repair.
There are also commercial areas that specialize in auto parts and repair. There is one on the north side of Rixing Zhong Lu, a little east of JingGuang Lu. This is quite a big auto parts area, several blocks. There are possibly paint shops here

Seeing as Opera is made in China and has built in ad blockers and weepyend...one wonders.
Forums > Living in Kunming > What is happening with Gokunming? I am using Chrome most of the time and have no problems connecting to GoKunming. From what I have experienced, it is only Google search engine that is inoperable here. The browsing works fine.
One thing that can cause glitches, is if your software needs an update. The other thing that can cause glitches is if you have done an update. 8(
Forums > Living in Kunming > Relaxing the requirements? I never did summer school, on principle. If the parents want to refry the kids brains, when they should be cooling for the summer, I didn't want to be a part of it. However, I am sure there are teachers who need the extra money.
Welcome to the new GoKunming!
发布者Great changes.
Thanks to the GoK team, all.
Yunnan reopens 13 international border crossings
发布者Ah! but what do they mean by "non-residents of Yunnan"? This sounds like Chinese nationals not resident in Yunnan. Which would allow non-locals to cross these borders.
This would not include foreigners.
As for the number, 13 re-open, when some were not closed. That is typical of the way things often get reported in some parts of the world. Like the list of 700 universities was published and China had x number in the 'TOP 700 world ranked universities'.
Kunming to monetize street vendor chaos
发布者Yes, I think Alex has a point. In Hangzhou (and other cities I have visited) it is organised. The vendors have a table and the tables are in clearly defined rows (some streets 4 rows, wider parts 6 rows). The pedestrians can navigate through the night markets.
The big advantage of tables is that you don't get the sprawl across the pavement, and there are clear walkthroughs. The other thing is that there are no people selling out of the trunk of the car, this alone takes up a lot of room.
Outside Sal's a few months back there was a problem, because there was no way to get onto the sidewalk to park a bike. Putting aside the rights and wrongs of who did what, it was the over abundance of street vendors that was the root cause.
Kunming to monetize street vendor chaos
发布者And all to be 'policed', and ID checks by chengguan.
Now there is a money making opportunity if ever there was one.
Rumors swirl as Shanghai football club eyes Kunming
发布者For the people who run clubs in S.America and Europe it is all about the love of the 'beautiful game'. Somehow I think in Asia it is all about the love of filthy lucre.
