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.
How bad is Kunming's air?
发布者We can argue about temperatures until the cows come home, and for political reasons, many people do. That is why the term 'global warming' has been superseded by the term 'climate change'.
As for the future. An important ecological presupposition is that an environment cannot be destroyed, only modified. The earths environment may be modified to a point where the earth can no longer support human life at the levels we have been used to. What happens then? Perhaps a lot of techno-fixes, to create micro climates that are less stressful for human life.
Perhaps, Africa will become more temperate, and other areas of the globe will become more hostile to life. Perhaps the droughts and famines will visit Europe and the Americas.
In nature, where the environment changes faster than animals can evolve, there is 'cultural evolution'. This is where animals change thier behavior in order to survive. The finches in the Galapagos isands are an example of this, where different species feed at different levels of the same tree, as a way of avoiding direct competition with other species. Personally, I think there is room for humans to undergo more cultural evolution.
How bad is Kunming's air?
发布者Whatever the arguments about global warming.
Whoever is to blame.
DianChi is green with algae, and unsafe to swim in.
Urban air pollution/smog is recognised as a major problem in China.
How bad is Kunming's air?
发布者Is that the same PLA general who says that bird flu is part of US psyche warfare?
Recipe: Copper pot rice
发布者The article mentions the kitchen supply market at DaShangHui.
I thought I had walked all of DaShangHui, but don't recall seeing kitchen supplies.
Can anyone give the exact location?
Kunming battling Chinglish
发布者I think the 'Please aim carefully' is 100% ok.
Bang on target.
