the plunger is definitely the most environmentally-friendly way to solve it though, not requiring repeated flushes. Plungers also work really well but remember that the plunger head must be submerged for it to work. The sealing by rubber and water of air in the pipe is what makes it go pop.
Everytime I get a crapper clogged, it just takes one or two stabs with the plunger. No need to waste already scarce water in Yunnan.
every time I ordered delivery, it has been a cold and/or rainy day. While I don't think Teresa's pizza that bad, it most definitely arrived cold and soggy because of the weather and the distance to my house. Not ordering from them again.
Three people I know had their phones show a completely different time even though time zone and time were automatically set by the network. It involved two people in Yunnan and one in Washington, DC. Anyone experienced the same and know why? My phone was off by three hours and some minutes
Metro advertise with delivery to your home. Anyone know how it works and what it costs? Could I, say, call them with a few product numbers I want delivered? 懒癌发作
completely different in content and herbs, as well as the actual rice paper used and the vermicelli inside.
No results found.
First and last experience. Absolutely horrible. I came in late with a big flesh wound. The doctor sewed it up and told me to come back in the morning "perhaps to redo it, and to change the bandage". When I did come back the next morning, they just changed the bandage and sent me off.
When I peeked at my own wound, I noticed it was horribly done. "Like a vet did the stitches," as someone commented. I then had to stay a night in a different hospital in order to do it right, with a 40% chance of getting infections. This cost me a lot more, thanks to Richland fucking up in the beginning.
Whatever X-rays were taken were not printed out and given to me so I couldn't go to another hospital for a second opinion or treatment.
The nurses didn't seem to know where half the things were and the doctors had to repeat orders to get basic things like scissors.
In the next hospital, it was noticed that I had fractured my jaw in two places. On the five X-Rays taken at Richland, they did not notice the fractures.
Pretty sure these people are not actual doctors and are therefore criminal.
Super place. Really cool interior, lots of good beers and drinks, fun toilet inside the telephone booth, and an interesting clientele.
Cons: pretty hard to find, no matching glasses for the imported beers, and home brews need some work.
Teaching and support lamentable.
Four people signed up for the highest-level class and got a teacher who does all the talking, refers to herself as 老师 and makes classes absolutely uninteresting. As of this moment, only 1 person is still going on a regular basis.
While staff is friendly, they are absolutely incapable to help out with visa matters in an adequate way. Lack of information beforehand, lack of support and lack of information during the visa process meant that I am waiting forever for my residence permit to be processed, without any information about why it's taking so long, why they can't get started ... I'd say this school is a good option if all you wanted is a visa, but they can't even handle this properly.
Anyone giving this school a 5-star rating hasn't been to any decently-run schools in Kunming, such as Keats'. The only redeeming quality is facilities and space, those are indeed excellent.
Have been studying at Keats for almost four semesters now and I'm very enthusiastic about the quality of the teachers and the commitment of the school's staff.
One point of criticism is that I think they could put in some effort to group people of the same level together, rather than base it on who was together in last semester's class.
I stayed here in the early days of March 2013. Dave and his wife are swell owners, the staff attentive, the food good, rooms in perfect order, WiFi fast enough... Much like the old hump, the entire place is an excellent place to relax and make friends. And that is what you come to do in Dali, after all. The location is a bit isolated from the old town, but nothing is really far away in Dali. Besides, it makes for a better starting point to walk up Cangshan.

Dragon Boat Festival
Posted byThanks for this. I always wondered what could possibly connect the ferocious paddling with triangular snacks. And was obviously too lazy to look it up for myself.

Hiking from Daju to Lugu Lake, part 1
Posted byI recently undertook a bike trip to 'Big Tool' and put some pictures up of the same valley. It's amazing how dreamy it is.

Later, I heard that Daju used to be quite busy but the requirement to pay 200 RMB per person to simply use the road next to Yulong reduced the influx of tourists to a trickle. There is still an establishment rocking a "Best restaurant in all of China" sign, it seems to be mostly used for playing Mahjong as was the hotel we were staying in. Surprising they weren't out of business yet.
The next day we crossed the Yangtze and mounted on the other side. This also yields interesting pictures of Daju.

Chinese academic ponders globe-spanning railways
Posted byNo country will be very happy to allow an increasingly militaristic China to build tracks that could one day roll an entire regiment to their doorstep. Not going to happen.
