QUOTE: "you can find long-life low fat milk just about anywhere."
@kickkick — are you referring to the milk that shops and stands just have on the shelf and does not require refrigeration?
Is the Chinese for this: 寿命长奶?
Tried it again just now. The page which is "trying" to open has this address: www.gokunming.com/en/forums/form_post/12211/ in case that is helpful to someone on the technical staff.
It makes it more difficult to participate in a forum if each entry is "cast in stone" and cannot be ammended shortly after posting.
Right. Same problem. Page won't load regardless of browser or connection speed.
Not sure how to bring it to the attention of the website's technical staff.
Sometimes I want to edit a post I just made. I click the "Edit" button, but it does not work.
Do other posters have this problem? If so, is there a way the forum administrators could make that aspect of posting more "user friendly?"
QUOTE: "i guess my real question is, does the average kunming resident speak/understand enough english to be helpful when a problem arises???"
The answer to that is "usually not."
No results found.
The CNAC exhibit, which is on display now, February 2009, is extremely intersting and well done. Worth a trip. The museum charges no admission and the Number 1 Kunming bus goes there.
Roundup: Kunming flooding aftermath
Posted by>>"I'm returning to Kunming next Thursday. I'm staying at a hotel in Panlong, near the intersection of Renmin Lu and Dongfeng Dong Lu."
Those two streets don't intersect. But the areas near where those two streets cross Baita Lu 白塔路 and Huancheng Donglu 环城东路 are OK.
Expo aims to strengthen China's regional ties
Posted byQuestion about the red arm bands.
In the last couple weeks I've seen lots of local citizens wearing red arm bands that have something to do with the Expo. I've been told that they are helping keep the streets near where they work clean so as to make a good impression on visiting officials.
Has anyone seen these red arm bands close up and actually been able to read the words? Just curious.
Foraging for wild edibles in Kunming's hills
Posted by@Liliping — good tip about the baking soda. Do you know how to say it or write it in Chinese? My dictionary says 小苏打, but I'm not sure if that is local usage. I'd like to buy some.

Snapshot: Kunming Carnival's Grand Parade
Posted byPosting photos of an event after the fact is nice, but Go Kunming could provide a truly useful service by listing events like this in advance so those of us who live here could know to attend.
