I doubt anyone is worth 300 kuai an hour downhere but I guess preying on parents fear of their offspring becoming street sweepers is borderline ok. Supply and demand.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Gasoline???

Reminds me of that bus in Liaoning that blew up a couple of years ago because some nong had brought a couple of gas canisters aboard it. Also no hammers and everybody were incinerated. Those gas thingies cause hundreds of restaurant fires in China every year btw and especially in certain northern provinces where it is common to sell soup at the entrance. One blows up and everyone inside is trapped.

I still don't get how they managed to stuff 120 people into that bus. Using the phrase "this is China" seems appropriate here. There are some pics and videos from the bus fire on Chinasmack (not for the faint-hearted): www.chinasmack.com/pictures/chengdu-bus-9-fire-videos/

I think this is how it begins. The stories you hear about 50 year old unmarried women barricaded inside their house together with their 100+ cats screaming at kids in the street through their windows untill the day the RSPCA breaks down the door. Don't tell me you weren't warned. All the best.

Let me be the first to offer a very sincere "Yawn" and a good luck with the project. I don't mind cycling per se but after having experienced traffic in China I would much rather donate to research into human teleportation so we can avoid spending time dodging cars and sidestepping scooters in the deadly chaos known as the Kunming streets. Can you imagine what it will be like in 5-10 years with their plans to make this a 10 million city without building a subway?

Never heard of "ECUM Coffee Group", made a quick search on some Danish websites,, no results and no companies with even remotely similar sounding names. Oh well,, that's 10 mins of my life I am never getting back.

Went there yesterday and it totally made my week. Nice decor and friendly staff and a real salad bar. Sadly we both wanted mexican food so I can't really say much about their other courses. The food was great but just a tad spicier would have improved the dish. The best thing was that we almost had the place to ourselves and we could have a quiet conversation without shouting, spitting Chinese people in the background. I realised how much I had missed that since coming here.

We went to Chicago Coffee a couple of days ago and it was a nice experience. The place is cozy with soft comfy chairs (I realized how much I have missed one since coming here) and they have a nice little collection of English language books in the corner consisting mainly of classics and travel litterature. I was looking forward to trying their advertized tortilla bar but it wasn't up and running that evening.

Instead we went for 2 12 inch pizzas -roast chicken and pepperoni- but we quickly realized that 1 would have been enough. Those things are heavy. I am mainly into Italian style pizza but Chicago's double layered pizzas are well worth a try. Their coffee seems to be a bit on the expensive side but people say good things about it and they have got a nice selection. I wouldn't mind dropping by again some day,, hopefully when they've got the tortilla thing going. English speaking staff btw.
