When in Rome,,. If you get no responses I suggest you go Chinese on this one and let your kid play unobserved on the curb. He will acquire a healthy respect of cars and learn how to truly appreciate airquality when you one day return home.

Forums > Living in Kunming > kundu stabbing?

Right,, before it gets all Us and Them I just want to say that I have never seen a fight in Kundu (I know they happen of course) and I have probably been there at least 40-50 times. The closest I saw was a Chinese chick smashing a bottle trying to mash it into another girls face,, thank god someone grabbed her before she got too close. A drunk Chinese guy told me to "Fxxx off" once because his equally drunk gf wanted to dance with me,, I took a hint and left the place.

Apart from that I only ever met friendly Chinese people and I am glad having seen a couple of fights in Jin Ma Fang and Beijing,, Chinese people haven't got unspoken rules about fighting and I've seen more than my share of unconcious people being kicked for a long time after they became defenceless. Captain Obvious states: Stay away from anything that could turn into a fight in this country.

Murder on a foreigner? Looks like someone's family is gonna get billed for one piece of hollowpoint bullet pretty soon. Bad news for Sohu too,, murders in clubs tend to mean closing down for months here in China. Maybe a couple of well stuffed envelopes and the fact that the stabbing itself took place outside could change that (,,one could argue. I would of course never imply that bribes like that happen).

Speaking of club murders. I heard there was a murder last year at Pandora in Jin Ma Fang. Can anybody verify?

4 years?? Back in Scandinavia we have some of the most lenient sentences in the world, but raping a 4 year old would land you at least double that, or a spot in an mental institution. This is the problem with corruption, if his friends and acquaintances on the other side of the law aren't playing along, he's going to take them down with him. Please don't tweet this more than 499 times. I want to stay harmonious.

I don't know what kind of geologist would "expect" an even larger quake within 10 days. The release of tension in the 5.9 and the subsequent aftershocks ought to significantly LOWER the chance of quakes until the tension rebuilds, which of course could take anything from a year to a hundred. I have no idea why anyone would try to install fear in people like that when scientific evidence -or rather, past experience in this case- suggests that such events are unlikely, but yeah, of course can not be ruled out.

I'm not a proponent of capital punishment but this is a case seriously testing my feelings. If you can earn yourself a bullet to the head for holding on to more than 20 grams of hard drugs, where is the equivalent for greedy, ruthless people who knowingly conspire to risk the health of hundreds of thousands of their customers? You know what, maybe chopping off a few heads could set an example for other sociopaths to behold.

Considering the price of rhino horn in China due to TCM superstition, sadly I think it's only a matter of time before one or more are poached.

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.
