Hi Amina, I am an Australian living here in Kunming with my Chinese wife and our 4 year old son. He has spent most of his life here and only speaks Mandarin. We also live near the lake in hua sha shi lu. If you think we could help each other then please call. My telephone # is 3612070. By the way there are several good pools in the city, the one nearest is heated it has a shallower pool with slides etc. for the toddlers and a deeper one for everyone else. They also give swimming lessons, but I think you have to be 6 or older. Regards atomic

Posted byI spoke to a scottish engineer who works on roads here and overseas and he tells me that the authorities have a trick whereby they only record the deaths of people who die at the scene.
If they included the deaths of those who live long enough to make it back to hospital you have a much bigger number than 794.
I don't need to be 3 inches from death to continue to refuse my wife's entreaties to buy a car.
