Go to the new Fu De second hand market, near the new South Bus Station. (A couple blocks south of the south train station.) Easiest way to get there: bus #127, caught somewhere along Long Quan Lou or Yi-er-yi Street. If you head south on Qing Nian Rd., keep going south after it turns in Nan Ba Rd., and go through the big clover leaf. It should be on your right, as you head south. It more or less replaces the 2d hand market that used to be on Bai Yun Rd. Lots of 2d hand bikes, computers, etc., etc.
Around Town: Scenes of desolation in 'New Kunming'
Posted byI visited the Normal U. Campus and the Minorities U. campus around New Years. It's still a wasteland and probably very boring for students to live there. Faculty insist on living at their old Cui Hu area apartments.
Aside from all else, Cheng Gong has no public transportation, making it almost impossible to get around, unless you are one of the new rich, with a car. Just getting there from other parts of KM is very difficult, and I don't expect the subway to change that soon.

China and India look to strengthen ties
Posted byI've been telling my students for years that one reason to study English is that business with India is bound to grow. One need only look at the map to notice that two of the fastest growing countries in the world are almost side-by-side, and that Kunming is well-placed to benefit from that. English will almost certainly be how Indian and Chinese businessmen communicate.
