Thank you. I prefer to buy things locally when possible, but I will resort to Taobao if necessary.
Some clothes that I recently took out of storage have a really stubborn mildew odor, worse than I have encountered in any other country/city. Remedies I have tried so far without success include: repeated washing with extra detergent, boiling water, white vinegar (the 9度 kind sold at corner grocery shops), and extended exposure to sunlight.
Questions:
1) Has anyone been able to get rid of this type of smell here, and if so how?
2) Has anyone found borax, ammonia water, or OxiClean around town?
Thank you
Does anyone happen to know if the Bank of China central branch at Beijing Lu & Renmin Lu is open this week?
I was hoping to wire funds abroad before the weekend. Nobody picked up on their main phone line so I'm guessing they're on vacation, but any definite info would be helpful.
Has anyone had luck finding stores in Kunming with a decent selection of pants for men 6 feet / 180 cm or taller ? I would appreciate any suggestions for specific places to try shopping.
No results found.
Grace is staffed by American doctors and, in my experience, provides the same level of expertise and standard of care that you would expect to find in a good clinic in the U.S. I highly recommend them.

Posted by@sean1: The thing is that it's a weak field, so I don't really support anyone in particular enough to sing their praises. But Buttigieg (fake), Biden (senile) and Klobuchar (bully) are all just blatantly awful. I suppose I could live with Sanders, Warren or even Bloomberg, although they each have serious flaws.
As far as Pete's donor stats, yeah, a lot of people seem to have been bamboozled, which is disappointing to see. And I don't think the fact that he's the poorest candidate gives any reassurance that he won't cater to the interests that have ravaged the country over the past generation. Maybe the opposite.
Also, while I am not a huge fan of Sanders and therefore am reluctant to carry water for him, I don't think the UK results necessarily translate to the US. Corbyn was abysmally unpopular, due in large part to his humorlessness, links to violent extremists and allowing anti-Semitism to fester within his party. Sanders has none of those faults and polls as the most popular active political figure in the US. Plus Labour's traditional electorate was fractured by the all-important Brexit issue, and there is no comparably powerful wedge issue at stake in the US.

Posted byButtigieg is just so transparently fake, it amazes me how many people are taken in by his faux-sincere schtick. Although I can see how Patrick Bateman might approve: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gc_bMkbOOs

An oxymoron. MAD is bi-directional, hence the "mutual". Both sides have reduced leverage over each other under MAD, because threats to use conventional force have low credibility in light of the extreme risks involved.

Turn that smile upside down, sezuwupom. Expressing positive sentiments about fast, comfortable, affordable and environmentally-sustainable new rail connections is not allowed by the comments police. Anyone who is not sufficiently glum will be ridiculed.
