I will continue to observe gokunming's weather forecast (forwarded from wherever) and know that it sometimes will get or has got cold somewhere in Time. Fortunately, this is Kunming, I no longer have to live according to a schedule (Salvador's closes at 11PM, I remember that), and so it's all rarely much of an issue...
So it was originally forecast to be 4C at 4AM this morning, whether that happened or not; or it's forecast to go down to 4C before midnight tonight; or before sunrise tomorrow? If it's the first, it doesn't really help anybody now, does it? If it's the second, then I guess I better carry my down jacket; if the third, I'll perhaps just come home early.
Or are the forecasts supposed to be sunrise to sunset and then after sunset they're for sunset to sunrise or wtf?
Curious about gokunming's weather forecasts - right now I read "11AM, 11C", plus humidity etc. All right, but the other numbers for temperature are 15C and 4C - do these represent previous temperatures between midnight and 11AM (i.e. that it went down to 4C this morning, after midnight last night), or predictions (i.e., that it will go up to 15C between now and midnight tonight and down to 4C before midnight tonight? I'm always confused, because the coldest hour is usually around 4AM.
Now THAT is a great idea for a long trip - congratulations!
My understanding is that Xiong Brothers bike shop is a good place, but I'm not really the one to ask.
No results found.
I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.
Bureaucratic declaration limits Yunnan countryside fun
Posted byThis kind of micromanaging is absurdly anal anyway, but note that, at 12 dishes per 10 people at a table and total bill for table not to exceed Y200, that means less than Y20 per guest.
This might not be too bad an idea in some "rural areas" - particularly poor ones - but it'll never fly. Not that I think it's a bad idea generally to slap fatcats upside the head.

Off the beaten rack: Finding real souvenirs in Laos
Posted byNice article. Couple of notes (1) as a general rule, seems to me it would be nice if those who put bombs in the ground in a war they lost should be require to clean them up - rather doubt if the UN or any similar organization will ever have the power to enforce such, or even have the balls to propose it, considering that their sponsors are governments. So the world must wait for tourists.. (2, more practical): better to do 10 hours conscious on the day bus from LP to Vientiane than to try to sleep on it at night. .
