I own an older Bose QC (quiet comfort) series which has amazing noise cancellation. Works much better than earplugs. Though wire is restrictive, particularly in your workshop setting.
The latest Bose QuietComfort 35 II are wireless with smarter features. Blows away Beats headphones and any generic earbuds in terms of sound quality depth. Look for them on TMall flagship now for possible 11/11 promotions.
In worst case scenario, if repair is too expensive or unfixable, use Bluetooth headphones. If Android, airpod knockoffs are ubiquitous and works well. No more wire tanglement.
Ouch, price surge. My advice is always look for grand opening discounts. If not, then anniversary sales a year later. Also try taobao2 flea market where 2nd hand sellers may try to resale/scalp cheaper packages they've purchased earlier during sales events.
Hope your kid enjoyed his/her time there. Don't remember the floor level, but a humongous, indoor trampoline and climbing jump park at a corner is also worth a visit. Biggest one I've ever seen with giant trampolines. Very spacious. Supervised for safety by many staff members, with viewing deck for parents on upper floor like the ice rink. Perhaps next time.
As a self-proclaimed TMall singles' day savant, I want to let everyone know presales for many flagship stores is commencing at midnight, tonight. Three weeks prior to main event on November 11 to spread out the overwhelming purchases nationwide to alleviate logistic burdens.
For example, the flagship store for Konka, the number two TV manufacturer in China, is holding a special sale of their 65-inch 4K TV for only 2 grand. That's a steal.
30-minute window to make payments, between 00:00 - 00:30. No customer limits as far as I know, so very doable.
So get your Chinese friends to help you out if a bargain 65" 4K is on your x'mas wish list.
I myself don't watch TV, so will be trying to steal a cheap sofa on other TMall flagship stores tonight.
No results found.
The first of gaggle of gulls has arrived
Posted byIt's funny you mention this lemon. Keen observation. I also noticed most are white-headed with a black dot in earlier months, but in February many appear black headed.
Either these black dots grow to cover entire face after a few months here, or the black-headed gulls arrive much later and stay for a shorter duration. My hunch is the former.
Snapshot: Chasing black snub-nosed monkeys in the forests of northwest Yunnan
Posted byThank you for the beautiful photographs Fabio. We look forward to more Yunnan culture, wildlife, and landscape through your lens. Happy journeys with Vera.
Whether snow leopards, yaks, llamas, or these funky monkeys, the sheer amount of fur these guys sport at cold, high altitudes speaks volume of evolutionary natural selection and adaptivity of our mammalian kins.

Posted byBut Carl also spins breakbeat, which is a mixture of funk, jazz and R&B. So Detroit techno shouldn't be the sole answer as that limits his range. Darn, I was hoping to win this. Next time.
TeamLab "Future Amusement Park"
Posted bySince we're on the subject of Hang Lung Spring 66, Crystal Jade Golden Palace restaurant on the 6th floor may be worth a visit after experiencing TeamLab on the 2nd floor.
Their sister restaurant in Singapore received a Michelin one star:

Acclaimed dishes are their BBQ pork (炒烧肉) hung on racks. The dongpo meat (东坡肉) looks succulent. The sweet sour pinnaple fried and cooked fish is also tasty. Portions of other dishes like steamed eggplants are quite generous and delicious as well. A group of staffers can be seen preparing steamed pork buns (小笼包) behind see-through glass.
If you're closer to Nanya mall, Crystal Jade has a store there too, I think. And another one somewhere else in Kunming.
TeamLab "Future Amusement Park"
Posted byOur new editor is on a roll. Pumping out articles seemly every few days. We appreciate your super work ethic. Thank you!
This TeamLab future amusement park looks like a place where children would enjoy. Per Vera's descriptions, an unique interactive medium to unleash your child's creativity. Heck, the kid in me would be just as giddy. Being immersed in all that glow in dark black light is already enough to wow me, let alone DIY art works animated into life and interacting with others. Pretty cool.
For parents thinking about where to take their hyperactive kids with too much pent up energy, the new Aegean Shopping Mall on Baiyun Road No. 168 features a sizable ice skating ring with ice hockey classes what not. Also, another enormous two storey jungle cage with zip lines, trampolines, and assortment of bouncy objects & balls, and challenging climbing obstacles to satisfy the inner ape in all of us.
