Covid-19 affects everybody differently, and hopefully your infection does not morph into Long Covid.. My cough and phlegm-hocking lasted for 8 months.. Now, after 32 months, I have a normal bowel movement, fewer chronic headaches, milder brain-fog, but still some chronic fatigue.. There is no treatment or cure..
China Daily states that after the first year, $1.4 billion of freight moved between the 2 cities.. Through what used to be a wall of mountains, the 1050 km trip is made in 10 hours..
Damned impressive!
Pop an Immodium; you're looking good for 12 hours..
You get wok; you cook good.. Forget funny restaurant..
Go ahead and laugh, @AlPage48, but being deported for a visa overstay has its perks: the police book your flight to whichever city you choose, handle your luggage & transport to your exiting city, and pick up the tab for everything.. A very friendly experience..
The only drawback is not being able to return for 3 years; a nice break.
Good luck !
I paid 120 under a tent somewhere; same day result, in Chinese..
Thing about it was, from KM to Guangzhou to Los Angeles to Istanbul, not once was I asked to show test results or medical documents..
Not until entering the EU zone after Istanbul was it checked..
This was in April..
No results found.
China-Laos railway now connecting cities of Kunming and Vientiane
Posted byAccording to the China Daily article, the 10 & 1/2 hour trip includes 3 hours for border visa formalities, so the actual travel time is 7 & 1/2 hours.. Damned impressive !
Travel in the times of Ebola — and Covid-19
Posted byWhat a long, strange trip Thor has had!
When & if Ebola mutates and goes airborne, it will make CV-19 look like child's play.. A book, 'The Hot Zone' will make you a believer..
Plastic not-so-fantastic: Kunming and plastic waste
Posted byOff topic: I was fortunate to have visited the cemetery of Rachel's namesake; Ernest "Papa" Hemingway, at Ketchum Idaho. Far off the beaten track; a winter ski resort area, it was worth the detour, for those with a literary inclination..
He lies alongside wife Mary, with a slender evergreen at the head of both graves, which were simple slabs of dark granite; about 8 feet (2 & 1/2 M) long.. Visitors had left little trinkets, coins, etc, at the foot of the graves; otherwise, no magic-markings or signs of desecration in this quiet and desolate location.. Other Hemingway graves were not far away, but whose names I don't remember.
Plastic not-so-fantastic: Kunming and plastic waste
Posted byAnd when in doubt, recycle anyway. Even if the plastic is unfit for re-use, it is generally incinerated in environmentally approved facilities, with proper filtration.
Burnt unfiltered plastic releases toxic levels of p.c.b's.
Plastic not-so-fantastic: Kunming and plastic waste
Posted byIt is regrettable that bio-degradable plastic has yet to gain traction on an industrial basis. It was developed around 5 years ago, in the US, as I recall.
Many people simply don't grasp the theory of recycling; never have and never will.
My experience indicates that southern Europe is as guilty of plastic pollution as the Asian nations; there are simply many more people in Asia.
