Forums > Travel Yunnan > Mixed-race Couple Stalked and Assaulted in Kunming

I really do not get it. I have been here going on 14 years this Dec and I have never been attacked in any way - verbally or physically. Keep in mind that I am always photographing taxi and bus drivers and reporting them or threatening to report them for not using their meters. I do this in plain site with 10-20 other cabbies standing around in front of many bus stations. Great opportunity for them to jump on me or my wife gang style.

Years ago, I stopped 8 chinese guys in their 20s from beating the crap out of another smaller chinese guy. I did this by grabbing the biggest guy there by the throat. Neither he nor his 7 buddies resisted and they let the other guy go. I am 166 cm, the big guy was over 175 cm. They could have easily turned on me but they did not.

This case seems unique in that the person (Liam) attacked was not under the influence or hanging out in Kundu or doing other alcohol related activities. Every time I hear of these attacks I always wonder what was the triggering element as most chinese are not aggressive. Again, this case is atypical.

I have found that a simple smile can prevent 95% of any altercation and the eye of the tiger can avoid the remaining 5%.

Please keep in mind that this is NOT a good time to travel. Very crowded and hectic during this 3 day period.

The article is a joke but the cheng guan problem is real.

There is a place near my house where they store all the trikes and vending carts that the CG confiscate from the poor people just trying to make an honest living.

"You see that cart they're eating apples from?" he replied, gesturing toward the officers. "That used to be mine."

Have another party - bring a booth and put the chenguan inside - charge 5 yuan per person to throw rubber bricks at them - they can raise millions in a few hours.

Although some kids are not slim as they used to be - some middle school kids are tall and big now because of all those hormone grown meats - The majority still remain relatively slim.

However, they are very weak and out of shape because they sit in school all day and at home also doing homework.

They barely can do a few pushups, can not even do a pul-up - like private Pyle, and they get tired after walking short distances.

The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.
