Forums > Living in Kunming > Found out I am not really because because I don't drink

This topic has nothing to do with nationality or ethinicity. You can always find the social alcoholic in any group because he is the one filling everybody's glass as soon as it gets emptied.

This is typical dysfunctional behavior that goes hand in hand with Misery loves company. The alcoholic knows his drinking is bad, so he forces others to join him so the behavior does not seem so bad any more because there are others doing the same bad behavior.

I am a non-drinker. I drink 3-5 times in one year, I only drink beer, and when I drink I never drink more than 1 beer. This is my idea of a non-drinker. However, there are people in recovery (former drinkers) who no longer drink. BillDan mentions that he has been in abstinence for 6 years so he is the latter of the 2 non-drinkers.

Regardless of what type of non-drinker you are, you need to understand that the social alcoholic is the problem, not you. So dont take it personally. When you refuse a drink from a social alcoholic, he will feel the spotlight on him because he needs others to share in his bad behavior. The moment you say NO, others will also say no and this is his worst nightmare. So don't let it bother you. He has a problem, not you. Good luck.

It is very difficult to get legitimate statistics regarding this issue. I am really looking for the maximum capacity of each reservoir. So far, I only know that Yun Long capacity is 484 mcm - million cubic meters. Even in chinese websites it is difficult to get info regarding the recent rainfall.

I found a website that lists the rainfall in Kunming since 1942.

www.tutiempo.net/en/Climate/Kunming/567780.htm

The years with the highest and lowest rainfall are listed below:

HIGH – 79, 80, 81, 83, 86, 94, 97

LOW – 82, 84, 87, 88, 09, 11

Interesting to note that the highs and lows were almost consecutive between 1979 and 1988.

I got some conflicting info regarding the number of reservoirs in Kunming. Not sure if there are 7 or 8 reservoirs.

DISTRICT - NAME
CHENG GONG - SONG MAO
CHENG GONG - GUO LIN
PAN LONG - JIN DIAN
PAN LONG - SONG HUA BA
PAN LONG - SONG HUA BA
XI SHAN - MING LANG
XI SHAN - SAN JIA CUN

Hope to get some news regarding the recent rainfall and the effects on the reservoir levels

Please stop assuming the worst about me, and writing novel-length manifestos about (be) This word should be ME.

I am not assuming - I am copying and pasting your own words to this post. If they are your own words then they are FACTS, so I have no need to assume.

I laugh at the ridiculous examples given of philanthropy. Obviously written by someone who has no idea of what is going on in the world. Rich people do not go to jail, they just pay fines. When a rich person or a company pays a fine it means they are GUILTY. When rich people kill and murder innocent people they are not called murders and go to jail, they merely pay a fine. Maybe you can google some of the many examples of rich not going to jail and only paying fines.

History Never stops - It is just written by the winners (rich) and history never changes. Cut social programs and give more money to the military. Ask people at random, Was Hugo Chavez and Gadaffi good or bad? Now wait to hear their response.

Can someone name one rich person who helps the less fortunate. I really am interested in hearing this answer.

Most people are Not able to make the paradigm shift and this is why the world does not change. I for one have no idea what to do with 9 billion - Insane! But my life would forever change with 1 million. Think about how many 1 Millions are in 9 Billion.

The state owned lottery builds the old people's gym equipment you find in the parks - Wow!

Just like BINGO in the USA, you keep calling the numbers until there is a winner. Rather than have one 9 billion winner you can have 10 or 50 1 million winners. People can have better lives and the state still makes a profit. But Greed prevents this from ever happening!

50 people with 1 million can change many peoples lives (family or friends) as opposed to one winner of 9 billion that only happens once in a blue moon.

Go to any poor neighborhood in the US and you will find a liquor store and a check cashing store in every corner. Go to any residential area here in Kunming and you will find a lotter store in every corner as well.

Lottery gives people False hope and it is their greed that makes them sit in the store staring at the next magical numbers for hours.

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.
