Forums > Living in Kunming > A bad day created by spam text. Do not delete the messages you received. Save them and file a police report. I know many people do not want to take the time to do this but believe me - it is worth the time.
These people continue to harass because no one takes the time to report them.
I just went through this a few weeks ago and the problem ended as soon as I filed a report. The police called each of the numbers that were sending me messages right in front of me at the police station.
Forums > Living in Kunming > GoKunming feedback I hope others can begin to see the writing on the wall - as it is very clear to me - Expect more rules and more censorship. In another similar post, Tiger briefly and directly stated - If it ain't broke, dont fix it. But no, the need to control, the need to make the world safe is too much for some to bear. What ever happened to the best rule of all - Live and let Live.
There are many times when I find some threads which I dislike but I find that Self censorship is the best - I just move on and continue with my life and not allow a few words on a screen to occupy space in my mind.
I found that people who are obssessed wish censorship (pornography, for example) on the internet are the same ones who can't keep their eyes off of it. Since they lack the self control to stop themselves they demand for censorship in hopes of bringing sanity to their own lives.
In the end, this site will self destruct on its own.

Spring, I agree with your comment - By the way, good people always see good things, evil people always see bad things.
Spring, I hope you do NOT think all westerners are the same. You came here for some simple assistance but all you got was sarcastic remarks. I will gladly help you check your paper but I am NOT an economics major. Send me private message of you still need help.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Dating Chinese Girls Crazy - I am wondering? What languages did you teach before? You stated that you have taught languages (plural) for years.
I am a 33 year old English teacher from French Louisiana. I will be in Kunming for about a year, then will be opening my own language schools around the world. I am educated with a Master's Degree in Languages. I have taught languages for years, including university level.
Forums > Living in Kunming > sex first or friends first? Nicy,
I am wondering? Do you have any western friends? Male or female? Any western teachers you may have met in the past? I am also wondering about your age? Are you in early 20s? Mid 20s? Early 30s? The reason I ask is because your age is relevant to this question.
Also, you wrote - I saw a lot of nice handsome guy looking for fun. I am confused. How do you know they are handsome? When you say you SAW, do you mean you actually saw them, met them, or do you mean you SAW their post?

New high-speed rail line to link Kunming with Dali
Posted byLife in Yunnan just keeps getting better. A 2 hour train ride to Dali is a lot better then taking the 4-5 hour bus ride. Not to mention the delays when there is a traffic accident.
Earth's budget deficit at 160%, hope stems from trees
Posted byEveryone needs to contribute - Now it begins - Yes, we must contribute but when the population does not make their deadline (Dec 31), we must pay - another tax coming just around the corner.
Just like life insurance in the good old USA, you will pay for it whether you want it or not. If you don't pay, they just steal it out of your bank account.
Agenda 21 - controlled by the UN (1 World Govt) will be in charge.
The Global Warming Lie has now conveniently morphed into Climate Change since the weather did not cooperate with the CO2 lies.
Funny how there is no mention of the real problems in the world. The EPA raises the safety limits on poisons every year so that the multinational companies can continue to pollute and make a profit. In the meantime, we get to eat, drink and breathe more pollutants.
Snapshot: Dali and Weishan
Posted byThere are several noodle shops that are still run by very old people. I saw a beautiful OLD noodle machine (at least 50-70 years old) in one shop and I would love to buy it (Keep an eye on the obituaries). It just needs to be cleaned up because it has decades of flour stuck on it and it will make a wonderful addition to a home museum.
Weishan has not been commercialized yet. Any smart foreigner with some business savy can buy up a lot of antiques very cheaply and make a great cafe/museum/information center/guesthouse like the one in Xishuangbanna; he has his fingers in every pot.
Lots to see in the surrounding area - great place to retire, still make an income, and be the #1 laowai of the town.
Heijing offers the same.
