I am just wondering why some users still comment here in the last 2 days but do NOT verify? What reasons would they have for not verifying?

Forums > Living in Kunming > Anyone replace a Chinese style with Western Toilet You need a good worker who will do the job right. Main problem is that when they install the new western toilet, they dont seal the old large whole properly and then you have leaking into the neighbors ceiling. Then you have to pay someone else to do it all over again.
I watch workers all day because they want to save on materials. They will do a (8:1) sand:cement mix and they fill it with broken brick to use less cement. This is worthless because the sand and brick absorb water and it will leak 1 year later.
Yunnan's Stone Treasure: Shibao Mountain
Posted byYou can rent a taxi from Jianchuan for 200 Yuan. The taxi will take you to all 3 temples and bring you back to Jianchuan.
You can also do the entire loop for 250 Yuan. Jianchuan to Shi Bao Shan then on to Shaxi and then back to Jianchuan.
I recommend you stay an extra day and climb 1000 Lion Mountain. I really like this place.

Yunnan preparing warily for China smoking ban
Posted byI have seen many changes over the last 10 years here in Kunming. Although smoking still has a long way to go, it is much improved than it was in the past.
Most taxis are now 100% smoke free. Street buses are 100% smoke free now. Long distance buses are also 100% smoke free. The only problem still seems to be the small buses that go to the villages.

Posted byMy wife just translated this article for me. This is our little critter as it mentions our residential quarter. Glad to see he has a few more days of life in the wilderness before someone else recaptures him.
