KickassTorrents (KAT), has been apprehend by the US authorities and the site's domains seized.
There is the key word - seized - by the most corrupt and bankrupt (morally + financially) country in the world.
Wait till you to try to get a hotel. Not like mainland China where you can get a room for 200 RMB. Expect to pay a pretty penny for a tiny nasty room. If kids are in tow, expect to pay more. The 100 for the train will seem like nothing. Bring ATM card and plenty of cash.
God bless the USA and their love of IPR and patents.
Yes, very good - this is exactly the agenda. Complete 100% control of your life. Every time I use an ATM out of my area my account gets locked - NO money for 24-48 hours while I am travelling.
They say is for MY security - but it is to control. Withdrawls from the banks have limits - limits for your own money (50,000 RMB in 1 day) - now that is control. That is to prevent runs on banks when SHTF - it is to protect themselves.
The discount I mentioned at the theater is just a discount for anyone who uses wechat. No money required in any account. If you pay using wechat (your phone to their register - still pay cash) you get a 50 rmb discount. Now that is to get as many people hooked to further control.
Cashless society is the goal. Does anyone every answer phones any more - NO! So when you have a problem you have STOP living and go fix their problem they created.
Examples - a 5 yr old was not allowed to fly because he was on the NO-Fly list. So what should the parents do, go on vacation and let the 5 y/o fix his problems. Of course not, vacation cancelled, non refundable tickets lost for entire family. Does the govt reimburse you - NO!
A guy goes to apply for social security, finds out that he is dead - he spends more than 2 years trying to prove he is still alive.
We already know that if you owe a nickel to the IRS they will come get their money. Do they tell you as soon as they discover the problem - NO. They wait until you incur penalties and fines and you end up paying hundreds.
Owe money to the IRS, too bad, no need for court, they just go into your bank account and get with penalties and fines. If they are wrong they return your money years later but with no penalites or fines.
You are deemed a terrorist because you went to a protest - your account is frozen. No money for you until this is resolved - takes months or years - Hehe!
FBI raids, they will confiscate all you own and good luck trying to get it back After you prove you are innocent and they made a mistake.
No results found.

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.
