Forums > Living in Kunming > expat population in Kunming OOOOPs - Who is Roberto Duran? I am old, but not that old (48). I used to watch boxing and I knew all the boxers and their their weight class on regular television (Wide World of Sports) until cable came and provided the same services for a fee. I used to watch the Olympics every 4 years with great excitement with my father until cable came and all that ended. I used to drink water from the tap until the govt decided to give this service to a private owner who filtered the water with the same technology as was done before, except that rather than putting it into a pipe, he put it in a bottle that had to be carried into my house and he raised the price 100 times. Who can forget Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray?
Forums > Living in Kunming > expat population in Kunming I know why I left Amerika and came to China. After serving 20 years in the Marine Corps my eyes began to open and I realized how I, and the entire population in the USA has been fooled. I used to be proud of my service to my country. I met other people like me, who wanted to serve and to help until I realized I was being used for evil purposes. I have met Freemasons, Knights of Columbus, Christians, Muslims, people from NGOs who were just like me - who wanted to give and to serve. But the reality is that at the lower echelons we are fooled and tricked and deceived. Yes, we serve from our hearts but what we dont realize is that our service is used to conceal the true Evil purposes of those who really control us.
It was then that I decided that I will not be a part of this group, organization, religion - call it what you will. I will not let others use my GOOD services to conceal their EVIL purposes.
Abortion, religion, gun control, deforestation, animal rights, you name it, - good people get involved because they care but they are blind and being used. Research any NGO and you will find who they are funded by - the Evil puppeteers who control us in the end.
My best friend from high school who joined the Marines with me worked aboard Air Force One for 3 years. He told me what he witnessed. Another good friend was on Embassy duty for 3 years. Just so you know, only the Marine Corps serves in all embassies around the world. An embassy is just a front for the CIA to filter in their journalist, NGOs, and spies.
As long as we sit here arguing over religion, gun control, and other topics, we remain DIVIDED and th banksters remain LAUGHING at us. All these topics DIVIDE.
I left the USA so that I can no longer be used. It is called GUILT by association. When you realize that yoour Good deeds are being used for alterior evil motives, only then will you say - in the words of Roberto Duran - NO MAS!
Forums > Travel Yunnan > Charge option in train? I have a solution - Turn off all the gadgets and put the toys away in your bag and communicate the old fashioned way with the people around you for those 24 hours. Stay in the present. See how many people in your phone really miss you and observe any withdrawl symptoms from coming off the gadgets.
Yunnan's largest hydroelectric dam goes online
Posted byDoes anyone have specific directions on how to visit this dam? Where exactly is it? I see a lookout point in the picture so I assume visitors can come.
Deputy mayor answers 12345 hotline
Posted byI am glad to see more people get involved in their community and use this hotline. I was surprised to read that they receive 2000 calls each day.
I prefer to use the internet site - where I can receive a reply.

Video: Unseen Stone Forest
Posted byThe video is very informative but does NOT specifically tell you where these locations are located. The entrance ticket to SHI LIN (Stone Forest) is 175 Yuan. I prefer to buy an annual ticket for 200 Yuan and I can use it at any time during the year. Bring your passport and you can purchase an annual ticket which includes entrance to the MAJOR stone Forest, MINOR stone Forest, BU SHAO SHAN, LI ZI YUAN QING, WAN NIAN LING ZHI, and NAIGU stone Forest (Black Stone Forest).
Most of the footage on the video is of the Black Stone Forest. Few people know about it so each time I go, there are very few visitors, less than 5 people. This location has been completely renovated but it lacks many basics. However, There is NOWHERE to purchase any food or water anywhere in the entire park.
Another location seen in the Video is DA DIE SHUI Waterfall. This USED TO BE included in the price of the entrance ticket more than 1 year ago but it no longer is considered part of the Stone Forest. Presently, the waterfall scenic area is under renovation. The Waterfall is located more then 30 km away from the main park. 2 years ago, you can purchase tickets for the waterfall ONLY for 18 Yuan but I have no idea what the price will be after the renovation is complete.

Kunming's Red alley: Jiexiao Xiang
Posted byI ASSUME that the writers and staff of GOKUNMING write these articles in an effort to inform the reader of an event or location of some significance in and around Kunming.
I find many of these articles lacking in vital information. In an attempt to be CREATIVE, the writers fail in being INFORMATIVE.
For example, the writers mentions Jiexiao Xiang many, many times but fails to tell the reader where this place is. Is it somewhere in Yunnan? Is it in Kunming? There are 5 districts in Kunming - is it in Pan long District? Or is it in one of the other 4 districts? Is there a major crossroad where this small alley can be found. Perhaps near Beijing Road or Guangfu Road.
I enjoy travelling and seeing new places and I research many of the places I visit. But I really would like to read an article here and NOT be left with MORE questions than when I started.
I ask the staff of GOKunming to please be more specific when writing about places to visit and give SPECIFIC directions such as name of town or village and county and prefecture when writing. Thank you.
