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?
Weishan, Yunnan: Birthplace of an ancient kingdom
Posted byWeishan has got to be one of the most original places left in Yunnan. Not commercialized and people are kind and not out for money.
Jianchuan was also the same but now that the highway runs right through it has already changed. Same for Shaxi and Shuang Lang in Dali.
Visit Weishan while you can. Great place to go and just hang out and relax, Wei Bao Shan is 11 km away. I like it because you can see all the temples by walking in a circle without having to backtrack. Much better than Shi Bao Shan in JianChuan, Dali.

Posted byThe new airport is roughly 25 kilometers south of the lakeshore - Those nasty taxi drivers are sure going to make a killing. Of course, they will NOT use the meter.

Fracking comes to Southwest China
Posted byUnfortunately, the map provided with the locations of fracking is very small and I can not make out the names of the locations. However, one can see that they are in the SE of Sichuan.
I will take some time later to make out the exact locations and provide the names of the prefectures and counties they are located in.
For those who are not aware, this is the juncture of the Min and Yangtze Rivers. Above Yibin, the Yangtze is also known as the Jinsha River. Below Yibin, the Yangtze is known in Chinese as the Chang Jiang or "Long River."
