Forums > Living in Kunming > Respraying a bike frame

Most areas have a little backstreet workshop that does cheap car repairs, in fact some are not even on the backstreets, but are in the small commercial units on the streets outside residential area. You can usually see cars outside with body filler, and sometimes you can even smell the paint solvents.

These places would probably be cheap as they will used the end of a can of paint being used on a car repair.

There are also commercial areas that specialize in auto parts and repair. There is one on the north side of Rixing Zhong Lu, a little east of JingGuang Lu. This is quite a big auto parts area, several blocks. There are possibly paint shops here

Sometimes it can be the browser if the website is not configured to specifically work with that browser. I have seen that before, and it was suggested for people to use a different browser.
Seeing as Opera is made in China and has built in ad blockers and weepyend...one wonders.

I am using Chrome most of the time and have no problems connecting to GoKunming. From what I have experienced, it is only Google search engine that is inoperable here. The browsing works fine.
One thing that can cause glitches, is if your software needs an update. The other thing that can cause glitches is if you have done an update. 8(

I never did summer school, on principle. If the parents want to refry the kids brains, when they should be cooling for the summer, I didn't want to be a part of it. However, I am sure there are teachers who need the extra money.

I would guess that large infrastructure projects may be treated as state secrets. Sites may not be off limits (to Chinese nationals), but rather like collecting phone numbers/addresses, or using a GPS to map routes, it could get non-nationals into trouble.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
