OK
So not expensive then.
A CT scan on its own can cost that much back home.

Thanks for the info. Seeing as you returned for more family treatment gives me more confidence.

Forums > Living in Kunming > E-Bike stolen/ Still have batteries

A quick thought, it may not be stolen.
If there was a fire inspection, the management would have moved it. They wouldn't necessarily tell you. Try looking in the nearest official bike parking spot.

Ask the management about this. The gate guard would not know if he was not on duty.

Failing that.
Look for a place that sells second hand ebikes. I guess a number are stolen. They may be willing to buy your battery.

The only other thing I can suggest is that you buy the same bike, and then you will have a spare battery.

I would also complain to the management about the security guards who must have seen someone push a bike without battery and not challenge them. We got compensation for a stolen laptop in one place. We negotiated, they would pay half, but we had to provide receipts.

Also inform police. If your bike cannot be peddled, it is possible that the bike has been pushed into a corner somewhere else in your development, until it can be picked up by van. A search may turn it up, but you have to be quick.

As with most big projects, among the biggest challenges will be the politics. This has already been seen in the China-Singapore project.

I used to work on govt projects in the UK and it is always the politics that proves one of the biggest hurdles, mostly before building even starts.

In a country where the government does not have to worry about the political fall out from such projects, it is easier to build what you want, largely where you want. As soon as other stakeholders get involved (especially if they have the power of veto, e.g. other countries, states or provinces) it gets bogged down very quickly.

I love this. The building will be a major traffic generator on one of the biggest pinch points on the inner ring road (Huancheng Nan Lu, Huancheng Xi Lu, meeting Dianchi Lu).
As the building is only a short distance from Er Huan Nan Lu, a lot of the traffic will want to join this second ring road. However, Er Huan Nan Lu is already overcapacity, and is perhaps the most congested section of 2nd ring road already.

There are numerous failed resorts across China. There was a resort built at Anning Hot Springs, complete with mountain walks and cable car. The remnants of the cable car can still be seen.
I find it interesting that the figures for tourism and real estate have been compiled. An increase in the combined figure does not necessarily mean that both are growing.

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.
