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.

We can argue about temperatures until the cows come home, and for political reasons, many people do. That is why the term 'global warming' has been superseded by the term 'climate change'.

As for the future. An important ecological presupposition is that an environment cannot be destroyed, only modified. The earths environment may be modified to a point where the earth can no longer support human life at the levels we have been used to. What happens then? Perhaps a lot of techno-fixes, to create micro climates that are less stressful for human life.

Perhaps, Africa will become more temperate, and other areas of the globe will become more hostile to life. Perhaps the droughts and famines will visit Europe and the Americas.

In nature, where the environment changes faster than animals can evolve, there is 'cultural evolution'. This is where animals change thier behavior in order to survive. The finches in the Galapagos isands are an example of this, where different species feed at different levels of the same tree, as a way of avoiding direct competition with other species. Personally, I think there is room for humans to undergo more cultural evolution.

Whatever the arguments about global warming.
Whoever is to blame.

DianChi is green with algae, and unsafe to swim in.
Urban air pollution/smog is recognised as a major problem in China.

The article mentions the kitchen supply market at DaShangHui.
I thought I had walked all of DaShangHui, but don't recall seeing kitchen supplies.

Can anyone give the exact location?

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.
