I remember a story about a VPN and (Apple?) users a couple of years back. Everytime a work around was found, it was broadcast by users. Result, the work around was closed. Second result, row because the company called users too stupid to deserve the service.

The current situation is most likely temporary, it has been predicted for several weeks, and as said before will probably die down in four days.

"A nation yearning to be taken seriously on the global stage..."
This nations is being taken very seriously on the global stage and has been for many years. To be honest, I don't think national city rankings will make any difference.

Similar story with my iPhone 6. Apple service said beyond economic repair, buy a new one. In fairness the engineer suggested buy Huawei.

Took it to a backstreet guy. It took 20 mins to switch out a circuit board (total 1 hr including waiting in the queue) and cost 300rmb. They even gave a 30 day warantee.

I heard a story about Dinosaur valley, which may or may not be true. The fancy building you see from the highway is not the actual site, but the efforts of a bunch of entrepreneurial locals who wanted to cash in on the nearby site. It is not connected in any way with the archaeological site.

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.
