I have to admit I am prejudiced. Being a meat eater I love Muslim restaurants, the food hygiene and general hygiene is better in most cases.

Ah! if only I could buy 'brillo' pads (soap filled pad of wire wool). Now they make any post sparkle.

Overheard on a Hong Kong message board: "Chinese people need not fear the radiation!"
Overheard on a Hong Kong message board:
「中國人根本不用擔心核輻射,內地網民﹕大家不要擔心日本核電站的輻射,這麼多年來,我們吃地溝油、化學火鍋、三聚氰胺奶粉、毒大米,皮革奶是為的是什麼呀?就是為在下一場生化戰爭中活下來。我們贏在起跑線上。」
"Chinese people need not fear the radiation. Netizens on the mainland: Let's not worry about the radiation from the Japanese nuclear plants. For so many years, we've been eating swill oil, chemical hot pots, melamine milk, toxic grains, "leather milk" — what's all this been for? It's all so we can survive in the next big chemical war. We'll be victorious on the front lines."
It may be cheaper/easier to buy a cheap phone. Several Nokias are under 600 rmb now, maybe some under 500 rmb.
Wow!!
Predictive cabling. Goes down BEFORE and earthquake.
I remember last time there was an earthquake in the China sea. It took a long time to get fixed. The slower/disrupted service was used to mask a big beefing up of the GFW.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
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.

Manufacturer addresses Kunming metro safety, comfort concerns

Just de-railed, no signal needed.
Can Kunming become a real international city?
Posted byDefine international city.
If you mean and international trade centre for SW China, I think Yunnan has missed the boat. Chongqing was on a par with KMG 6 or 7 years ago. It is now streets ahead. With the global recession, and even China's economic downturn, there are few opportunities to develop a new trading centre in SW China.
I know KMG and YN govt. want it, but I don't think they will get it. For Vietnam/Thailand/Etc. the extra flight time to Chongqing does not add a lot to the total door to door time. And when you get there all the main financial services are needed are already well developed, unlike KMG.
The other issue is how do you staff institutions from a work pool of people with a poor work ethic. Yunnan has never been known to be industrious. Chongqing is a cut-throat business environment, like Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Shanghai. In Yunnan people want easy money, and then kick back and play Mah-jong.
