    • Forums > Food & Drink > Where to good quality teapots and teaware?

      There used to be a teamarket behind Wall Mart at Xiaoximen, however I wouldn't try buying any teapots etc. here unless you bring a Chinese person with some knowledge. There are thousands of fakes around. I have 10 different teapots back home, they were all selected by a few tea loving friends of mine and together with some 4-7 year old Pu'er tea it's divine! :) Make sure to get some fragrance cups as well and some expensive tieguanyin tea. At least 100 kuai/hg. Don't buy any tea produced this year though, the drought etc has produced bad quality tea this year.

      Hell is a modern christian invention though so I guess we still have to see what happens and since the bible was compiled 300 years after Jesus death by a Roman emperor it does seem to lack some credibility don't you think? Keep on telling the same stories for 300 years and they tend to become somewhat exaggerated...

      People beleive in all kinds of things. My Chinese family beleives that taking anti-biotics will cure a cold, a 7 months old baby should be served spicy and salty food so he doesn't get diarrhea, a baby should drink a glucose solution between meals since its healthier than formula...

      Just saying that people tends to beleive in anything, as long as there are people that agrees with you.

    • Forums > Living in Kunming > Foreign citizenship for a baby born to a mixed couple

      Hope you are able to solve it! I had a friend who had to deal with the local government for ages before he got the exit permit for his son.

      Kunming is a bureaucratic hell hole... I took my pregnant wife with me to Sweden as fast as I could since the government in Kunming wouldn't even recognize our marriage (we got married in Sweden). Sometimes I wish my wife was from Shanghai, Beijing or any other "more civilized" part of China. We had our son the 30th last month and we lucky that he got his Swedish citizenship before China found him ;)

      Good luck mate!
