- Kunming residents rally against chemical plant
  When I saw that Kunming people had asked the American government for help to stop the refinery and PX project on the Whitehouse Petition website I at first thought it was extremely funny, but when you feel your own government is not listening to you,,what options do you have?

- Kunming > B&Q
  百安居
  when we renovated we took our workmen to B&Q to select materials from their excellent range if samples. Then with that list in hand we went to the construction market near Mingbo bridge and got the same materials at either half or one third of the B&Q price.
  It's a good place for window shopping.
