Special flights to facilitate illegal activities？ You gotta be kidding.

I know some people, and some expats, are into consuming illegals substances, I think, but why stop at toking? Why not include tweaking too? Why not serve "happy" snacks on these flights?

Tacking this asinine proposal on to a Luddite like anti air travel ecology rant proves THAT, ANYTHING could happen ANYWHERE at ANY TIME!! I don't know if it will but there is maybe someone somewhere, or some expat might, possibly, post asking where these flights can be booked. I think. But I don't know? I am sure that this is incredibly dangerous. Proof: everybody, as far as we know, eventually dies from exposure to it or something else. I think. That's my 五毛！

Watching Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the 石林 float looked pretty good. Lots of pretty young ladies dancing.

I'll take cartoon character balloons, high school bands, dancing and singing over goosestepping missiles and tanks anyday!

Happy Thanksgiving to Americans! Happy Holiday season to all!

老子 wrote in 道德经 Of the need for harmony with the Dao. When I read, and tried to understand Daoism, I thought that the teaching was that man needed to be one with what is. I thought this idea was simple, complex and profound. I thought it might mean being in harmony with nature.

China may claim the 道德经 and Daoism as the Way but over the centuries she has often attempted to improve nature for the benefit of man. The ability to muster resources, manpower and fortune, to carve out solutions to perceived problems of mankind is to fail to see the Dao. Damming rivers, leveling mountains, and diverting waters to far off places is not harmonious. When man defies the Dao, balance is no longer maintained.

When balance is destroyed, man will suffer. That is the Dao.

Good for quality, but pricey, hand tools.

Be aware they will push whatever they are selling. Some of the staff have no idea about the technical side of appliances.

I went there to buy a stove. I repeatedly told them I would be using bottled gas. They sold me a stove. When I went to my local gas guy, I learned there are at least three kinds of gas sold. Luckily, B&Q did not deliver as promised. I went back to the store and discovered they had sold me a stove they needed to be hooked up to the gas main. I got my money back.

The sales lady was almost in tears, 没有问题！I don't know if it a safety or design issue, but I would think B&Q would know and care.

Last week had an 8:45am flight.

Subway starts at 9am. I have no idea where to catch an airport express bus. Eight taxis refused to go to the airport. After almost an hour standing on Beijing Lu took a black taxi, this dude drives slower than my mother, 120 yuan.

Flight back was delayed so I learned the subway stops running at 6:10pm.

Getting a taxi back was easy, more taxis than customers. Taxi was 87 yuan including 1o yuan toll, airport to Beichen area. Yes, he took a longer route than necessary.

Kunming imagines being a gateway for international travelers. New airport but hard to get to and from it.

World Class Airport, NOT!

Tonight "Peacock", a performance by Yang Liping (杨丽萍), to begin her world tour, 8pm, 100-1680 yuan at Yunna Haigeng Auditorium.

Saw this lady perform at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, in California, in 1995. Quite a good and interesting show.

I'm going to try to make it.

Not so good. Kimchi had a very sour taste. Other food was nothing to brag about. I don't think I would go back.
