Forums > Living in Kunming > Installing a water heater

Having bought, and installed a couple of electric water heaters, the process is pretty simple. Both were bought at Suning and were Haier brand. The store arranged for a guy to come and do the work for a set price.

Both times I had the plumbing done so it was neat and out of the way. Both times this added a bit to the cost, but not much. One of the guys really liked how it looked after the work was done.

You should get crazy.laowai = tommann = mmteacher = latataille = Matt Miller = caveatipse = laowei74 to join you. He is proficient in six languages and an educated expert in all things food and culture.

Crazylaowai = tommann = mmteacher = latataille = Matt Miller = caveatipse = laowei74

Is this trollish or what? Bringing up BK again just to provoke posts is bizarre! Only a narcissistic personality like this troll would think people are obsessed with and are stalking him.

You put it well. I have the same view except I equate ideology with religion. Most ideologies are, to me, extremely similar to religions: require belief in something that is difficult or impossible to prove, require a set of behaviors mandated from afar, adherents refuse to discuss issues rationally and quickly get to ad hominem attacks when unable to convert others.

Matt, the only way there could be a conspiracy is if you and your alter egos are doing it. Come to think about it, crazy.laowai/tommann/mmkunmimgteacher/latataille does seem to constitute a narcissistic cabal engaged in a troll oriented activity.

Great article. I have already bought the book and it should finish down loading in the next week, or so. Jim Goodman's books are rich with photos and extremely informative. I have been to most places he has written about and his books really give understanding to what you see or have seen. For me, they are the best, but unintended, tourist books.

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.
