This notice was posted on the Kunming Water Authority's official WeChat account. Pardon the quick and dirty translation job:
"Water outages caused by pipe replacements will affect neighborhoods along Xuefu Lu (from Jiaochang Zhong Lu to Huangtupo), the Hongshan area, Jinding area, along Dianmian Dadao, along Puji Lu, the Gaoxin area and the northwest part of Kunming. Water outages may be complete in some areas, while others will see a lowering of pressure."
The scheduled stoppage time is Nov 28 at 10pm until Nov 30 at midnight.
I hope some of the more avid bird-watchers (of which I'm not) make some comments here. The best things I've seen so far are a Lady Amherst's pheasant on Dali's Cangshan, and a what looked like a family of Gaur outside of Tengchong. Not sure what they were though.
If anyone has a well-established English corner they would like to add to the GoKunming Calendar, feel free to get in touch with us through the contact form and we'll help you out:
Shame on me indeed. It was a huge error in judgement born out of frustration and grumpiness. Regardless of the reasons, what should have been a simple correction is instead now a glaring mistake. It was amateurish, dishonest and petty. Unfortunately this reflects badly on GoKunming when it should reflect badly on me alone. My apologies to @ludwig and to GoKunming's readers.
Gao Xingjian was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 2000. Although born in China in Jiangxi Province in 1940, he became a French citizen in 1997. There is no controversy – the Nobel Foundation recognizes Gao as French, as does the Chinese government. If you want to quibble, Gao was the first Chinese-born winner of the prize. Mo is the first Chinese citizen, as it clearly states in the article's final paragraph.

After considerable discussion between Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and China, it was decided that because the murder victims were Chinese nationals and the killings took place on Chinese vessels, the defendants should be tried in China.

Had the buffet here recently. A bit expensive but discounts are available for groups. Seafood, including crab, lobster and sushi were all fantastic. European and Chinese dishes were great as well. Beer was included with dinner. Overall, excellent service and food.
Excellent dumplings for omnivores, vegetarians and carnivores. This is a hole in the wall joint with no frills, but the owners are friendly and the dumplings are just right. Five stars if they get higher quality vinegar.
