Cheap computers from name brand companies in China are a complete rip off. If they are legit they will come with a Chinese only version of Windows 8, and the specs will be considerably less than if bought elsewhere. Or it will cost considerably more, like 30 or 40% more...
Some newspapers have reported it's because Microsoft won't let the Chinese government see the source code for Windows 8. Which they had access to for Windows 7.
But to be fair cars and bikes park everywhere. Thus Turning your 4 lane road into a one lane traffic jam as two cars just sit and honk at each other....
Not just google. Everything is much slower than usual. If I load any foreign website that isn't popular it first says it doesn't exist. If I can connect it will be slow. If I just wait a few minutes and try again it will be fast.
They also seem to be filtering every movie. Even personal movies I uploaded to my VPS in Singapore won't load the first few tries. Or it will load, but then mysteriously stop because of fake packets being sent saying the file is finished, or some other odd thing my server never sent.
Connect to VPN and the movies download fine at 3 to 5 mbps without problems. Friends in Thailand have no problem downloading the movies at 10 mbps.
Making he's going for an insanity plea for whatever he's running from. Seeking asylum in North Korea certainly qualifies as insane.

Cheese tasted great. Much better than other pizza joints.
Excellent salad bar. Hamburgers are usually ok. The fancier dishes were a little lacking.
Giving it a 4 stars for the salad bar. If you were going there for "fine dining" then probably best to go somewhere else.
The store also has some nice imported food(though obviously Metro is cheaper for some things). The freshly baked goods are nice too.
Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.
Not bad. Pretty much what you would expect, but expensive for China.
Expensive, but decent bread. Other places are better, but not bad if you're in a hurry.
American conservative group makes inroads into China's classrooms
发布者I don't think high schools and universities are going to have a week long session of role-playing. It will be just another pamphlet given to students along with the current material, and then likely never be discussed in class beyond a few minutes.
Besides that, discussing family values in high school and college is a wee bit late. Heck, in my rural conservative hometown we started studying sex education in 4th grade.
Another point is that the English should probably be "addicted to" and not "mentally dependent on"
Welcome to the new GoKunming.com!
发布者The layout seems a little unbalanced, but not bad. I think it's because some text that doesn't have it's own boxed in background seems lost, like it's just floating around. Forums need to be updated to have threaded posts.. a rating system would be great. Even if it would something as simple as marking posts as "troll/flame" or "off topic".
Yunnan news roundup
发布者I think the shortage of water is of usable water. I've heard that Dianchi lake is so bad that they can't even use the water for industrial usage. So I'm guessing, or at least hoping the water they use is ok for grass, but not for drinking... probably sewage water.

发布者haha... the schools "quarantine" is useless. Students regularly leave the school. There's even a path between the bushes where they leave.
Many students have already gone home. Supposedly they're all supposed to come back now and sit around to do nothing.
Plus they let everyone and anyone talk at the main gate.
