Seems like you guys also know each other in real life,
Why dont you just grap a cup of coffee or tea and talk things out other than exchanging hostilities on gokunming. Would be nice in future if the threads wouldnt always go off the topic ;-)
Remember Sammy26?. He is still active, but on gochengdoo. Apparently he is in China now :-DD
"looking for a gf with marriage potential
hi everyone.
I'm here to find a Chinese girlfriend for serious long-term relationship.
I live in Guangxi Guilin so you should be ready to relocate here in the nearest future (next couple of months) to live with me for at least a year so that we could see if we really match and can marry. After that year I could consider relocating elsewhere or we could stay in Guilin.
I am white, tall, handsome, but a little lonely. I'm 28.
It doesn't really matter how you look like or how old you are, what matter to me is your personality, temper and attitude. You should be easy going, submissive, loyal, caring and tolerant. Ideally you are a virgin, but it's ok if you are not. Please speak English cause my Chinese is limited.
If you are interested, reply me with a photo and a self-introduction and let's see how it goes. My email: roman.samm07@yahoo.com"
If you post the ad in English, you can be sure that only Chinese English teachers who can really read and understand English reply.
Even if they dont have psychological follow ups, there are also health risks depending on whether the procedure is performed safely or unsafely and at what stage the pregnancy is. An abortion can also lead to miscarriage, preterm birth and stillbirth in future pregnancies.
So, I wonder what those girls with multiple abortions tell their future husbands and parents, why they cant have a baby...
Appareantly due to a lack of sexual education, they are probably not even aware of those risks...
@Alien: Im not overstating anything.
Maybe you should just read these two articles:
world.time.com/[...]
Every year 13 million abortions are conducted in China (the abortion rate is well above global average). These figures were released by the Chinese government. Also:
"The Chinese statistics, published last week, only account for surgical procedures conducted at licensed hospitals and clinics, and don't take account medically induced abortions or procedures conducted at the unlicensed clinics seen in poorer parts of the country."
And
"Almost half of the reported procedures were conducted on women below the age of 25, the majority of whom were university students. Recent surveys have shown a surprising lack of awareness about basic sexual health among China's youth. A survey published by the China World Contraception Day Organization showed that more than 68% of Chinese women were confused about the difference between oral contraceptives and the morning-after pill. Just 1.2% of Chinese women take oral contraceptives, compared with 30% to 50% of women in some developed countries."
"Fewer than ten per cent of sexually active couples regularly use condoms, according to the state-run Science and Technology Research Institute."
There are even student discounts at some clinics here in Kunming.
No results found.
havent been there in months, because I wasnt too impressed. but some friends and I thought we should give it a try again.
This was definitely the last time we went there... very unfriendly staff who dont pay any attention and the owner asking you whether you cant squeeze in the last slice of pizza when she cleared the table...
About the pizza, very oily and low quality products used for making it
Kunming neighborhoods face water rationing
发布者As I said before: Complete mismanagement and ignorance. What really makes me laugh is, on the one hand it's drought, but they still water the plants in my xiaoqu with tap water and of course in the afternoon when sun is at it's peak. On the other hand when it's raining, and heavy rain is very common here, everything is flooded within minutes.
By the way, who helps the elderly people to carry their water buckets into their apartment?
Life in Kunming: A cabbie's perspective
发布者@magnifico: In China everyone asks anyone about their income. Also about your age. Back home a no go, but here absolutely fine.
Plus, it's a general question about this particular industry. Might even be the case, that taxi drivers here in China have a good income not like the ones back home.
Still waiting for the answer of the question: How much does a taxi driver make per month?
Kunming neighborhoods face water rationing
发布者@Elisa: Good question, because for watering the streets 中水 (reclaimed water) is used not tap water.
Kunming neighborhoods face water rationing
发布者The questions is: What causes the drought? Is it the vast destruction of the environment (cutting down forests, removing whole mountains, building dams and so on) or is it only because of climate change as some Chinese government 'experts' say. If you know the answer, you can solve the problem instead of just cutting the water supply.
Second question: Does Kunming and Yunnan use up more water then they posses?
Growing agricultural and flower sector (plants need water and animals use up huge amounts of water during their lifetime), changing life style (cars, meat and so on), mining, construction sites (you need water for mixing concrete and while the concrete dries) and so on
Are there ways to use the water more efficient and not waste it?
Non leaking pipelines and more clarification plants...
I clearly doubt, that any of the government officials would ever think that far. Beijing is the best example. They havent got enough water, so they redirect water from the Yangtze river which is just 1500km away. Not considering the vital consequences...

发布者The problem is not the drought. It's the complete mismanagement of precious ressources. Instead of spending money on the construction and maintainance of the water system (pipelines) and the waste water system including clarification plants, Yunnans officials rather spend it on prestige buildings. Why? Because the officials on the next higher level will only judge on what they see, meaning above surface.
It's very easy: If you already havent got enough of something, dont waste it.
