going slightly off topic Tiger, but yes I agree, especially in China. So many new apartment buildings are being finished at around the same time, oversupply is giving renters more choice and lower rents. Why buy? You could lose a huge amount if the property bubble bursts. Unless you intend to live there your whole life, it doesn't make much sense to buy in China.
mixian market is saturated. Wheat noodles, less so.
Noodle King, I think HF does travel a lot.
I've been to Guizhou, it is quite pretty, but is also famously cloudy. Cloudy weather depresses me. Kunming's sunshine keeps me upbeat.
Wanting to put your life and many other's lives in danger so you can experience climbing a mountain and have the stories/bragging is such an entitled, douchebaggy thing to do IMO. You need:
a) quite a lot of disposable money
b) a sense of 'nothing bad can happen to me'
c) a disregard for your family
d) boredom with the comfort of modern life.
Due to modern history, white people are more likely than other races to have these things.
I don't see much reason to live in any other province unless:
1) you want to live in a mega city where the skyscrapers are full of offices (unlike in KM where the skyscrapers seem to be half empty)
2) you want a big spender lifestyle/ bigger salary
3) you have penchant for hot and humid (Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian) or freezing cold (Heilongjiang, Nei Monggu) climates.

a very pleasant park with a tall pagoda you can climb and take photos of the city if you wish. Roses in summer, blossom in spring, nice lawn to sit on, bbq areas.
Recently the food seems to be better. Decent steak at a decent price, decent pizza, some decent wine, and the music is more suitable these days (Rammenstein wasn't the right mood music for Cantina)!
Had lunch - grilled chicken on top of mashed cuttlefish and a salad. The chicken was tasty and well cooked, and there was plenty of meat/fish to fill up even a hungry person. The salad was overdressed and nothing special - I won't order one next time. The service is a decent imitation of what you might find in the west. A large menu of food and drink. A nice civilised place to go for food or drink, but some of the dishes (i.e. the steaks) are very pricey. You could easily spend 300rmb+ per person here. Equally, it is possible to have lunch for under 60rmb per person (as we did). Warning - the bottle of water on each table costs an eye watering 48rmb! Don't be a sucker by opening it!
Went for a spot of lunch. Best pizza I've had in Kunming by some distance. In fact, one of the best pizzas I've ever had - quality ingredients, thin base, cooked to perfection. Sashimi salmon tasted very fresh and was well presented. The drinks are expensive, and one of the waiters was letting the side down by being a bit scruffy and impolite (hence not 5 stars), but definitely go and try the pizza.
Not bad. Pizza base was a little thick for my taste. Great selection of craft beers in the fridge, a few beers on tap, and well priced mixed drinks and cocktails. Staff were pleasant. A 14" pizza is the perfect size for two people, and very reasonably priced at 45-70RMB. Beware that the English menu, whilst written in perfect English, is not necessarily accurate. I ordered the 'local one' pizza expecting pepperoni and mango but got neither. The waitress explained that was a mistake on the menu. Would be nice if the menu corresponded with what you get on the plate! Hopefully this will get sorted.
Fight for Charity Preview – Paul vs Tudou
发布者Blows to the head can cause concussion and head injuries are thought to raise the chances of dementia, parkinsons, alzeimers etc. Brain damage is permanent - I used to work with for a charity helping adults who had suffered brain injuries. Great cause and probably great entertainment, but I suggest that the money could be raised in a more ethical way.

Creek work halted on Dali's Erhai Lake
发布者'Environmentalists say that the key to making the water of Erhai Lake cleaner is to stop releasing polluted wastewater directly into it, rather than resorting to engineering solutions for rivers and destroying their ecological diversity and natural beauty in the process.' well yes... I would think that was obvious! Cement won't help, in fact it'll make it worse as plants can't grow on cement so you lose some filtration effect.
