Forums > Living in Kunming > Response to "gaoxing" I don't know why i'm wasting my time on this...
first of all, i wouldn't consider myself a Salvador's 'regular'. i do however like the place and go there quite often. maybe there's another place with the same name because the people there seemed decent enough to me.
Gaoxing, you're an idiot. what were you thinking when you started posting abusive threads? what did you hope to gain? you're classified in dating was nothing short of ridiculous whatever your social issues may be. so now you're leaving to find easier women? good luck to you. good riddance! ...you won't be missed so just leave quietly and stop wasting your precious time.
Forums > Living in Kunming > tired of repeat ads offering cheap electronic goods i've seen a lot of ads(spam) in the classifieds section recently offering lists of cameras/phones/computer stuff at low prices. if you reply they'll usually ask you to use cash transfer or another unsafe payment method. this certainly looks like a scam but has anyone been brave (stupid) enough to send money? it just annoys me that they're so persistent.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Richland Hospital things can go wrong when you go into hospital in any country. hospitals don't always handle these situations well. look at the NHS for example... removing the wrong kidney, harvesting organs without consent etc. looking at the choices available, i still feel that i made the right choice in going to Richland. maybe with this new 'western clinic' open standards will improve.

Sacred mountains, ponies and an obscure Tibetan festival in Yunnan
发布者Thank you GoKM. I (almost) always enjoy the travel type articles. Even though it's not the first time Nizu (or Niru) has been featured on this website, at least you've brought it to the attention of travellers before the coach loads of litter-dropping tourists arive or before it's swallowed and 'improved' by the national park. Funny (NOT), that was the fate predicted in this 2015 article:

Yunnan Baiyao sued for false advertising involving toothpaste
发布者Interesting story... thanks GoKunming. Possibly of more interest is the fate of the original inventor... a member of a Yunnan minority.
Several provinces under suspicion of "faking" environmental protection data
发布者Many government workers in (parts of) Yunnan have had their weekends 'cancelled' until mid-December in an effort to deal with this mess.
Accidentally celebrating the end of Buddhist Lent in Laos
发布者Thanks Sean. A really interesting read - more relatable and less of a corporate sheen. Some lovely pictures in there too. We could all use a break from our phones sometimes but the 'always on' Wechat is quickly becoming a fact of everyday life in China, epecially for those in work. This was another little reminder that life is beautiful.
