Your assessment may be correct, lemon.

The crisis involving Rohingya refugees have dominated so much of the news headlines, many may have overlooked the plight of other ethnicity groups entrenched in Myanmar's Kachin conflicts resulting in tens of thousands of Burmese asylum seeking refugees to traverse into Yunnan in years past. If the case, the influx of Kachin refugees in Yunnan may have been included in the 2020 census, notwithstanding their obscure, legal status.

Perhaps a pack of hungry tigers would prefer to devour it raw as the main feast, lol. Moreover, raw pork may not sit well with Chinese families given recent scare of African swine fever outbreak.

Shouldn't elevation & pressure variables be plugged into that equation? Our 1,900m above sea level ought to increase temp or lengthen the cooking time a bit, no?

Nope, no thermometer in stock at Carrefour nor Muji.

The cheaper "Carrefour Home" utensil brand is giving Fackelmann run for their money.

Good luck with that x'mas ham! Remember, imperfect family TLC time is more valuable than perfect tenderness of ham.

Carrefour has a bunch of Fackelmann kitchen utensils.

Last minute reminder... this morning 10am at Carrefour and Muji is the last day of 60 minus 30rmb via Unionpay using SamsungPay, ApplePay, HuaweiPay, MiPay, and/or MeizuPay.

I'll be going to battle with antsy shoppers in two hours. I'll keep an eye out for meat thermometers.

Incredible share @Peter! Almost 1,000 posts. Hope you reach it.

You seem to be right that most article features on 19th and early 20th century Auguste Francois are photographs, not video. The b&w motion really brings a bygone era back to life.

Because Vimeo is blocked in China, I took the liberty of downloading and then uploading the video to WeTransfer for all w/o VPN to enjoy (automatic deletion in 7 days):

This the inevitable path of modern China of 69 years young. From farming & low-cost manufacturing to cutting edge A.I., stem cell, quantum computing, and space race research.

In contrast, here's an aerial view of current Dongfeng Square taken just a few weeks ago:

Here's another zoomed out view from three months ago, when digging was less extensive:

The excavation process for this 407 meter "Eye of Mordor" look-alike is mind-boggling. For those who've visited Taipei 101's outdoor observation deck, it's height is only 390 meters. The long spire (antennae) on top is misleading.

Many more in-depth pictures of what was once our Dongfeng Square is continuously updated by user "oscillation" if you're interested:

Fond memories of Dongfeng Square and the Worker's Cultural Palace, as seen in the above picture. When I first arrived here, it was a delight to see so many strangers holding hands dancing in a big circle there. It was new to me.

This now empty lot will become the tallest skyscraper in Kunming with 100 floors (407 meters), That's nearly one third higher than our current tallest Wanda finance buildings (317 meters).

The two new towers will be called Eye of Spring Trade Center (aka Dongfeng Plaza) upon completion in 2 or 3 years.

Across from Dongfeng Plaza, behind Gingko Department Store where Kunming Municipal People's Government was previously situated, Spring City 66 tower is already visible in the skyline...

A shabby 63-storey (349 meters) skyscraper in comparison, but already taller than Kunming's reigning champion Wanda twin towers. The massive shopping center mall below will house over 300 international brands next year. KRT subway 1, 2, 3, & 6 will connect below it. Wow, location x 3!

Cycling from Kunming to Singapore, that's quite a ride!

May I inquire about their journey? Did they make it to Singapore? Still had 850km to go. I'm having difficulties accessing Jesse's blog.
