Forums > Living in Kunming > Civilized Kunming A friend of a friend runs a family operated shao kao stand at night... they rake in 30K a month! Yeah, no kidding.
I've found breakfast stands to be quite convenient in the early mornings. Now they've completely vanished in visible traffic areas. They'll find their way back soon enough once Kunming earns the coveted "civilized" badge.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Civilized Kunming Ahead of Beijing inspections this month, the red bicycle dock stations installed everywhere in inner city these past few weeks, feels like smokescreen attempt by local/provincial officials to show central accounting what they've done with their allocated budgets all these years, which in reality were probably back pocketed and not put to use for the good denizens of Spring City. Maybe i'm just being overly cynical.

Chinese diplomat proposes bullet train to India
发布者Given the rock throwing spat over the Chinese and Indian border, I'm glad this BCIM project supersedes all lingering land disputes.
Both countries have their eyes on of the bigger prize: Xi's Khan-like Belt and Road Initiative, and India's golden opportunity to link up from Myanmar's Mandalay all the way down to Singapore, a sought after destination for Indian migrant working class. Politics connecting new roads.
Granted Malaysian's newly elected prime minister Mahathir Mohamad may create potential roadblocks for the Malaysia-Singapore railway section. Perhaps all the massive Chinese residential projects in Johor Baru are rubbing the locals the wrong way.

Yunnan's native son, Jin Feibao, completes 100 marathons in 100 days
发布者Piggyback off this topic, Kenyan long-distance runner Eliud Kipchoge just broke the world record by over a minute (plus 20 seconds) in the Berlin Marathon. An amazing feat of two hours one minute and 39 seconds. Records are made to be broken, but I have a feeling this one will remain for some time.
