I will continue to observe gokunming's weather forecast (forwarded from wherever) and know that it sometimes will get or has got cold somewhere in Time. Fortunately, this is Kunming, I no longer have to live according to a schedule (Salvador's closes at 11PM, I remember that), and so it's all rarely much of an issue...
So it was originally forecast to be 4C at 4AM this morning, whether that happened or not; or it's forecast to go down to 4C before midnight tonight; or before sunrise tomorrow? If it's the first, it doesn't really help anybody now, does it? If it's the second, then I guess I better carry my down jacket; if the third, I'll perhaps just come home early.
Curious about gokunming's weather forecasts - right now I read "11AM, 11C", plus humidity etc. All right, but the other numbers for temperature are 15C and 4C - do these represent previous temperatures between midnight and 11AM (i.e. that it went down to 4C this morning, after midnight last night), or predictions (i.e., that it will go up to 15C between now and midnight tonight and down to 4C before midnight tonight? I'm always confused, because the coldest hour is usually around 4AM.
Now THAT is a great idea for a long trip - congratulations!
My understanding is that Xiong Brothers bike shop is a good place, but I'm not really the one to ask.
Note that the article seems to indicate that anti-illegal-drug efforts are most concerned with transportation, production & use of amphetamines and heroin. I've heard little about anti-marijuana efforts, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
@Geogramatt: Another possibility might be to ask the people concerned, who have this poverty problem now, about what they think might be usefully done, rather than make them wait 25 years, but that would involve a level of transparency and consultation that I rather doubt would be permitted, since the officials concerned are no doubt quite sure that they know better. It would also probably require an admission that the villages, properly speaking, belong to the inhabitants.
As for the generation passing peacefully: might be difficult after all the young people leave.
I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.
