Forums > Living in Kunming > Thai Military Coup This is OLD news - As old as the repetitive food threads on GK.
The coup follows months of political turmoil in Thailand.
The army has staged at least 11 coups since the end of the absolute monarchy in 1932.
The latest unrest began in the Thai capital late last year, when then-Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra dissolved the lower house of parliament.
Thailand has faced a power struggle since Ms Yingluck's brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, was ousted by the military as prime minister in 2006.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Thai Military Coup I was just reading about this as I was eating a big bowl of greasy noodles with 3 different kinds of red peppers.
Forums > Food & Drink > The Spicy Food Thread Really, I did not know that. Thanks, I am going to run out and stuff myself with red peppers so I can look exactly like the repulsive people I just described.
Forums > Food & Drink > The Spicy Food Thread People who eat spicy food complain about upset stomach, blisters in their mouth, or acne from eating too much spicy. They remind me of alcoholics who swear they will not drink again after a bad hangover. 2 days later, they are at it again shoveling the nasty red concoction back into their ruminating receptacles.

Urban managers throw block party, no one attends
发布者The article is a joke but the cheng guan problem is real.
There is a place near my house where they store all the trikes and vending carts that the CG confiscate from the poor people just trying to make an honest living.

发布者"You see that cart they're eating apples from?" he replied, gesturing toward the officers. "That used to be mine."
Have another party - bring a booth and put the chenguan inside - charge 5 yuan per person to throw rubber bricks at them - they can raise millions in a few hours.
Chinese college freshmen increasingly unfit
发布者Although some kids are not slim as they used to be - some middle school kids are tall and big now because of all those hormone grown meats - The majority still remain relatively slim.
However, they are very weak and out of shape because they sit in school all day and at home also doing homework.
They barely can do a few pushups, can not even do a pul-up - like private Pyle, and they get tired after walking short distances.
