Forums > Living in Kunming > Advice on allergies - please help! Urine Therapy does work and I use this treatment during allergy season. Urine is great for itchy, watery eyes. I was suffering from a long bout of itchy eyes for several days. I used several eye drops from the pharmacy and paid from 6-30 Yuan for each bottle. I finally used one of the empty bottles and filled it with urine and the itching went away in minutes. Just make sure you use fresh urine in your eyes. Empty the bottle after use and rinse well. Refill with fresh urine when you need to use it again.
Forums > Living in Kunming > New Foreigner Street Is this a street or just one specific building?
This is very close to Jin Ding Temple which is located on the corner of Xue Fu Road + Jin Ding Road (#11 Jin Ding Road).
Forums > Living in Kunming > Kunmings dirty most character filled alleys Most people love routine and walk the same way to and from their destination. When I was temple hunting a few years back I found many of these back alley locations as I was searching for a temple. Most of the temples are not big or well known and they are built and maintained by the small community they serve. Most are small island villages that are now surrounded by large built up areas but if you dont step off the main road you will never find them.
Go to Huan Cheng South Road (Big Road) then turn into Yun Xing Road (Small road) and then find Yong Ning Road (alley). This is a busy little community with many people coming out at night. They set up a market in the street and you can barely walk because it is so busy. You will notice a large area has been demolished. Looks like Hiroshima after the bombing. There you will find a single building still standing - Qing Feng An - When I was there before the destruction began I was able to photograph the small sign you see on the doors of the old houses - Lao Ya Ying Village - Fu Hai Xiang - I was here just 2 days ago and previously in March 2013. I was told the temple will also be destroyed soon but it still remains today. Although much of Lao Ya Village has been destroyed a lot of the remaining village still remains.
Another great place is right behind the Yunnan Arts College. Although a brand new gate has been made for the college on Ke Ye Road, the original main gate is actually in an alley. This alley leads to a village that is still very active and has street markets.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Water Rationing I live in Xi Shan District and Never had a problem with water rationing or loss of pressure. I dont understand why people continue to live where they have these problems. It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
Season's greetings from the Kunming PSB
发布者My wife called today to inquire and they do not care about safety at all. Their only concern is catching the illegal vendors who do not have a license to sell. Same goes for fireworks.
I called because the public area next to my house was littered with empty cans of this crap this morning, so we called to tell them that the store was selling this stuff. They only care about illegal street vendors - nothing more. Licensed store can seel as much as they want.

发布者This is a big LIE - anyone caught selling or using "counterfeit" spray snow products will be investigated for legal liability and possibly held criminally responsible. This is also true for other inflammable items — such as fireworks — deemed a danger to public order.
If the govt does not get paid, then they can not sell this. The sole purpose of this is to stop anyone who does not have a license. Key word - counterfeit.

发布者We just called 12319 - This is a useless notice - here is the key words - PSB has forbidden all unlicensed curbside peddlers from selling feixue (飞雪) products. So this crap can be sold in stores in any quantity and people can do whatever they want with it. This is an attack on the ppor - the poor people who are trying to make a buck selling this without a license.

发布者What holiday??? Christmas or Chinese New Year? Is PSB making this announcement to foreigners or to Chinese. I have seen many chinese children and a few chinese adults playing with the spray confetti but I yet to see one foreigner spraying this stuff.
Will the people who set up booths and sell fireworks also be - investigated for legal liability and possibly held criminally responsible. This is also true for other inflammable items — such as fireworks — deemed a danger to public order.
Can't wait to call 12345 when I see them.
