Forums > Living in Kunming > GoKM Saying and Doing I remember I was watching the movie Marco Polo a while back. The Great Khan was contemplating an attack on Japan and a Japanese spy told him that although the Japanese were always fighting each other that they will join together if China attacked. Needless to say his advice was not heeded and the Khan lost the fight from the start and the Japanese were victorious.
In the same way, I recall many battles among the members of this forum, but it seems very clear that when an outsider comes into this community and PRETENDS to act like a member he/she/they will be quickly dealt with.
As has been mentioned here earlier by others, it is not the disagreements or fights that bother me - it is the gatekeeping and desire for censorship that really gets under my skin.
I cherish my GK account and I admit I have taken things too far on more than a few occassions.
A few months ago I received a PM from the GK staff with a very direct warning. I was thankful for the warning because I would not have given a warning if I was running the show so I appreciate their patience and understanding.
I admit that I enjoy the entertainment portion of this forum but I also learn a lot from other members here. I do not want to lose my account and after 6 years of having the SAME account I do not want to risk losing it at this late stage of the game.
The other members of this forum are NOT crazy or imagininig things. There are SOME people who continually keep coming back with new accounts. Although their account is brand new they speak on certain topics with exclusive knowledge and history but they pretend to be new.
For the REAL new members, I apologize on behalf of others if you were erroneously called MATT or MATT-like. Please understand that we have been members of this forum for more than a few years and we do not like those people coming here to play GAMES with US - our community.
I am happily married to a beautiful, sexy woman (Who I do NOT beat or abuse) and I love my life here in China. I dont need a NEWBIE to tell me not to complain or report taxis because those newbies have not lived in China nor Kunming for 12 years like I have or even longer for a few other members have.
Keep in mind, this is the internet, it is all make believe, it is not real. If you do not beleive me then just turn off the computer and it will all go away. My wife, my family, my freinds, the people around me are real, not this forum. Come here to learn, to get info, or to be entertained - thats all.
Good luck to all - old and new members - play nice!

发布者Not only are they happier, but since they dont get vaccines they are healthier than city kids and since they dont have much money, they are healthier because they don't eat the garbage that city kids eat.

A quick guide to Kunming's Metro Line 2
发布者To get to the Train station subway entrance you have to walk completely around the building. You can walk around on either side of the building but it is about a 10-15 walk. It is not very convenient. Also, because of the beefed up security, all the back doors of the train station are locked so you can not walk through the train station.
At this time, the station on Huan Chen Nan Lu is a bit more convenient.

发布者I think having a child in this day and age is insane. To put a child in school now is inhumane and borders on child abuse. Kids are in school all day, followed by evening classes such as english or piano or some other ridiculous thing, then homework till all hours of the night. Pressure from all directions and no time to be a kid. I would hate to be a kid now - anywhere!
China suspends Vietnam tours as regional tensions mount
发布者My wife and I were in Vietnam for 25 days during this past CNY. We saw many chinese tourist especially in Hoi An. I am sure the travel industry is not happy with all those refunds. I hope this problem gets resolved quickly.
