Forums > Food & Drink > Dai Minority Cuisine mm, you have seen me bust your chops here many times and I do apologize for that. I understand your zeal. In many ways you are not different from me. I like travel very much and you enjoy food. I am sure you have seen me post many things about travel, places and lists of scenic spots. But I am just presneting info, I am not requesting opinions or feedback.
You are not doing anything wrong in your posts. You are not attacking others and you are being genuine and civil.
However, it is the manner in which you look for, solicit, and seek opinions or information from others that gets you into trouble.
I hope this helps you because I have really seen you chnage since you began writing here before. I recommend you present info about food but do not solicit opinions any more because this is where the nasty business begins. Good luck!
Forums > Food & Drink > The Spicy Food Thread xb - have you seen me direct any posts to you? Absolutely not! I have no idea why you are directing posts to me an I have no idea what you are trying to say here. What 120 yuan/hour? Obviously you have lost your mind. Do I know you? Did I offend you in a previous lifetime? Or are you just sensitive and easily offended by comments made by strangers?
Forums > Living in Kunming > Learning Chinese with a private tutor Yes, I heard they pay anywhere from 20-30/hour. Some older and more experienced teachers get 50/hour.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Learning Chinese with a private tutor Does anyone know how much a teacher is paid to teach chinese at any of the advertised schools? I am not asking how much is the tuition. How much is the chinese teacher paid to teach.
Yunnan's largest hydroelectric dam goes online
发布者Does anyone have specific directions on how to visit this dam? Where exactly is it? I see a lookout point in the picture so I assume visitors can come.
Deputy mayor answers 12345 hotline
发布者I am glad to see more people get involved in their community and use this hotline. I was surprised to read that they receive 2000 calls each day.
I prefer to use the internet site - where I can receive a reply.

Video: Unseen Stone Forest
发布者The video is very informative but does NOT specifically tell you where these locations are located. The entrance ticket to SHI LIN (Stone Forest) is 175 Yuan. I prefer to buy an annual ticket for 200 Yuan and I can use it at any time during the year. Bring your passport and you can purchase an annual ticket which includes entrance to the MAJOR stone Forest, MINOR stone Forest, BU SHAO SHAN, LI ZI YUAN QING, WAN NIAN LING ZHI, and NAIGU stone Forest (Black Stone Forest).
Most of the footage on the video is of the Black Stone Forest. Few people know about it so each time I go, there are very few visitors, less than 5 people. This location has been completely renovated but it lacks many basics. However, There is NOWHERE to purchase any food or water anywhere in the entire park.
Another location seen in the Video is DA DIE SHUI Waterfall. This USED TO BE included in the price of the entrance ticket more than 1 year ago but it no longer is considered part of the Stone Forest. Presently, the waterfall scenic area is under renovation. The Waterfall is located more then 30 km away from the main park. 2 years ago, you can purchase tickets for the waterfall ONLY for 18 Yuan but I have no idea what the price will be after the renovation is complete.

Kunming's Red alley: Jiexiao Xiang
发布者I ASSUME that the writers and staff of GOKUNMING write these articles in an effort to inform the reader of an event or location of some significance in and around Kunming.
I find many of these articles lacking in vital information. In an attempt to be CREATIVE, the writers fail in being INFORMATIVE.
For example, the writers mentions Jiexiao Xiang many, many times but fails to tell the reader where this place is. Is it somewhere in Yunnan? Is it in Kunming? There are 5 districts in Kunming - is it in Pan long District? Or is it in one of the other 4 districts? Is there a major crossroad where this small alley can be found. Perhaps near Beijing Road or Guangfu Road.
I enjoy travelling and seeing new places and I research many of the places I visit. But I really would like to read an article here and NOT be left with MORE questions than when I started.
I ask the staff of GOKunming to please be more specific when writing about places to visit and give SPECIFIC directions such as name of town or village and county and prefecture when writing. Thank you.
