Forums > Travel Yunnan > Where s Dwarf empire Let's be clear. In those cases such prejudice was institutionalized by the state. Yes, a person with the genetic condition of dwarfism is going to have a difficult life in China, but it is not written into law like slavery, apartheid, jim crow, or laws that barred women from voting. No where in Chinese law are dwarfs not equal citizens or have less rights. Invoking slavery is melodramatic. They are not bought and sold like property nor are their offspring considered property. That's slavery.
Forums > Food & Drink > Restaurant grading system Ahh, I remember that KFC yankee00 said had an A. They served me a raw chicken nugget. Crispy outside, but nice and pink inside. Maybe this was before they got the A, because I was too busy throwing up in their sink to notice what ranking was on their sign at the time.
Forums > Travel Yunnan > Where s Dwarf empire Agreed, they should close them down immediately and send those dwarfs back into the Chinese labor force where their talents can be fully appreciated. Though the pimp that begs them out probably won't provide free room and board like the Empire.

Kunming Fair again sets records
发布者This is becoming a major draw for locals, nearing the crowds of the auto fair. Traffic around the area was a nightmare though. Also, this fair was open to public (ticket 30rmb).

That is if you are lucky and the guard station is off eating lunch or break. Or you can show up at night. Last time I went through on the east entrance, the guards chased me down in a minivan and demanded I pay the 50rmb (now 65) entrance ticket, even though I was just planning on passing through.
No guards care if you are leaving TGL at either entrance, but if you weren't checked entering, then that's good luck.

发布者Yet another 15rmb increase. Though Tiger Leaping is one of the fees I think is well worth it.
The scenery on the East Ring that Geogramatt mentioned is wonderful. You'll need raingear cause your riding with the clouds at one point. Bit spartan on services, so bring some energy bars and extra bottle of water. If your in good shape, you can make the halfway point of 白水台 in a day by bike.
