In the markets now, Kumquats-金橘 (Jīn jú) (gold orange).
These are the tiny oranges about 2cm diameter. No need to peel, just wash and eat. Also good for making jam, for those who can do that.
A good source of vitamin C and bioflavonoids. According to TCM, good for stimulating appetite and aiding digestion. Also good for the vascular system, cutting cholesterol and reducing blood pressure.
The season for fresh kumquats is quite short, but they are very cheap (10rmb/Kg). This is followed by a period of kumquats preserved in sugar, but these are much more expensive.

Mugabe had been there too long, and some of his later policies had hurt the economy, and the people. Hopefully the transition to new leadership will remain peaceful, things will settle down quickly to the new status quo, and the economy will get back on track towards growth and prosperity for the people of Zimbabwe. Hopefully.

Pre-school at 6 years old? Did you mean primary school? I think the question has been asked before and there was no definitive answers about

any program that would suit young foreign children in Kunming.

As suggested, one option is IF you can find a local primary school that will take you child; it would be a private school. The other option would be home schooling.

I think the government attempted to control the use of disposable chopsticks. However, with the perceived very high rates of hepatitis in China, this was a non starter. Although you cannot catch HepB from tableware, the general perception in China is that you can. Perceptions overrule facts most of the time, for most people, in every part of the world.

I heard a story about Dinosaur valley, which may or may not be true. The fancy building you see from the highway is not the actual site, but the efforts of a bunch of entrepreneurial locals who wanted to cash in on the nearby site. It is not connected in any way with the archaeological site.

This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
