Forums > Living in Kunming > earplugs in Kunming

They had them in B&Q a couple of months ago.
Take a picture of them from internet, and show it to the guys in the tool section. They are near, but not in the tool section. Sort of in the cross aisle outside the back end of the tool section last time. Maybe take a picture of the earmuff type as well, as they are next to each other.

If it is for protecting your sanity, insulating yourself from the madness, then I found the noise reducing in-ear headphones helped a lot. Noise cancelling would be even better, but more expensive. Heavy metal makes sense of it all, and I also use white/pink/brown noise. This is noise of MY choice, and not the alien noise that abounds.

Shanghai has made crossing intersections on parts of Huai Hai Lu safe. They have lights that have an all way stop for traffic, like they do in Japan. No cars move, and pedestrians can go in any direction, including diagonally.

When the lights are green for traffic, pedestrians cannot go. Pedestrians generally obey. The only time the traffic helpers are out, is rush hours.

They started fining jaywalkers in Shanghai years ago. There is very little jaywalking there now. It was however supported by a lot of media coverage.
It is not fair to blame it all on parked cars. I have been driving down a six lane urban highway, line of trees, with a wide cycle track, another line of trees and a wide separate sidewalk. Then you get to avoid the families walking four abreast on the highway.
Why? My guess is that they have no notion of the danger they are in. Do they teach road safety in China, or just Math, etc.? [rhet]

You probably couldn't get a mandate to redevelop an area and build an underground shopping mall. Especially if it causes major disruption.

There is an existing mandate to build bomb shelters, and there are added benefits to both the infrastructure and opportunities for business that can be captured too :-)

My university and tertiary students only had lectures between 8am and noon, Many didn't even turn up for lectures, but would turn up for exams. There is an old joke in China, that university is hard to get in (Gaokao), but easy to get out (very hard to fail). I was told by my Dean, in one provincial level uni., that if SS failed and exam they would resit up to twice and would be given an automatic pass after the second resit.

At a tertiary college in Kunming, I had about 30 regular SS out of 60 on the register, but 110 turned in exam papers. Half of them scored less than 30% (and I had pretty much told them the answers and where to find them (in the PPTs I gave them). Lo and behold, I was told by management that the SS all had to pass, including the guy who got 9%.

The problems of students staying in the dormitories, not working and playing computer games has been in the Chinese news several times in recent years. Unless the authorities have got a grip of this recently, I doubt it will have changed.

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.
