Freedom of choice. Hmm. I choose not to go swimming in my local pool because people pee in it. That does not mean the current situation is laudable.
I think there is a parallel here on GoKunming. And people have exercised their choice not to swim here any more. An excellent example of freedom of choice at work. Not something to be proud of IMHO.
If you know the decoration market on Changhong Lu. As you drive SW down Changhong Lu, opposite the market, i think it is at the most west end, at the intersection with Dongju Lu. On the right hand side of Changhong Lu is a building with CNC in huge letters on a huge roof hoarding. I think, but don't know for sure, that they do CNC cutting. I have been meaning to go in and check.
I also wouldn't know if they do CAM, but it may be worth a shot.
I think that many of these illegal golf courses are attached to real estate developments. It makes the real estate more saleable. There is usually one free membership per household. It is a value plus type of marketing. Dianchi Wei Chen properties used to come with a membership of the golf club. However, from what I have been told, most households sold the membership on.
Water is the biggest issue. I think I read somewhere that upto 10% of Beijing's fresh water supply was being used on golf courses, and this was a major driver for the outlawing of them (no pun intended).
BTW all the maps sheets I have seen online for China are scans of papers sheets. Many are low quality scans and hard to read, all are out of date. Old town Dali, Lijiang, and Shangrila have not changed. But all of these places have new cities or districts that were not there in the past.
Kunming has changed a lot in 6 years, many old districts do not exist, there are new roads and a subway system. This is why frequently updated maps like Google and Baidu are so important. And one impact of these maps, is that few new hard copy maps are produced in China.
Yes you can print Google maps. But you will need to print them before you come to China, unless you have a vpn and can access them where they can printed.
Alternatively you can print them to an image file on your computer and save them. That way you can print the image file whilst in China.
You can also use map.baidu.com, the maps will be in Chinese characters, but at least you can print a map with a street layout. Then use the road name signs for comparison.
Some of this behaviour is due to a lack of 'mindfulness'. If people had to leave a security deposit at the Entrance/Exit Bureau, that they would lose if they are reported for bad behaviour, then they would be more mindful.
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.
