Be careful you don't start a competition. Quality will suffer. I write enough drivel as it is.

I do spend too much time on here.

There are a couple of High School programmes in Kunming, for US and UK exams.
One of them is recruiting now. Check the jobs again here. I think it was ACT or GED or both.

First thing I would like to point out is that Univesities and Colleges are not as synonymous here in China, as they are back home.

Generally, universities are for students who passed the university entrance exam (GaoKao), a national test. Colleges are places of learning for those who fail the GaoKao. The level of ability and motivation is different. As are the regulations and style of management.

Most unis recruit in April for the following Autumn.
Some may be recruiting now for February, but this is usually only after a teacher leaves mid-contract. This is unusual, but does happen.

The best thing to do is contact the university direct, via the Foreign Affairs Office, or the Language faculty (if they have one).

Colleges are similar with regards to recruitment schedules. Vacancies may come up more often as staff retention may not be as high as at a uni. Colleges often do not have a foreign affairs office. Colleges may come under the banner of a university, but it is a lose partnership. The rules governing the uni do not apply to the college.

Almost all homes in southern and eastern china have solar water heating now. But not photovoltaic cells yet.
Many new roads in Kunming have the streetlights with wind and solar charging. however the environmental impact of replacing old serviceable units (that have already left a footprint making them) with new (including their own footprint) is a tough call.
One of the reasons why China is leading in green energy is that there is so much new infrastructure to be put in place. Unlike the US and EU that have a huge legacy system that would be very expensive to phase out and replace.

A western version of a Li Bai poem can be found on the Vangelis Album 'China' and follows.

"I take a bottle of wine and I go drink it among the flowers.
We are always three ... counting my shadow and my friend the shimmering moon
Happily the moon knows nothing of drinking, and my shadow is never thirsty
When I sing, the moon listens to me in silence. When I dance, my shadow dances too.
After all festivities the guests must depart. This sadness I do not know.
When I go home, the moon goes with me and my shadow follows me"

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.
