@abcd.... said ' I'm not convinced that anyone can be "in touch with their Qi and know that it's perfectly balanced" just by taking herbs.'
Guys who talk like that are often on tabs, and not herbs ;-)
In answer to the OP's question.
TIC, trust no-one. TIK double that.
As for the rest, I claim the 5th.
Do a trial run. The worst that can happen is someone stops you. In other cities the metro has a wider than standard channel for wheelchairs.
@JJ used a phrase 'are you considered a "nice guy" or are you a bar rat'. I loved that one.
If a guy meets a girl and is mainly after fun, and he meets a girl who is only after greencard or greenbacks, they can both get what they want. But it does not mean that the relationship will be edifying.
Many western men want a lover first, and then see what develops. A lot of Chinese women are looking for a husband first. That is also a source of tension.
Even back home it can be hard to find a compatible partner. There are girls I would want to date, and girls I would run a mile from. Problem is, until you get Chinawise, you don't know which ones to run from.
My wife comes from a family of many generations of medical practitioners. TCM doctors, and pharmacists. She has a strong set of personal values, and is not materialistic. She quit a job in a 'dirty' industry to study overseas, which is where we met.
I had not 'targeted' asian women. We just met and hit it off. We then got to know each other before deciding on marriage.
We both have a lot in common, and I keep coming back to this, commonality is a key factor in any relationship. That is one reason why people back home tend to date and marry into the same social class. We had both been married before. Our ages are similar, we were both studying the same subject (MBA as a second post-grad degree), as mature students, at different universities. We were both at a similar professional level, although in different industries. We share common values, about people, and money. We both want similar things out of life and for our future. We are friends first and lovers second.
No relationship is perfect, or easy. You have to work at them. But without any commonality, there is less to work with, and perhaps the differences can be harder to overcome.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
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.
Welcome to the new GoKunming!
发布者Great changes.
Thanks to the GoK team, all.
Yunnan reopens 13 international border crossings
发布者Ah! but what do they mean by "non-residents of Yunnan"? This sounds like Chinese nationals not resident in Yunnan. Which would allow non-locals to cross these borders.
This would not include foreigners.
As for the number, 13 re-open, when some were not closed. That is typical of the way things often get reported in some parts of the world. Like the list of 700 universities was published and China had x number in the 'TOP 700 world ranked universities'.
Kunming to monetize street vendor chaos
发布者Yes, I think Alex has a point. In Hangzhou (and other cities I have visited) it is organised. The vendors have a table and the tables are in clearly defined rows (some streets 4 rows, wider parts 6 rows). The pedestrians can navigate through the night markets.
The big advantage of tables is that you don't get the sprawl across the pavement, and there are clear walkthroughs. The other thing is that there are no people selling out of the trunk of the car, this alone takes up a lot of room.
Outside Sal's a few months back there was a problem, because there was no way to get onto the sidewalk to park a bike. Putting aside the rights and wrongs of who did what, it was the over abundance of street vendors that was the root cause.
Kunming to monetize street vendor chaos
发布者And all to be 'policed', and ID checks by chengguan.
Now there is a money making opportunity if ever there was one.
Rumors swirl as Shanghai football club eyes Kunming
发布者For the people who run clubs in S.America and Europe it is all about the love of the 'beautiful game'. Somehow I think in Asia it is all about the love of filthy lucre.
