I remember now why I was reluctant to post in this thread.

You think that Asian medical practitioners' patients don't die needlesly? Through misdiagnosis, negligence, failing to have an effective treatment, lack of knowledge, lack of supervision/regulation?
I think there is a place for TCM and Western treatments and meds, but I do put faith in the scientific method. Otherwise I may as well put my faith in Jesus, and not see any doctors at all (as they are the Devil trying to confuse us and water down our faith in the Lord) as many people do.
Most western medicines have had clinical trials, the more recent trials have used control groups. The contraindications are well documented, and information on this is freely available to all.
The scientific method has been used to asses the drugs, there are fewer assumptions. This has huge relevance to claims of efficacy.
All medicine (W&E) in China is a bit of a racket. You do not need a licence to set up a medical practice in China, unless you want to prescribe drugs, you can offer alternative treatments. One thing a TCM doctor will never do, tell you you don't need medicine. Unless you have Michael Jackson's Dr. most western doctors will refuse to prescribe if there is no need for medicine.
You could be right on about the fire Colin. The visibility of XiShan is down at Haigeng park right now. And there IS a smell of woodsmoke in the air.
Try your local notary public first. They may be able to accommodate you. Is he even allowed to translate something he cannot 100% read? TIC, you can only ask. He/she has probably dealt with poor form filling before.
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.
Kunming's metro could cost 300 billion yuan
发布者If they worry about cost, and only provide minimum service until things pay for themselves, then they will always be in a debt cycle. For example, if the service only runs the cheapest (minimal) service from 9-5 people cannot possibly use it for work. They screw themselves.
There is a real need to bite the bullet. Then the best returns can be realised, only if they take the risk and run the service as a viable alternative to driving. Short term loss will be high, but utilisation will follow very quickly.
There is a need to follow the models of service provision in Shanghai and Beijing, but accept that the break even point in Kunming will take longer to realise. However, if you don't, the losses will continue for many years.
Kunming to offer visa-free transit stays
发布者Not sure, but would that be transiting? I think transit ticket is for an onward journey to a third country.
Perhaps you could fly from somewhere, via Kunming, to HK or vice vesa.
Airport temper tantrum lands Yunnan official in prison
发布者That last statement contradicts itself.
Kunming to offer visa-free transit stays
发布者Shanghai and Beijing are also major business hubs and doing a few days extra business, while breaking a long haul trek, makes sense. Also, both cities are tourist centres in themselves.
Kunming is neither. Kunming wants to be a trade centre with ASEAN, but that is not yet happening. Kunming is not really a destination, more of a spring board to Yunnan (which you cannot do in 3 days). All you can really do is play golf, which some people do.
Airport temper tantrum lands Yunnan official in prison
发布者I think the crime was getting caught, and so publically. Getting caught on camera and having it go viral is an embarrassment to gov. This is not good for social order.
There has also been a trend towards more unruly behaviour at airports, some of which have gone viral (like the Shandong woman in Guangzhou airport). This case in Kunming might be an exemplory/detterent sentencing.
Either way, it is a step in the right direction.
