Also, you can buy fresh soy milk every morning from many of the breakfast street vendors. Especially those who sell you tiao, the long fried bread sticks. Some sell it sealed in the big drink cups.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Where to buy Christmas lights or rope lights in Kunming?

Rope lights to be found in the lighting areas of the major decoration markets, and in B&Q. Decoration markets at DaShangHui (off Guangfulu), at YunFang (Area adjacent/behind Carrefour on SouthRing Road (Huanchengnanlu) and Haigeng Lu), and there are several others in the city. All of these markets will have several traders who sell rope lights.

Xmas lights and all the Xmas paraphernalia will magically appear in at all the big supermarkets and Metro will have a grand selection a little later in the year.

Basically the soy milk cookers are a blender in a tall boiling vessel. The biggest brand is Joyoung. You do get what you pay for, the more expesive ones are faster, and also much easier to clean (ours only needs to be rinsed thoroughly, but do it while it is hot before the stuff dries on).

You can put in the beans and water (we use drinking water not tap), put it on the dry bean setting and it takes 20mins. Or you can soak beans overnight. The only bugbear is that you need to strain the cooked liquid to take out the remaining solids. You need to push it through the strainer really.

Advantages, fresh and you can also mix beans. My wife like a 60/40 soybean/peanut mix.

Tip, most people throw away the dou zha. It makes a really tasty dip or side dish.

INGREDIENTS
Dou zha
Garlic
Sesame oil
Salt
Green onion (optional)

Take some garlic, and fry in a little sesame oil until soft. Add the dou zha and heat through, you can also add a little water to thin it if desired. Add finely chopped green onion, and salt to taste.

@Yankee
The 'buffy' dog you describe sound like a rottweiler. The problem with rotties is that there are two main bloodlines. In UK they have been bred as house dogs, and some are the biggest softest pussies you could meet. However, in Germany they have been bred as working (guard) dogs and have the temperament to match, and are not suitable as pets. I am not sure which bloodline is in China, hopefully the soft one.

The most common cause of dogfights is when one dog is on the leash, and the others are not. The dog on the leash cannot move freely and if it feels vulnerable it will become defensive (aggressive) and then the fight starts. If the same dog were off the leash it would be happily running around sniffing butts with the other dogs. Sadly it is the dog with the responsible owner that is percieved as the problem.

BUT thank God, chinese TV is now showing the Dog Whisperer www.cesarsway.com/channel/dog-whisperer-tv

As for going after the lower level guys.
The fat cats were milking other fat cats.
It is all the little lower level guys that make life difficult for the guy on the street, and expensive for those on low incomes.
It would be nice to think of an egalitarian round up (tigers as well as flies), but most people are plagues by flies, and are unaffected by tigers.

There are a lot of restaurants in our area. It used to be that there was congestion caused by cars parked at the side of the road. This was most nights of the week. Some places had exotic dishes and high prices.
Now the roads are clear except for festivals, and prices even a middle income family can afford.
You can draw your own conclussions.

Talking of construction. One solution is to build a new town from the ground up the adequate infrastructure. This was done in Dali and oops, Chenggong. Shanghai has also built a number of satellite cities/towns.

The accumulated debris is a problem and not all of it is trash, a lot of it is leaves, twigs, and dust/dirt. Often this can not be effectively dealt with until it accumulate. You can have teams going around clearing culverts and grids, but not every bit of debri that could potentially reach the culvert.
This is a universal problem.

There is the same problem in Shanghai and Beijing, the drains are not up to coping with the heavy rains, even though they come yearly.

Urban planning is often about sprawl, without the effort to upgrade the old infrastructure. The norm is to jus connect the new drains to the old. The new drains may even have sufficient capacity, but there is a bottle neck as water reaches the old drains. Until there is the political will to dig up and replace the drains in the older parts of the city (costly and very disruptive to local residents, traffic, and business) we will continue to see occastional flooding. It used to the be same in many towns in the west.

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.
