I did see an ice-cream maker in Metro, in the catering equipment section. Can't remember the price.
Afraid that if I made my own icecream I would get too fat.
My favourite flavour of all time was pistachio nut fudge.
Other classics, Rum 'n Raisin flavour.
But it is hard to beat a good vanilla.
At a push we use C Trip to find the names of hotels. Then we call the hotels directly and ask for a discount, the C trip price will give you an anchor price. About 50% of the time we can get cheaper. However the big international chains tend not to give a discount for private bookings.
After you have found the name of the hotel on Ctrip, you will need to go trawling the internet or call directory enquiries to find the phone number (this will be in Chinese). Hotel reception often cannot give a discount, ask to speak to the sales office as this is a multiple booking.
telegraph.co.uk (unless you subscribe and pay you can only access 12 full articles per month, however the main pages are unlimited access) seems to have wider coverage of stories from China.
For BBC it might help to use a non Google browser and search engine. The big G seems to get targeted more by the big C.
You will not get a bike in good condition for that money. There is a huge market in stolen bikes in Kunming, but for 200 you are not going to get anything good.
2nd hand-stolen bikes seem to go for about 30-50% of new cost.
The only descent supplier of 2nd hand bikes is on here a lot and usually charges 60-80% of new cost, but most of these bikes are almost new, and he seems to have a legit supply.
Yes, Chinese sizes. But even Chinese fat guys have skinny legs, and no hips. Even pants that fit in the leg are tight in the crotch. Make sure you try stuff on before you buy. Taking it home and trying to change stuff later may not be easy.
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.

I guess that is what you call Buddhism with a Chinese face.

发布者Blobbles, if there are not trees, you may be able to make out farmers routes on Google Earth. You can sometimes.
If you have personal GPS you could also check progress by pre-defining lat-long from Google Earth before you leave home and write them on a print out.
Just an idea.
