can we get the chinese name of the streets so we could locate them on google map? a mash-up showing the location of the explosions would be great...

I got a 6 month F multi entry inside china, but its still a pain, i must have lucked out, b/c everyone else i know has only got 2 or 3 months tops. I got it from a friend who owns a factory with fairly good guanxi, and i also have a late residency registration on my record when i was a student in Xiamen Uni.
So it is still possible. another person i know got only 3 month visa from the same method i did, and she has been living in china for over 6 years.

only found some general information in German on yahoo.de
de.news.yahoo.com/[...]

I heard about 3 explosions. Roads around western bus station blocked.

Out here on the west side of town where the second explosion occurred, the roads are still all cordoned off by the police. I could only get about 200 meters close to the site of the second explosion at Chang Yuan Lu. The authorities had already towed the damaged bus away by 11 a.m.

Chapter One Gin & Gin Party

Free bottle of gin if you get more drunk than Daneel (hospital attendance not mandatory but serious competitors should reserve beds)

The media should be exposing the foolishness and corruption of the officials that initiated this movement. Kunming is planting 800,000 trees while people in Sichuan are living in tents? They bring these trees from the place where they were living and purifying the air into the city where they die. It's not helpful to the environment.

Xiao Yi, we wish you much success with Si Jia, Qian Qian and Mei Qian. Their recovery is important and we are watching and praying for the best future these little precious ones can have!

I thought Hmong people in the early years were taller. These Hmong women either short or stocky, or could it be the camera angle?

Long Live the Hmong People!!!

i do not like this. they diged holes for trees, and then found they can not grow trees there. and then, fill the holes with soil again. but both cost lots of money. and we pay for that.

Hi Walter,

Actually, you're not the first one to ask me this... I preferred to show the approximate original location rather than the replica, which is built north of the original location.

Chris
