<content:encoded><![CDATA[I've been to many stores in Kunming looking for earplugs (not the kind you listen to music with, but the kind you use to block out noise).
It seems that the concept of earplugs simply doesn't exist in China.

Pharmacy - no luck
Wal-Mart - no luck
Carrefour - no luck

Anyone have any more ideas for this desperate boy who wants to sleep at night without people yelling in the street and waking him up at 4 am?]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Big problem in China. I have searched everywhere, including many other cities. No luck. 
I went back to the US and had a pair custom made for me in LA. Not much help to you here, but apparently the Chinese don't go in much for most safety products. 
BTW, I couldn't even find any in Bangkok. However Bumrungrad has a dept there that will custom make them, but they are expensive.]]></content:encoded>
