Forums > Living in Kunming > Windows 8 is breaking my balls

wipe the RT version off your Yoga and install a standard Windows 8.1. The connection dropping thing is a driver issue which can be easily upgraded (the problem is gone on my Lenovo X230) on a normal version of Windows.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Windows 8 is breaking my balls

Windows 8 isn't that bad and has some interesting features. However I despise the new metro interface which is really useless if you're trying to do real work. Just install ClassicShell (free) and you're back to normal.

Now, as for your SD card. Perhaps the SD card is formatted in a filesystem that is not supported by Windows RT or the other way around. I suggest you copy your data to your Windows 7 machine and then format your SD card as FAT32 (if the size is 32 GB or less) or NTFS (if the size is over 32 GB).

If the NTFS doesn't work, try formatting it as FAT32 (although you'll only be able to use 32GB of your disk), and the other way around: if FAT32 doesn't work, try formatting as NTFS.

I wonder if Microsoft may have dropped support for FAT32 in Windows RT.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Gay scene in China

For a radio report, I'm looking for Chinese homosexuals who can say something about how it is to be homosexual in China. Male and/or female. I'd like to have a short, confidential interview with them. Chinese or English.

Forums > Food & Drink > morning coffee and study near wenlin jie?

Not sure if you need to study in a café or if that's some hip novelty. It's a very expensive activity and in China often uncomfortable: loud and bad wifi. Studying at home eliminates most of these problems.

But if you really do like studying outside before 9am, it would seem a lot of hotels have lobbies where you can get a coffee and a table, most schools will offer the same amenities. Schools have that extra bonus that they may have idle teachers running around and bookshelves full of study material.

Thanks for the info, I'll definitely go and pay it a visit. However with this kind of articles I've come to expect information such as opening hours. Here they are now:

Tuesday to Sunday from 9 to 17h, but they stop admitting visitors from 16:30.

Closed on Mondays (except for bank holidays).

Might go, might go, but the whole accommodation insecurity bothers me. Can I pitch my own tent down? Is there parking if you come with a private vehicle?

Finally I'll let the weather decide. Summer's not known for being kind.

sounds like some sort of pump is in order. Or better agricultural practices to hedge against the inevitable consequences of climate change, to help mitigate it and to protect the highlands that are so essential to our water.

Futures trading was invented as a hedge for those producing the resources. E.g. as a rubber farmer, you would be guaranteed a price for your rubber if you had a future contract with a buyer. The buyer bets that not only does he obtain the product, but he also gets it for the price he was willing to pay and is in modern times of course betting that the market price will be higher than what the future contract stipulates.

On my cycling tour through Yunnan into South-East-Asia, I've stopped regularly at Mei Mei for a bit and a lot of drinks.

The service is friendly, the location is great and the prices are reasonable. I'm over the moon about their brownies (served with ice cream) and coffee. Though I've not had everything on the menu, I was pretty impressed with the dishes I ordered.

Don't bother with Mekong café. Mei Mei is as good a place to rest, at night or in the afternoon and has the better food.

This was my first stop in Jinghong when I was cycling down south. I was hungry and in need of calories, so I ordered up the biggest burger on the menu: the imperial with added cheese.

I was sorely disappointed to see the sad pile of gooey beef and bread arrive, covered in half-melted cheese and not much bigger than two McDonald's cheeseburgers stacked on top of each other.

The best thing about this place are tourist informations, for everything else I suggest Meimei nextdoor or Wangtianshu a bit further in town.

Good noodles (well perhaps most Chinese places can pull off a Chinese dish properly). Excellent selection of beer, including my favourite Orval. Beer is chilled to the right temperature indicated on the label. Friendly and good-smiling staff. Fair-priced. Terrace in the sun.

Only complaint? Not enough matching glasses to serve those delicious beers in. See, if that's the only complaint, it's a 5-star review!

Why can't other places be as good?

If I go back, it won't be for the lazy service or the bland spaghetti bolognese. The cosiness and selection of beers could and the game aspect will be the only reasons to go back. Really some places should just try ro be what they are: cafés, not restaurants.

Though happy with the friendly service, I'm not too impressed with the food quality vs. price ratio. Also, the vietnamese coffee comes without condenses milk as it would be served in Vietnam or next door, in vintage.
