I have the Chinese name of the movie "My Father and Mother" (literal translation) "Wo de fu qin mu qin" but the english title is "The Road Home". I again recommend it. It is very sweet. www.imdb.com/title/tt0235060/
Hej, jag såg på Svensk TV ett par jättefina stillsamma Kinesiska filmer.
"Nuen" är en mycket rörande film.
"Min Fader och min Moder" är en underbart rar och gullig film, nästan helt utan handling eller dialog. Mycket fin. Det är en man som kommer hem till byn för sin Far's begravning och filmen handlar sen om hur hans föräldrar träffades, fadern en lärare och modern en enkel byflicka. Vi får se handlingen mest ur hennes vinkel.
Båda tilldrar sig i mer eller mindre modern tid.

Mitt namn är Per. Jag var i KunMing förra året och läntar tillbaka. Jag funderar på att flytta dit och det kan vara trevligt att känna någon Svensk. Hur länge har du bott där?

Buck, thank you for the concern and the info.
I was trying to be witty. But I am glad you care enough to raise the issue anyhow. :)
As Moutai is made of sorghum, I guess it can contain levels of hydrogen cyanide and nitrates depending on what kind of sorghum used and at what stage its harvested. But who knows what els they add... thinking of that manufacturers of milk powder can add melamine cyanurate to fake protein levels, people making counterfeit booze (or even the real thing) could add God knows what.
An alternative is to brand it "almost" the real thing, and sell it cheap. Same as they take Apple and brand it Aepple or aPad instead of iPad.
That way, they can make some money, stay out of jail, and let us know that we buy "almost" the real thing at less price. So why not sell "Hernessy", "Martill cognacs", "Johny Wakler" and "Aboslut Vodka" (or why not "Almost Vodka")?
As long as its cheap, tastes ok, gets me drunk and doesnt make me blind, Im happy.
The one thing I have had a hard time getting acclimatized to, is the flavor of the hard liquor in China. Sure, I can get plastered for 10Y on traditional Chinese vodka, but it tastes really bad to my palate. Sorry, but the local liquor tastes like badly perfumed industrial cleaning liquid. But hey, its cheap and can be bought at any small kiosk late at night when I cant sleep. :)
First time in KM, I heard him sitting a block down from the Children's Hospital. I have some wonderful photos of him, and last time there I was hoping to find him to give him a print out.
Maybe his repertoire isnt my favorite of the Erhu-classics, but it was really nice listening to him regardless. A handsome man (very photogenic), friendly and a joy to hear him play un-amplified. I just can't stand those who take an erhu and shove through a cheap small portable combo-amp with lots of distortion, even if they do play my favorite erhu-classics.
The Swedish word "motionslopp" should rather be translated as "exercise race" or "exercise run" (motion = exercise and lopp = race (originally from löpa = to run) ).
The idea of the "race" is to encourage people to exercise.
I am very impressed by your response to ben-g. Your openness and attitude gives me a very good feeling towards you and your café.
I usually never go to cafés, and I am sadly not in KM now. But next time I come (soon, I hope) I will absolutely visit Dune Cafe and I will also recommend in advance my Chinese friends in KM to visit your café.
