Don't forget to add nutrients to the water for her to really grow. Normally add a bit of money, expensive cosmetics, a few diamonds, and plenty of nagging and she should bloom really well.

Jokes aside, I think he meant that a husband who treats his wife well, with respect, and like a gentleman will be happy and take care of herself. Not that she couldn't do so otherwise, and he didn't claim that. Find one woman who doesn't like to be told she's beautiful and treated as something special by a man who loves her and I'll buy you a beer.

Oh, and boobies. That is all.

Truth be told, it is quite normal. I don't think anyone is knocking you for that, it just seems a bit silly to state that girls in A city are clearly better looking than girls in B city because of such and such reasons. China just doesn't work that way.

People in Kunming, including women are going to be a bit more "bumpkin" than you're likely to see in other highly populated coastal cities. This certainly doesn't mean it's true for ALL of them, it's just going to be a bit more obvious given the geography and the fact that many parts of Yunnan are still rather poor and underdeveloped.

Probably going to be a bit darker than you'd expect, and I have noticed people here are quite a bit shorter and smaller than those you may find in the northeast, like Jilin or Heilongjiang.

You'll find most girls in Kunming are Han, or perhaps at most 1/2 to 1/4 minority of some sort. Some of them can be quite attractive but it again it depends on your preference. Like laotou said, all people in some way offer something different. Take Chengdu girls for example - known throughout China as being rather attractive, but I can't stand to listen to them speak.

What's amazing is how many of the prisons were established in the 1950s. Was Yunnan really that dangerous at the time? What would they possibly need so many prisons for?

I was almost certain that the United States wouldn't allow imports produced with prison labor. Maybe I'm wrong on that one, though.

Definitely give the news a call. I think the one for Jie Tou Xiang Wei is 8099999 or something like that. They mention it constantly on the local news. It may be worthwhile, and who knows - you may get your Macbook back or perhaps even a new one!

Do you think it's a bit suspect that you were robbed ONLY of your computer? Who else knew you were gone at the time, other than your security guards? Has anyone else been robbed in that area before?

You could get a lawyer at Beichuan Lawyer's Office as they speak English - but then again you may be spending a bit on that. It depends on how much your laptop was worth...at the very least getting a lawyer will show your xiaoqu's manager that you're serious about a solution and perhaps they'll start listening.

What a shame this happened to you. You pay these people to guard your home and property and once something goes missing they want little to no responsibility. Let us know how it works out for you.

Wow.
I mean it's quite an accomplishment, but to my eyes over the years it seems to have gotten worse rather than better.
What with hundreds of thousands of newer cars over the years, how does this happen? Does that fall under this 2.5 particulate matter?

Did they happen to mention which city had the overall worst air quality in China?

If this case is like many others in Kunming, it will be quite some time before we hear any solid information regarding the case.

The police have a huge job on their hands now, and are certainly feeling the pressure of having to explain (or attempt to explain) what exactly happened that morning, and why.

I must say I'm really surprised at the lack of attention this has received in the national news. Having a potentially western-targeted attack anywhere in China is huge, and could be a very ominous sign of things to come. Let's all hope it was just a random act of aggression as Lester has pointed out.

The miracle is that no one else was hurt.

Like most of you, I'm of course skeptical about the police killing two birds with one stone and asking a man with severed legs if he had committed other crimes before dying...but that's the official story and unfortunately there isn't any more information to go on at this time.

Just to clarify, isn't an ammonium nitrate bomb essentially a fertilizer bomb? I may be wrong on this but I think it is...in which case it's doubly surprising nobody else was hurt, as bombs like that are incredibly powerful.

Went there for the second time with a few friends the other day. Despite being in really tight quarters, the beers were cold and priced well at 8 yuan for a Qingdao, I believe. We went late afternoon and played with the chess board. Very cool.

The only thing I was surprised about was a 36 kuai game fee we had to pay the next evening? We weren't told that when we were offered the chess board... and weren't charged the first time we went. Needless to say, if that's the case we won't be going back.

I visited this fine establishment with my wife on Valentine's Day and we had a wonderful experience.
The first thing we noticed was the ambiance - it was fantastic. A nice, quiet place playing relaxing music.
The second thing we noticed was that it was CLEAN. Spotless. I felt like I was back home in the states, and it felt good to be in such a well-maintained restaurant.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and we were a bit taken aback, to be honest. We hadn't received such wonderful service since being back home - - - we've been accustomed to rude waitresses and horrible service for a long time!
A bit on the pricy side, but not outrageously so. I'd certainly recommend some of their desserts, and their sandwich selection looked amazing.

The only downside I can see to this place is the location. Too. Damned. Far. Unless you live in the area it's quite a pain to get out there in a reasonable amount of time due to Kunming's less-than-adequate transportation systems. On that note, however, I think it's relative remoteness from the center of town allows it to have the great atmosphere it does.

The first time I've been in a restaurant where I forgot I was in China. I really felt at home.

Give it a shot if you haven't been there already.
