Why won't there be any students or teachers left near Green Lake? As far as I know they don't plan to close the old campuses. Last I checked they were still a lot of grad students down there.
Besides most of these new apartments are empty because a lot of people bought them only for investment.
It also makes no sense to open a restaurant or bar unless you "own" it and aren't renting since as soon as people start moving there the owners will just increase the rent... No point in buying now since the bubble hasn't burst yet.
Anyone know of a place that has AP classes in Kunming? I know KIA offers them, but they require students to have a foreign passport to attend. Not to mention tuition there is a bit high for most families...
Don't bother buying one. Just make sure the Chinese version is legit. Download the release candidate of Windows 8 from Microsoft and dual boot. Then when Windows 8 is released upgrade the Chinese Windows 7 to Windows 8, change to English and enjoy.
Oh, and I'd recommend just doing a fresh install(with format) over the Chinese version if Windows 8 upgrade allows that. That way you get rid of all the crap-ware that comes with the computer.
Apparently a journalist interviewed the locals and they were quite confused on why they built an airport there. This area is known to have dense fog every year, and yet they didn't prepare for it... meh.
The only thing more perplexing is the new law to give tickets for running a yellow light (but I guess that completely backfired already)
uhm, I thought the water in Dianchi was rated unsafe even for industrial use. Why would they let people fish there? Celebrate National Day, and get cancer free... glad I never eat fish in Kunming.
Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.

So have they rebuilt the library at the local college they declared unsafe to occupy after the earthquake yet?
