Yahoo has been blocked before, but this time I think it's just terrible DNS service. It's very very slow these days. Try hitting "refresh" and "x" to stop and reload several times. It will load after anywhere from 3 to 10 attempts ;)
As others said, their servers aren't being blocked. It's just their domain not resolving in a timely manner. So if it's something not programmed to try many times then it won't work. Apps usually work because they assume an unstable internet connection.
I looked this morning, and pretty much all the official documents came out this way in China after translation. We ended up getting three "copies" of everything. One to give the the consulate. One to keep in China, and one to take to the US. I think they're also included in the brown bag of stuff we give to immigration upon arrival too. So we'll actually have two of everything in the US.
My wife's police report also didn't include the original report. She passed without any problems. I'll double check tomorrow morning to see what's inside, but I think they just retyped it and printed it in a big white notebook looking thing.
I could use ExpressVPN last night. Took 4 or 5 tries though. Generally if you have problems connecting for a long time try disconnecting the modem/router for the internet and reconnecting.
This morning without VPN I couldn't even connect to China Eastern Airlines web page... yeah, go figure. Later in the morning, without VPN, I finally connected after more than a dozen tries.
If you use more than so much a month they double the rate. I believe the it's 10 "units" where each unit is 10,000 l, but I'm not sure. You can go look at the water bills posted and see that those who use more than 10 units a month are much more than others.
So why don't they test the products at the source, or at least the lake water? I guess speculating is more fun, not to mention safer for the reporters anyways.
The rainy season usually doesn't start until about July or August.
There were a couple of days we ran out of water in the afternoon/evening this month, but it hasn't happened since. I live near Yunnan Yingxia on Chuanjin Lu.
The management said Kunming only has about 50% of the water it needs. I've heard as low as 30%.
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.
The drought: Good and bad news

Kunming launches forum site for foreigners

Guess I could use an editor too :P

Posted byThe forum looks nice, but could the topics aren't well organised. The main site definitely needs a more organised layout.
Overall the English isn't too bad, but there are some articles that could use an editor. Any reason why you just don't hire an editor?
