Forums > Food & Drink > Bread in Kunming

Not to familiar with the Kunming bread situation anymore because I simply make my own bread, but as far as I know “good bread”, that is bread without a sweet flavour like all Chinese breads, is available at Igor’s bakery and it is sold as well at Salvadors/Mimosa.

The Wicker Basket shops as well sell a rather bland but not sweet loaf of bread.

A friend of mine gets quite good results himself with a bread making machine, like me, he buys his ingredients on line.

I don’t know about German bread but pumpernickel style bread is available online of the Jason brand which is not bad and at least not sweet.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Many Condo complexes (小区) are giving Covid testing

Well this might as well be the last post on this forum topic because there are no longer mass testings. All the testing sites I know have closed down.

I had my last test on Sunday thus three days ago and still not have received the result. Funny thing is that was the first test I actually had to pay for and my first individual test. As well the only one that might have been positive. I probably will never know.

Many people reporting flu like symptoms and some coming up with Covid positive test results from home rapid tests. Looks like Omicron is spreading freely through Kunming.

Anyway, the days of mass and combined testing are over.

And looking forward to the time when passinger trains will go to Vientiane as well. Much more interesting then touring "The Big Shopping Centre In the North" (=Lijiang).

"Not only will the visas allow tourists to visit the Czech Republic, but also all other countries in the Schengen Area. Under the Schengen Agreement, tourists may use visas for any one country included in the treaty in order to enter any other country."

The old British consulate is located at N: 24-02-03 E: 98-29-32 at the former rice and oil market at the old West Gate (Xi Men which is no longer there). It is next to the stadium in the middle of town. The area around is under redevelopment and should become a town park. The building is totally restored but they left the war damage in the outside walls intact.

@Alien.
The above was just a compilation of entries from vicar in an other discussion.

I already contributed his blabla in reaction to the sentence: "The water crisis in Southeast Asia has been blamed largely on climate change strengthened weather phenomenon El Niño." Just trolling a bit.
Indeed I am not a Vietnamese farmer.

And what's wrong with the world being warmer anyway? People are moving to warmer climates all the time. The places that had coldest winters on record last/this year will certainly be hoping for a warmer period. Adapting to climate change shouldn't need to be that expensive or scary. When the ice on the river Thames used to form so hard between the 17th and 19th centuries, people weren't saying they were all going die if they didn't change their lifestyles. They had frost fairs on ice. Today's warnings on climate change are at biblical proportions and only being used as the idea of hell is losing its hold. In fact the average climate is manipulated by the sun's heat intensity at the time and the orbital position of the earth in relation to the sun which does change over long periods, during which humans were not around for the most dramatic changes. You can also argue that the hotter the sun, the warmer the earth, hence more C02. Proof of major climate change over millions of years all around us, stone forest for example. Try and get the picture of the large chunks of ice collapsing into the ocean during the SUMMER and the polar bear standing hopelessly on the last small block of ice on earth out of your mind. If you were right, the artic cap would be totally gone by now as the use of fossil fuels has been constantly increasing since the idea of climate change by human error came into existance. And from NASA. The largest amount of ice in antartica since 1979, yes, in 37 years. How much fossuil fuel has been burnt since then I wonder. A lot more than the numerous previous ice and warming ages. It's been unpredictable for the past few billion years. Putting the majority of attention and money on agenda focused, tax rising, control grabbing schemes is not working. To save ourselves from natural climatic conditions beyond our control we must turn our attention to how best we can protect ourselves against it because if we are honest to ourselves we will never be able control or prevent extreme weather conditions in our lifetimes.
