At the moment this vegetable is in season but I never found the name for it in English.

Since I cant post pictures here I include a link to a Taobao page that sells them so you can have a look.

Google translate comes up with "Ginger Handle Melon" but I doubt that that is the real name for them.

And since we are at it; what is the name for this one:
detail.tmall.com/[...]

It might be Chayote (Sechium edule) (aka Mirliton in Louisiana)

The other day I noticed a large poster with pictures of all the forbidden breeds outside a vets clinic. The Kunming dog looks identical to a German Shepherd.

I noticed as well, after a noticeable drop in day and night long barking, that the three Doberman Pinschers that were kept inside a metal bar prison near my place have disappeared.

An acquaintance of us relocated his Belgium Shepherd to his parents place in rural Yunnan.

So things are happening.

Kunming dog.
I wandered that as well some time ago when this list came out. For me Kunming dogs are the small brown dogs that roam my neighbourhood in packs but I was mistaken.
During WWII a Chinese version of the German shepherd was bread in Kunming because there was a great need for guard dogs. So the Kunming dog is a German shepherd like dog.
