"Several children" ! Maybe you could start eating those or exchange them for food with the local vendors through the windows.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Cool designs/tribal painting on houses

The paintings appeared in 2009 when the than governor of Chuxiong ordered these paintings all over Chuxiong district (A Yi district). In Chuxiong even the railway bridges are painted and don't forget the lampposts (Which you can see all along the motorway there as well).
If you look careful you will see the paintings are only on the road side and not at the back side of the houses. I would hardly call them tribal but more a top-down attempt from the governor to pimp the place a bit. Normal Yi houses are earth colourer because they are made of rammed earth or adobe bricks, also they are now often whitewashed. So tribal would be earth colour.

Qoros. Good and good looking car. Modern design so not as overweight as other Chinese cars. I think they don't sell many cars because it actually is a very good looking car and Chinese love ugly cars.

Some time ago I happen to be at the Tesla dealer. A pretty good looking car, especially for something coming from the states. The dealer had put stick-on diamond strips around the dashboard and over the T from Tesla on both the steering wheel and bonnet. His comments where that the car sold much better now.

@Dazzer.

JVs can have some very modern and advanced models. Baoyun is however not a JV product but a sub company especially created to satisfy the GOC and not to make good cars that could be in competition with the JV product.

@Anonymous Coward.
It was not GM who created this but a governmental directive that commandeered JVs to set up local brands that would develop their own models. This with the intention to create local expertise in car design.
Of course this didn't work. The JVs gave some completely outdated designs to their local spinoff because that was much cheaper than setting up a whole new research and development department. Only Baoyun became slightly successful but the hart and mind is not in it. The Chinese Government has realized that their plan didn't work and it is expected that these companies will disappear again. (Maybe with the exception of Baoyun).

By the end of the week, the price of SMM refined indium is 1070-1110 yuan / kg, the average price is 30 yuan / kg lower than last week, the low price resources on the market continue to impact the indium price is stable. Foreign media quoted at US $160 to US $180 / kg, the upper and lower limit prices rose by US $1 / kg and US $5 / kg respectively last week, and strong prices in overseas markets could not completely prevent the weakening of domestic indium prices. At present, the indium ingot price continues to support the power has been overdrawn, and from the raw materials of crude indium production costs, market participants said that the current crude indium still has a certain profit margin. This makes from the cost point of view, because the crude indium price is strong and support the refined indium price stability of the stalemate situation is only a short-term special situation, the market as a whole has gradually lost confidence in the price stability of refined indium.
