Forums > Food & Drink > What is the English name for this pumpkin ?

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.

item.taobao.com/[...]

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)

If you had done your homework you could have learned that Matt left some years ago.
His contributions to this forum where always knowledgeable and to the point. Many based on his extensive travelling around Yunnan by bike and public transport. (Strangely we never met at that time because I travelled a lot through Yunnan as well at the time).

Also I don't know him personally; I really doubt that he is a fan of P99. Matt is a scientist and thus will have little time for Alex Jones & David Wozney.
I don't know about his personal finances but he probably had little money to transfer out of China when he left since he spend it all on bus tickets ;-)

The Kunming local government indeed sold off prime locations in the Kunming city centre. This money was used to build new facilities in Chenggong the planned new centre of town.
The property developers where quite willing to buy these old locations because they realised that he shopping public would not go to Chenggong. What changed however is that China does not shop any longer in shopping centres but shops online.
The result of this is a surplus of shopping centres that are only partly finished or never completed (Of which there are several in my neighbourhood). Even in those that are finished sometimes the facilities like elevators and moving stairs, don't work anymore, probably because there is not enough money to pay for them.
Spring city 66 might turn out to be different because it is an office complex as well and at a junction of metro lines.
