Baby bullet and baby steamer?
When I read this I was wandering what the hell these things are. Googled it and found out that it are American ????????????????
Anyway. Don't look any longer for a voltage converter. In many shops you can buy these very popular devises that Chinese use to blend and cook food. (Blender/cookers I call them). Does the same thing.
And steaming things was invented by the Chinese and there are various local ways of doing it.
White wood glue is available at many places and comes in big pots of nearly a litre. Price is dirt cheap at something like 15 RMB per pot. You can buy it at B&Q as well of the Pattex brand from local supplier Panda.
The more useful and waterproof polyurethane glue I never found in China.
But what I would recommend for the job, and many other jobs, is the two components "Modified Acrylate Adhesive" sold under the type name "302" here. Dirt cheap and multipurpose and hardens out in minutes. No need to glue in wood bits either just plaster the stuff in. Big tubes come for as little as 5RMB.
It is best bought in these hole in the wall building supplies shops you find in many streets who sell paint brushes, cheap (and crap) extension wires and things like that.
PS:
SuperGlue (Cyano-acrylate) is sold here as "502" and cost nothing compared with western prices. Tubes at 1 RMB and small bottles at 3RMB. Not suitable for the job as described above however.
The 4th of September is / was a rainy day in Kunming with low temperatures and this now has resulted in already 2500 words of text about this topic. So much for culture.
Indeed there are maps with a road between the Nujiang valley and the Lancangjiang valey just under Gongshan but in reality there is no road right now. There is a road under construction but nobody knows when it will be ready. New roads tend to be frequently closed again after opening due to land and mudslides because the slopes above them are not secured enough. Especially in the rain season this is a problem.
In general don't trust Chinese maps. A lot is wishful thinking. I know roads and bridges on maps from 2005 of which the construction was just started this year.
Another point to take into account is that maps here are political. In remote area roads are often depicted as being bigger than they are in reality. I travelled at dirt tracks that were indicated as major highways.
One of the better maps of Yunnan is actually Google maps also this is often full of mistakes as well. Bing maps are an absolute waste of time. Even the motorway to Dali and Baoshan, also ready for years, is not on it.
If you really want to be sure it is possible to compare Google maps with Google Earth. It requires some skill but it is amazing to find out how much information you can get from Google Earth or even the "Satellite view" from Google maps.
Anyway in remote area it is good to ask for local information about the state and condition of the road also few people know anything that is further away than 10 Km.
Sometimes taking a break for half an hour works as well. Just observe the traffic that is passing. If busses pas with a destination past the area you are concerned about pass or cars with other number plates than the local code than that is an indication that a road "might" be open.

I largely agree with you that it is not the dog but the owner that is the problem. But you have to realize that there is a correlation between them, like people that buy a Lamborghini are more likely to be involved in a high speed accident than people who buy a QQ.
The problem is that people that, let say, buy a pit bull terrier, usually are not doing so to prove that these are nice family dogs but do so for the reasons why these dogs are forbidden now.
An other point is that certain breeds which where OK before, like for example the various shepherd breeds, for whom I have as well have good experiences, I was allowed to walk a friend's shepherd when only 4 years old, have changed.
Many of these dogs are not any longer what they used to be. This because of unscrupulous breeding for commercial reasons. The nice and friendly shepherd I walked as a 4 year old is not the same as the shepherd my neighbor bought as a status symbol to go with his Cayenne.
For this reason I support banning breeds. Not because of the dogs but because of the owners.

Kidnapping of a dog in our compound occurred yesterday. The dog was lured outside with a ham sausage and then taken off the compound. Security camera's showed all the action even of the kidnapping lady buying the ham sausage in the convenience store next to the compound.
The dog involved was an Akita, which is one of the forbidden dog breeds in Kunming. Apparently there still is a market for these dogs.
