Our chinese neighbor who lives on the same floor is the only one we've asked because we really dont know anyone else and while our chinese is decent we really would feel awkward knocking on random doors and asking them random questions. I could very much see it as possible that downstairs neighbors could do that. Who is a wuguan? the only building management we really know about is the post office location where we pay our electric and water bill, and again, our chinese is not the greatest so asking specific questions really isnt easy. We really need to get to the bottom of this though. Its been frustrating to say the least.

Day five, no water. Had to try and clean off with a kitchen bowl and drinking water heater last night. Fun stuff. Cooked lunch today and now I cant wash the dishes. What could possibly cause a five day straight shut off? We got water for 30 minutes last night in the sink with EXTREMELY low pressure, just drops at a time. Nothing even close to being able to flush the toilet or run the shower. Is there really a good chance this is a burst pipe? Should I notify someone? If there is a notification downstairs I havent noticed it or seen it, ill look again when i go out but i doubt i could read it. I really doubt there is one though.

tigertiger and hfcampo, there is no angry phase. I understand that this is china. I in no way expect the same from China as I would from home, that would be simply ridiculous. Wanting running water is not an exceptional thing to ask. I have been in china for 6 months and lived in several different areas of the city and simply havent experienced this before so was asking questions, that is all. It's not a matter of anger or accusations or complaining. Who doesnt want to be able to wash their clothes or shower for work? Who doesnt want to brush their teeth and wash their dishes? We are finding ways around it, but I would still like to know the cause of the problem and how long it might persist which is why I was asking questions. Simple. I am assuming this is an infrastructure problem the city needs to deal with as other people in our apartment building dont seem to have water either. We are right along wenlinjie and yunnan university so I've got to think or at least hope that this is an area that will be addressed at some point if an issue like this takes place.

If we dont get some sort of water within a couple days, the landlord can help us find the answer. He is a good friend of ours and wouldnt want us in this predicament either.

Well according to my chinese friends the bans didn't work and everyone still has these large dogs so my point stands. There are bad breeders all over the world, doesn't mean breed bans are effective ways of preventing there from being dangerous dogs due to poor training. Btw, almost any dog that has bad training can be retrained to be good. But whatever, my opinion doesn't even matter anyways. China does as China does and rightly so.

Lemon that's a bunch of false info, i've had dogs people called aggressive my whole life and they're sweet dogs. most people wanna raise dogs well but don't know how. community education programs would be awesome, or having people apply for permits to own these dogs instead of banning. i don't get why the muzzle law wasn't enough, no dog can bite w a muzzle on. china has a right to do as it wishes it just sucks for people like me with a german shepherd service dog, now i have to either live way outside the city or a small town somewhere if i wanna move back. i can't live without my dog.

Dandare, there is nothing particularly dangerous about these dogs. that is why breed bans literally don't work. any dog can be made aggressive if abused. that's why it's important to educate people on how to raise dogs instead of banning breeds. small dogs are actually a lot more aggressive than large breeds.

•

well guess moving back to kunming isn't an option then. wow. people should be able to apply for permits to own the banned dogs. german shepherds are some of the most docile, family friendly dogs there are.

does anyone have an update on this? did they actually crack down? i'm considering moving back to kunming and have two dogs, one is a gsd mix. i can't risk him being hurt. i considering moving to the outskirts of the city or something

I just got back from this hospital and I was very pleased. I showed up in the middle of the night throwing up uncontrollably and was helped immediately. They diagnosed me and brought me to a very nice room. Cozy, 120 channels and even a little attached bathroom. The place is super clean and I thought the staff was very helpful, although due to me showing up in the middle of the night there was no translators. I speak decent chinese so between that and the doctors using pleco on their phones we were able to communicate just fine. i was put on an IV. The following morning their translator was there and she was incredibly sweet and helpful as well. I would definitely recommend this place if you have anything you need. Its clean, friendly, modern, and in my opinion for all the crap I ended up deciding to do, very reasonably priced. Only thing is that I wish I couldve used my insurance as I am covered through it internationally, but the process was too complicated and i decided to just go the cash route.

Just got back from this place. We paid for a cab out there because it had such good reviews, and to be honest we were a bit disappointed. We are huge indian food fanatics and have had a huge range of authentic indian, and this stuff seemed more like a chinese attempt at indian and for the price wasnt worth it. The naan was dry and so thin and brittle that it was more like crackers. The main dishes were medium sized, but were extremely watered down. The meat was coarse and tough to chew, and the vegetables were not thoroughly cooked. It also took us almost 50 minutes to get our food. their redeeming factor was their veggie samosas; they were delicious and very flavorful. Crunchy outside, soft inside. The staff was also very friendly. Overall, if I were to recommend an indian restaurant, i would recommend Cacaja on wenlinjie instead. We have been there 6+ times and found the food to always be very high quality, and the prices are exactly the same as Saramati. I suppose theres a chance they were training in all new cooks or something at saramati and thats why the food wasnt that good, who knows. I just know I was disappointed for having gone out there when I couldve gone to Cacaja instead, especially since we paid such high prices for low quality food.
