Forums > Living in Kunming > What's the name of that colorful baby carrier?
What's the name of this in Chinese? The colorful baby carriers that the minority women use. I tried to post a link to photos, but was rather curtly informed by the software that doing this makes me a spammer. :(
I'm having a hard time finding more than a few to choose from on Taobao. I'm searching for 背扇 and 背篓 and only getting a few plain-looking ones. What's the right word to search for in Chinese?
Alternatively, does anyone know a Kunming shop that specializes in these, that has an online presence? I don't live in Kunming and you all know it's a bit far to run to a shop out there! :D
Nowhere to kowtow in barren fields
Posted byBurma is the name of the country in English. Talk to anyone from there, they'll tell you they're Burmese. Myanmar is the illegitimate name that the military junta chose, it's not the preferred term (unless you're the sort of obedient tool who includes Taiwan and the nine-dash line on your maps of China). Countries have English names, otherwise China would be Zhongguo and Japan would be Nihon. Italy would be Italia and Germany would be Deutschland. But they're not because we use the country's English name, not its name in native language.
