I guess OP wanted something more along the line of what Casey Neistat cruises around in NYC, not segways or hover boards. In which case, Carrefour won't carry them.
@Wayne
Yep, a few Booster boards on Xianyu 2nd hand market for 3,000 rmb. Pricey, but according TheVerge, it's the top of the line e-skateboards.
@red
Not disagreeing with you at all. But some folks here wish to fulfill duties of Asian Representation for their peeps.
Props to Michelle Yeoh for staying classy as always. She's the epitome of 气质.
Awkwafina is adorable in her humble, comical ways. High hopes for her.
Another breakout comedian Jimmy O. Yang has much more depth than outrageously portrayed.
Some of us are more critical because we care.
Stay classy Kunming, no cutting corners!

Hover boards? Like the one in Back to the Future Marty McFly was being chased on?
I saw electric boards (ones that are grounded) at Carrefour near Nanping Pedestrian Street. They're on display by the smartphone section. Xiaomi electronics section is there as well.
For those who still haven't seen it, Crazy Rich Asians (摘金奇缘) is showing in Kunming theaters tomorrow.
No results found.
Update: Kunming Metro Line 3 open as of August 29
Posted byExciting times in Kunming. Line 3 is about to start very soon, probably next month. Don't mind them taking time for safety precautions.
Line 5 "交三桥" station near Cuihu Lake has already begun construction with visible crane by 中铁十八局. There is another "交三桥" station with the exact name on Line 2 (adjacent to the East on the KRT map), which is kind of confusing.

Around Town: Finding solitude in the middle of the city
Posted byThank you for this post. Early mornings just before break of dawn will always reap quiet solitude in any city. For said morning birds, get the Kunming Zoo (Yuantong Hill) annual pass for just a little over 100RMB, and enjoy peaceful morning walks or jogging (w/ changing elevations) before 7am.
Up to 1,000 Dali businesses to close in face of new policy
Posted byI hear lots of locals in Dali are suffering from the mass shortage of tourists, not just the foreigner-run guest houses around the lake. Short-term sacrifice for long-term sustainability I suppose. Hang in there Dali.
