I will continue to observe gokunming's weather forecast (forwarded from wherever) and know that it sometimes will get or has got cold somewhere in Time. Fortunately, this is Kunming, I no longer have to live according to a schedule (Salvador's closes at 11PM, I remember that), and so it's all rarely much of an issue...
So it was originally forecast to be 4C at 4AM this morning, whether that happened or not; or it's forecast to go down to 4C before midnight tonight; or before sunrise tomorrow? If it's the first, it doesn't really help anybody now, does it? If it's the second, then I guess I better carry my down jacket; if the third, I'll perhaps just come home early.
Curious about gokunming's weather forecasts - right now I read "11AM, 11C", plus humidity etc. All right, but the other numbers for temperature are 15C and 4C - do these represent previous temperatures between midnight and 11AM (i.e. that it went down to 4C this morning, after midnight last night), or predictions (i.e., that it will go up to 15C between now and midnight tonight and down to 4C before midnight tonight? I'm always confused, because the coldest hour is usually around 4AM.
Now THAT is a great idea for a long trip - congratulations!
My understanding is that Xiong Brothers bike shop is a good place, but I'm not really the one to ask.
dazzer, got a point there. But what if the bike companies were restricted as to the number of new bikes they could put on the street, per month or year?
It just seems to me that in a world where the human species produces increasing amounts of junk, a bit less imagining that NEW is necessarily GOOD would be a worthwhile idea to implement.
The SIT program was started in Kunming by the late Sam Mitchell and his wife Lu Yuan, and as far as I know it is still going. It's a very good program, though I can perhaps be accused of prejudice because I was associated with it for some time. The thing that inspired me to become so was the fact that many mere undergraduates, some with virtually no previous knowledge of China, were able, within a few months, to turn out such good field studies, the best of which approached work done on a Master's degree level. There are 3 published collections of the best of these studies available at Mandarin Books, all edited by Sam Mitchell (the 1st 2 of the series perhaps better than the last one, in my, and in Sam's, opinion).
I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.

Law prohibits new shared bike companies from coming to Kunming
Posted bySeems to me there should be a law requiring the companies to repair all bikes that are reparable.
