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.
Or are the forecasts supposed to be sunrise to sunset and then after sunset they're for sunset to sunrise or wtf?
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.
No results found.
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.

Posted by@tiger: good post. I spend a lot of time offline. No, it's no real solution. The internet seems to belong to somebody else: Surveill, predict, control, program.

From China to Myanmar: Lisu Christians chase the sunset
Posted byAnybody interested in the Lisu in Myanmar might like to take a look at Gertrude Morse's book, "The Dogs Bark but the Caravan Moves On"; and Eugene Morse's "Exodus to a Hidden Valley" - explains how the Lisu got there. Written by 2 members of an amazing Protestant missionary family.
Bureaucratic declaration limits Yunnan countryside fun
Posted byAgree with michael: goal is fine, but measures proposed probably unenforceable. Not sure I could propose a better method, but methods that don't work simply makes the problem worse - cultural attitudes don't change according to somebody's policy, and if coercion is necessary, it's got to be effective and not just breed contempt for the enforcer.. .
