Sorry you have to part ways with your aging rabbit. As last resort, try Weibo to seek possible animal-loving owner in Kunming. Sina Weibo sign-in required to view and post. Mostly dogs & cats on the platform, but worth a try.

Exciting times for space enthusiasts this month. There will be three Mars launches in the upcoming days. NASA (scheduled for end of this month), UAE (July 20), and China's CNSA (tentative date set for July 23, if not, July 20 - 25).
"On Friday morning, China's fourth Long March-5 rocket, carrying China's Mars probe, was moved to its launch pad ahead of expected liftoff in a few days. The probe consists of an orbiter, a lander and a rover, and China has worked with many European space agencies on this Mars exploration mission."
Payloads from the French Space Agency as well as Australian Aerospace Agency will also be onboard. If launch is successful, the Tianwen-1 (aka Huoxing-1) journey to the red planet will take around 7 months. Wish them luck.

The student was another imported case. Not local transmission. Thanks to the Chinese government's successful containment efforts, nationwide local infections have been near zero for days as data clearly show.
No results found.

Patrick Scally hands GK editorial reins to Vera van de Nieuwenhof
Posted byFrom purportedly being driven off by @dolphin, to driving this asylum school bus. Vera is now in the driver's seat, to the chant of "are we there yet?"
As it turns out, Patrick was the one driven crazy. and away,
The overabundance of duties for his editorial position (now Vera's) to also moderate posts and spams may have had taken their toll. And probably to a greater extent with Vera's extra event planning/coordination job descriptions.
So CloudBridge management team, don't get cheap on us. Hire more staff such as full time mods to handle the humdrum forums. Also, one more thing, don't skimp on the company farewell party bash for our man.
Thank you Patty (flipper) for imparting ins & outs of our little town for nearly 8 years. Your work on South of the Clouds will remain in the cloud indefinitely.
May your next journey with Sarah take you beyond the clouds to new horizons. Farewell, and be well.
