@angelcrazy2: In the past, GoKunming has had exclusivity agreements with two companies. These agreements have since expired. GoKunming no longer has exclusivity clauses with any companies or individuals, nor will we in the future.

GoKunming has been around for seven years and in that time has undergone two redesigns aimed at improving its functionality and accessibility.

The last redesign went live in July 2010 and since then both the site and its number of users have grown significantly. The GoKunming team has started to work on redesign once again, looking for ways to update current functionality and introduce new features.

Our goal, as always, is to provide GoKunming users with the best experience we can. To that end, we encourage you to use this forum thread to give us your ideas and opinions on what you would like the new GoKunming to be.

Some specific areas where we would like feedback:
- general site features
- possible improvements to current functionality
- sections beyond the currently available (events, classifieds, forums, etc)
- user account features
- usability and user interface

Please leave constructive criticism and also tell us what you like.

Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

The GoKunming Team

No need to load the bike onto a small truck. I had my e-bike stolen in front of Slice of Heaven two months ago. I parked right in front of the door with the bike on steering lock, thinking I would only be inside for one minute. One minute became 3 minutes and as soon as I walked outside it was gone. They must have unlocked it in the time I was inside, with guards and security cameras of the yun'an shang pin xiaoqu only a few meters away.

Thieves have become more common and more skillful in stealing all kinds of scooters. If you have a nicer one especially, don't even think about not using an extra lock these days, wherever you are and however long you think you need before returning to your bike.

We at GoKunming agree that we should be listing more cultural events as well. For a big part right now we rely on venues submitting their events, mainly because being able to actively reach out to every venue and finding out about every event through many different sources requires quite a lot of dedicated time spent.

We try to list as much as possible and at the same time we'll never be able to list everything that happens in the city. Admittedly, the parade was a rather big event – still something I only found out about by accidentally passing by.

@blobbles: Thanks for sharing your ideas. As a matter of fact, we're working on redesigning the website and welcome any ideas from our (regular) users to make the website better. Don't expect big changes until several months from now, as we take the redesign seriously and hope to create the best possible website we're able to come up with now. Your suggestions for the events section have previously already been incorporated in our new (concept) design, as we already came to the same conclusion as you did. :)

I would be careful when going to YunDa hospital. I had a pretty bad eye infection a few weeks ago and also went to YunDa. They were correct on it being a bacterial infection, after which the 3 giggling girls looking into my problem decided I needed a drip, 2 types of eyedrops and 1 type of eye cream. All of these were antibiotics. I laughed and left, called up a friend – also a trained doctor – who told me to only take Amoxicillin orally. The infection was visibly gone in 2 days (I kept taking the antibiotic for a week though).

Also, if your problem is not caused by a bacterial infection, taking antibiotics can possibly make it worse. Many of the doctors here, and especially people working in pharmacies, will give you wide-spectrum antibiotics for every problem, so always make sure you know what they're giving you.

Richland will usually give a decent diagnosis, but make sure you go there during regular hours as a lot of their better doctors / specialists won't be on duty in evenings / weekends / holidays.
