Forums > Living in Kunming > Oven with plug too thick for regular socket

Yeah you can switch the plug head for a 10a one or use some kind of converter head but if the wattage is consistently really high there is a risk of melting the plug head/socket/breaker switch so finding a 16a socket is the best solution for safety. If you have a breaker box with individual removable plugs then you could also remove one of them and switch it for a 16a one.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Oven with plug too thick for regular socket

The oven must be 16 amps whereas your socket is 10 amps. That means it requires higher amperage and wattage than the socket you are trying to plug it in to has to offer. 16 amp plugs are a bit larger to prevent plugging into a 10 amp socket potentially melting it or throwing your breaker switch. Look around for a socket that says 16a next to the holes as opposed to to 10a then maybe you can run a 16a 4000 watt power strip over to it. There may also be a lone 16a socket in your kitchen that you aren't seeing, check it out.

In the list of languages in the settings Chinese will be first and English will be second, just drag English above Chinese and the language will change to English.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Good site for downloading Chinese subtitles?

Well, dang. Shooter.cn seems to have disappeared. For some reason the creator of the site has shut it down and says basically, 'I had a good run and if I made anyone happy or my site was useful to someone then I am satisfied.' then 'Zai jian'.

No more shooter.cn! Now what? Does anybody know of other similar resources out there? Does anyone know where all of the content from shooter.cn may have ended up and can still be found?

Where can good Chinese subtitle files (.srt) be found for international movies?

Thanks. k

SSeminari is living in a dream. Illegal vendors that are now starting to play loud music on the street late at night while blocking to road for LEGAL (no matter how annoying) vehicles which causes the cars to all honk endlessly at the same time creating tons of litter and undercutting the shop owners who pay crazy rent on that street. It is a residential area that sleeps early and the restaurants on the street don't make near as much noise as these kids produce. I don't believe that the people who buy their wares are there just for the market and I don't believe those people being there is of any help to any of the legal businesses. It's just annoying and rude. No one wants them there but you.

Thanks everyone for their support. We are just waiting and trying to figure out what to do. There has been a major outpouring of love from all of our friends and family keeping us from freaking out. Thanks everyone. Kris

I forgot about this little place for many years, but the other day I was in the mood for hotpot and decided to take a look at the menu. Being vegetarian I was under the impression that they wouldn't have much in the way of veggie options but to my delight they have a veggie set meal and many good options which you can order individually. I feel silly for not having checked earlier. Of course much of the menu has meat options and you can get the split hotpot bowl so everyone can have what they want. I'll definitely be adding this into the rotation. Nice little option right in Wen Hua Xiang.

Love this place. One of the best hidden gems in Kunming. The food is all clean and locally sourced and made with creativity and care. The building is interesting and if weather is good sitting outside is awesome. The homemade tofu skin is to die for as well as most of the other dishes on the menu. They also have a lot of very interesting seasonal specials that keep things interesting. Word on the street is that they aren't doing super well these days though. I hope this old favorite gets a new wave of love!

I love this place! I found it on Baidu maps last October and have been going quite regularly since then and have seen marked improvement in my archery skill. It's so nice to have a new cool thing like this to do in Kunming, and so conveniently located! (For me anyway) It is worth noting that in order to practice there you will need to take a class with the owner to get you familiar with the gear, technique and safety and that this instruction is only available in Chinese. Without this initial class he won't let you practice there unless you can somehow prove that you are already a skilled archer so you'll want to go with a friend that speaks good Chinese if you aren't fluent. 50 kuai an hour for non-members, 30 kuai for members. Membership requires putting some money in an account there, think it's around 200 kuai. The initial class is included in the hourly rate. There are an assortment of different difficulty levels of bows so beginners, kids, and people with lower strength levels can get in on the fun too. Great place for a date! Rule #1 Never, ever dry-fire a bow without an arrow in it!

Nice place, a little hard to find the first time but just give a call and they'll help you find it. Really enjoy the quiet locale and the pizza is really good. Great job!
