Forums > Travel Yunnan > Flight tickets to Thailand in Kunming

I went to Thai Airlines near the train station this morning and guess what? THERE ARE NO THAI AIRLINE PROMOTIONAL TICKET SALES OF ANY KIND AT THIS TIME. So this information above is not correct.

Forums > Living in Kunming > New forum for expats in Kunming

Dear Mr. "inkunming"...
Welcome. We have a wonderful group of foreigners,. both long-term and students, who live in Kunming and Yunnan and we really pride ourselves in being "open", curious, and anxious to discuss all kinds topics and ideas. However, I think I agree with Chris in asking the question "here" in relation to you and your forum. How long have you lived in Kunming or Yunnan or China. Where is "here" or more specifically where are you located in Kunming or are you running this site from somewhere other than Kunming or Yunnan. Do you have an office? How can we meet you and other people involved in designing this forum? If you are located in Kunming or Yunnan who built and designed this new forum? In other words, it's nice to have a little personal information, well, information in general, as to the background and experiences of the person or people who set up websites and new forums such as yours.

One of the reasons Gokunming is such an excellant site and the reason many of us use it (and believe me, there have been plenty of other attempts at forums and websites similar to Gokunming that have started and failed over the past 6 years I have lived here) is because we know the people who put this site together and how they operate. We know them to be thorough and fair. They have gained our respect and we trust them.

So that's why I'm asking my questions and I think perhaps that is what Chris meant when he asked you to explain a little about what "here" means.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Oct. 31st Halloween Night Costume Party & Dance

Our band, The Tribal Moons have been involved in planning the Saturday October 31st Halloween Night Costume & Dance Paty Extravaganza at Uprock for a long time.

This Halloween night in Kunming we wanted a large space and a good club for dancing to live music and DJs. As the agenda was originally planned, with Halloween falling on a Saturday this year, we wanted to get things going early to allow bands and people to be outside as well as inside from late afternoon on Halloween day until the sun comes up the following morning.

Those plans have been changed but the first band will go on at 7:30 pm. and live music will continue until 1:30 or 2am. when the DJs will take over.

Tell everyone about the 7:30pm starting time as the Halloween festivites are getting underway about the time the sun goes down. You don't have to wait until late to get going thsi year!

A complete schedule of bands and activities and times will be posted next week. You also won't have to wait around all night to see who wins the prizes!

This is not a "concert" as was previously stated.

It will be an excitng night of dancing and partying featuring a variety of bands and styles of music. Prizes will be awarded to those in "the best" costumes.

Word has been circulating around Kunming and Yunnan that there will be surprise games and special events.

The Tribal Moons & friends & Uprock want to welcome you to this year's October 31st Halloween Dance and Costume Extravaganza! Get ready!

Cover charge is 20 yuan and will be collected from the start until the party's over. Everyone pays, but it will be well worth the price!

Thanks for the great article — well written, Pat.

Village Progress is a wonderful program that helps bring about vital and important information and services to rural Yunnan.

The creative aspect, the art programs, etc. are something the children and students will remember and treasure for their entire lives.

We support Village Progress!

Seriously, who sits around and thinks this stuff up?

A short film..."It features images of the Stone Forest, Western Hills and, not surprisingly, Across the Bridge rice noodles..."

I have to say that I just wish they'd let Green Lake be the park it is.

I'm not impressed at all with these "new" plans and ideas(?).

We love you Francesca...Diego...Stefania... and Valeria...and all the wonderful people who have worked and been around The Box these past years...We have been going to "our place" for 7 years...and like others, we have so many memories to treasure and remember forever...
We've been through the changes, the good times, and the tough times...we've laughed and hugged and kissed and been there for each other...
I think of the time I played my guitar and we all sang for one of the anniversary parties...Getting special cushions on the bar stools for us...The times I tried the wild drinks, and and once, after a few absinthes, ran up and down the street, loving everyone. (I was told my wife would have to be called in the future to O.K. these excursions into the cosmos).
We always felt safe, at home, comfortable, and we appreciated how everyone at The Box always looked after Cas and I.
Not much to say, except, we're all moving on...but we'll forever be friends and meet up together, all over Yunnan, and in places in the world. We know we will.
We will miss all of you...
Nevada & Cas

Deng Ling has always treated me with kindness and the utmost respect. All the years, since 2007 with The Tribal Moons, and later both as a solo performer and with War Horse and War Whores, Deng Ling has opened her heart and her arms to my music and our bands.

I can't say enough about The Lady...knowing her past and history, knowing and loving her as a good friend, I feel I am one of the luckiest and most fortunate musicians in China...in the world!

We always know when you are gone away and living in London, Deng Ling...and we always know when you return to Kunming — and every time the Camel grows, becomes better, evolves into the true "musical scene and space" you have always envisioned.

I will always carry deep feelings in my heart for you Deng Ling, and for the Camel. Some of us who have lived here in Kunming — and will continue to make Kunming our home — know that you are at the center, you are the pulse that beats...you are our drummer...you are everyone's drummer here in this part of our world...

Hey, thanks for the lovely year-end review. I especially loved the August part where the interview with the guy talks about his "wacky life". Wacked, indeed, I'd say.

Peace, Love and 3 days of understanding, like Woodstock. And you should have been there. Oops, you weren't even born then.
