Forums > Living in Kunming > looking for unusual bits and pieces

There is a tattoo/piercing shop right near Jinma Fang 金马坊 (across Jinbi Lu from The Hump). Look for the Suning electric appliance store (up some stairs). It's on the floor above Suning, near a place that sells fruit smoothies.

There is also a tattoo shop in Kundu, can't remember quite where. It's a storefront on the ground floor of the Kundu "ring." It should be easy to spot. Just walk around the ring and look for guys with stretched ears and such. I know for sure they do tattoos but not 100% sure they do piercings. But just go in and ask and I'm sure they can point you to the right place - one of the guys has a split tongue and all sorts of metal hanging off his face.

Hope that helps.

P.S. - Don't look in his photo album if he offers you a look. There are some places that metal shouldn't be, IMHO.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Walmart no more

there's a new walmart outside the 2nd ring road, SW from the city center. i went there the other day and was amazed. the place is great, it reminded me of being in the US. very few people, very well laid-out, with signs in chinese and english directing you where to go to find what you want. the aisles are so wide and spacious that i considered running down them with my arms spread out like a bird.

something is wrong when walmart amazes you.

no link to the news article? i've searched on the net and couldn't find anything similar... but i was wondering if the entire plane had immediately transferred to HK or if some passengers got off inside the mainland. although the difference is only slight: it would be just as easy for all the passengers who DID move on to HK to transmit it into the mainland.

not fear-mongering, (not yet at least); i'm just bored and interested in pandemics.

the article is a little confusing. he was at the door of Salvador's "burning gas" and after burning it for a while turned it off. He picked it up to headed (back) inside the cafe, then put it back on the ground. When he put it back down, it exploded.

but yes, the eyewitness account is clear enough that pretty much anyone there should be able to confirm or deny it.

while i also hope that it was simply a tragic mistake and not a bombing, there is a doubt lurking in my mind that it could have been a bombing and that the media has been told to put a lid on it.

remember the "third bombing" in June that "may have been a tire exploding?" i'm still not clear on that one, but my friend has family in the police dept, and he says that he was told that it was a bombing. so who knows. i can't say either way.

yeah, it says that, according to a Chinese witness, the gas canister handler put it on the ground too hard and it exploded. Is that not what eyewitnesses are saying?

Either way, I'm glad no one else was seriously injured.

I'm still waiting for the smoke to clear so we can get some solid facts.
