Dang, I saw it in advertised in Beichen a week ago, was planning to go. Now there will be complete denial that the movie was ever considered for release or in fact the movie even exists!
Interestingly the western news site where I read about this listed that they had actually contacted the Beichen Fortune Centres boss!

Straight - actually quite a lot for this I have heard, straight is usually zhi2 but I have heard zhao4 zhi2 or qu4 (meaning go of course) or yi1 zhi2...
Oh right, so it is actually made in Germany, but it is in no way beer that Germans would ever drink. I get it.
Ha haa, this is why there is so much HK to China trade in milk powder also. There is obviously a disconnect between what companies are wanting to provide vs what customers actually want.
Couldn't I make a hell of a lot of money therefore importing NZ milk powder directly to China and selling it as REAL NZ milk powder? It would just be a matter of actually convincing people I guess.
Agree, the last "German" imported beers I bought from Walmart were most certainly not the same as you find in Germany! But they were labelled in cans that looked exactly the same... its clear after the first taste however and the nauseous feeling afterwards that they are less that genuine. I never finished the first can and luckily only bought 2. Someone, somewhere, is making a hell of a lot of money creating terrible beer and hocking it off for imported beer prices.
I would suggest that if you have to do the chasing in China, then you are probably onto one of the good ones :-)
I had to chase my girl a bit until she finally came to her senses!
I never came here looking for love and never suffered from "yellow fever" which is obviously chasing girls for the way they look. But hell, I will definitely accept being attached to an attractive girl! A line up of my past girlfriends look like a UN conference so really I can't be accused of chasing Asian tail! I had no problem with girls in the west, but it did seem to me they were becoming less and less interested in family and more and more narcissistic and high maintenance the older they got. But at the same time they were much more interesting and well rounded having diverse tastes and experiences. My wife is the complete opposite which makes for an interesting change, but she is still quite young so opening up her eyes to many things.
Tigers right though, shared values, similar education levels, similar personalities are what leads to a good relationship. Cultural differences are a source of strength too, IF you are both open to changing even your core beliefs. Otherwise they are a source of frustration in your relationship.
Excellent story JJ, awesome!

So fast, so convenient. One star off for opening before the train station stop is connected!
Wow, just wow. Possibly the best Chinese food I have had in Kunming. And in one of the nicest, traditional courtyard style restaurant I have been in. A woman dressed in traditional qi pao playing a gu zheng just adds to it.
We had okra, mushroom soup, dried beef and chou dofu. All top notch with the bill coming in at just over 250 kuai. But we could have fed 3 people for that so not too bad at about 80-90 kuai each. Not the cheapest but for the quality, it's damn good.
If you have people visiting and want to take them to a traditional Chinese style restaurant with Yunnan style food, or want a romantic night out with a gal, you can't go wrong here. Close to Green Lake (down a little alley) for a romantic walk... Just perfect.
Pretty good place for getting all your documents translated and/or notarised. Note that there are a number of notaries in the building which you can find by going up the stairs (the elevators are impossible). But you have to find the stairs to do so... go in the door, head over to the right, go up the big wide stairs which head up a floor, turn right then right again into the elevator area and right again into the stairwells. Whew!
One point off for the elevators never being available and having to hike 7-9 flights of stairs (not good if you have to go 3-4 times a day like I often did!)
This does not stop at the Jinanya hotel at Da Shang Hui as the flyers state (and is on the images tab here). They need to have another stop in the same area or else they are missing out on covering a big chunk of the city.
You can take another bus, the 919C, I believe, if you are nearby Da Shang Hui, which leaves from the bus station on HeHong Lu, nearby the Qianxing road intersection. This bus goes every hour and is white, found at the western end of the station. It is operated by a different company and takes about 1 hour 10 minutes to get to the airport due to a large number of stops especially near the airport.
Great bus though if you can catch it!
Friendly people, even got to the talk to the vice consulate, who told me she had done a stint in Malaysia's Siberian Consulate!
English is spoken by some of the Chinese girls working at the desk who are pleasant to deal with. I assume they do Visa's as well but I wasn't here for a visa, this time!

Some laowai flying out on the first day!
Riding into Kunming's future
Posted byCool, so for now the best way (cheapest probably and get to ride the new rail system!) to the airport is a bus to the East Bus Station then rail to the airport. Excellent!
The drought: Good and bad news
Posted by766,000 cubic metres of water a day...
Say 7,660,000 residents (roughly to make calculation easy) = 0.1 cubic metres of water per day or 100L per resident. By western standards, thats pretty good for a city (which of course includes industry water usage etc). But of course it could be better (how many people would use anywhere near 100l? For myself it equates to around 20-40L including a shower!).
The average for China for all water use is 700 m3 per person or roughly 2 m3 per day, but that includes agricultural users who are providing us city people with food which requires lots of water. Probably the biggest impact you could have for reducing your water consumption is: eat less meat as it requires so much water to grow, particularly beef. However that is indirect consumption so much less measurable than direct water savings.

Posted byInteresting, did you update this article? You probably should have made an addendum to the bottom rather than actually re-write stuff... gets confusing for us readers... much better of Deng Ling on the drums though, girls playing drums are hot :-)
