Is this the social networking site that is for sale?

I have been invited to so many that I have lost count.

Some I don't use but cannot seem to be able to unsubscribe.

Government managers also have other ways of supplementing their incomes. Rife in Kunming.

Regards age discrimination, the OP would be the employer methinks.

b) Camelia Hotel on Dong Feng Dong Lu. If you find them on the web, make sure you get the hotel and not the hostel, if that is what you want.
Rooms are clean, about 200RMB/room/night. They do a so-so crossover breakfast included in the price.
The alternative would be the higher end hotels charging at least double.

c) outside the Camelia hotel are travel agents, there are organised coach trips to the stone forest. This may be easier than getting the train as the railway station is a taxi ride from the hotel. The coaches pick up from near the hotel, and I think a mini-bus is provided if needed. But you are stuck with a tour guide.

@barshopper
We had the same problem. DHL did not deliver, and they then could not find the parcel, and said it was undeliverable. They did not call us either.
One parcel we got (books), the other was never delivered (shirts).

I hope someone from local government reads this.

It would be good if they replant with varieties that are more indigenous to the area. Both drought and cold resistant.
Vast amounts of water is used on a lot of the shrubs in the city when the weather is dry, and the subtropical species with very fleshy leaves will tolerate neither frost, nor drought.

Ok, some of these species may not be as pretty but they are more sustainable.

Like or not, the growth of fast food will demand more potatoes, and it could be a big cash crop for farmers in areas not suitable for growing rice.
On a purely selfish note, it might encourage locals to learn to cook potatoes, instead of serving them half raw.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
