Forums > Living in Kunming > Dating Chinese Girls point to note, even if tomman, mm and latt are all the same person, and all persona act like trolls, does not mean that all trolls are mm/tomm/latt. it really is time to stop the witch hunt/cyber stalking wich is worse than trolling. people should be allowed to move on, if indeed they buck fu88 up again, and then maybe create a new id to try again. FFS we have enought to worry about with the odd sock puppet without turning on ourselves. certain people may be smug gits, others are paranoid, and others who witch hunt(gotta wonder what their propblems are)

Forums > Living in Kunming > How does one meet nice Chinese women? ive met very few of the so called sterotypical losers in china. the vast mojority of guys i meet are sound. guess it is just the company i keep. only lived in about 5 places over 10 years so what do i know. so call a spade a spade or a sterotype a stereotype if you will, but they is still hitting wide of the mark.

Sounds like someone else is rewriting the past.
Chinese college freshmen increasingly unfit
Posted byI agree that it is not the fault of the university. The university is just where these out of shape kids end up.
There is a cultural issue and the parents are part of the problem. Most parents would let their kids study longer and sleep less, which is why laws were introduced to limit school hours.
The only way to effect uniform change is for sport to be mandatory in schools. If all kids spend a few hours less in the classroom there is still equity of learning hours in all schools. Some of the heat of GaoKao will be off, not increased.
The levels of fitness will vary, as kids from the countryside often do help on the farm, especially at harvest. Harvest is just before kids go off to university. However, the kids from the countryside are less likely to have had access to an education that will set them up for entry to China's elite universities in Beijing or Shanghai.
The study harder, get better grades, get to a better school, get better grades IS a virtuous circle. But only if you look at grades and forget the whole person. These kids may be top academically but may be physically, and emotionally damaged. This also impacts in their future families and this will affect society.
Yunnan Shanquan to raise prices 50 percent
Posted by50% margin sounds like a lot, but actually it isn't for this type of industry. The margins on some of things you buy can be as high as 300%.
We think of low margins when we look at mass selling, dry grocery in the supermarkets for example. Unless a product is ONLY available in the supermarket, and supermarkets only compete with each other, we don't see low margins. A lot of products in the supermarkets (e.g. chips and soda) have margins of 30% plus).

To be honest, I was amazed that they could do it for 10rmb.
Green Lake to get wetter, brighter, noisier
Posted byIf the picture in the article is recent, it also shows another design problem with Chinese fountains.
All the pipework and lights are usually above the water. This is easier for maintenance, but in the 99% of the time when the fountain is not operating, it is an eyesore. Putting the pipes, etc. below the water is done in most other countries, that way people can enjoy the ambience of the lakes waters most of the time.
