I think Yunnan is very good at milking tourists. Scam is possibly too strong a word.

I know of women with shaved heads and women with no hair. Apart from Sinaed O'Connor that is.
To be honest, I can see why they have done this. There are more and more local cars going up and not enough parking. Add to that the fact that local drivers really don't give a frig about people on foot.
I agree with Blade. Unless you want beach bars etc, avoid Phuket. There much nicer areas of Thailand to enjoy beaches and scenery. There is a lot of commercialism and crime in Phuket. I also found many areas of Phuket overdeveloped, and badly developed.

Swedish design ideas, kunming build quality. i have bought lots of ikea stuff in the past, the furniture at #11 are poor facsimiles of genuine item. Yes stuff is affordable, but poorly made and overpriced in my opinion. we took a good look around and looked closely at build quality and walked away.
The Irish are not known for French anything, to be fair.
Let us know how you get on a give your new rating.
It might be worth identifying which Prague venue you are reviewing.
When I first arrived in Kunming I did a tour of Wenlin Jie. I did't like the look of Prague.
More recently I have used Prague in Beichen a lot and I like it.
Ref the comment @nonsecond about being made sick from raw apple, WTF?

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.
