Cool. Kunming? I am in south Taiwan =)

  Yep. Kunming. I cycled down the Taiwanese coast years ago - http://pratyeka.org/bike/eastern-taiwan.html http://pratyeka.org/bike/eastern-taiwan.html ... very interesting country, I've been back maybe 5 times, but not enough wilderness for my liking. Almost forgot - starting a maker space http://cave.pratyeka.org/ http://cave.pratyeka.org/

    Ah, I think you missed the mountains in the middle =). I spent a month in Yunnan a couple years ago and hope to revisit. Not enough freedom of speech for my liking. Your maker space looks awesome! I have the same idea to open a shared hacking space in Kaohsiung

      True, I only crossed a little of the mountains. Nice but nothing on Yunnan. Freedom of speech is something I am quite skeptical about in many so-called democracies given the very centralized state of media ownership how many people can stand on the street protesting and still be profoundly ignored by the government. It seems that while you nominally have the right to say almost anything, reaching any size of audience is virtually impossible, and influencing politicans is nigh-on rainbow pony territory. Good luck with your hacking space! You are very welcome to come visit us next year once we're set up. Email in profile.
