So inflation has been on a steady rise in yunnan for about 5 years now. Every year there is a report that comes out saying that inflation is up 2.5%...which people never paid attention to because it really didnt effect the daily life of someone in kunming as Kunming has always been the most expensive city in all of Yunnan.
But that all changed this past week. in a week, every thing from restaurants to market places have raised all their prices 10-25%. I have heard tons of complaints from tons of people, but the fact of the matter is that it has been in the making for sometime now....I didnt see this coming, but i understand. This just has to do with the fact that they can do it down here because businesses know that they can get these prices...And they will.

So since we are so frustrated with the soccer organization that handles the soccer games, the "executives" of our soccer team have gotten together (including me even though i have tried to stay out of it, but apparently i am an executive) and we have decided to book a field every week at 4:00pm on Saturdays and just play against ourselves...we will do this for a month and see how it works out....if we get a constant flow of people coming every week, then we are going to add the Laos team and a good chinese team and book the pitch for four hours and try to start our own 4 team round robin for the summer. I am really excited about this because we are getting the good field.
