As in many Chinese Cities, the changes made in the city of Kunming since roughly the turn of the millenium have been staggering and no less then drastic. The drastic physical changes to what was previously a relatively poor city, but now a thriving and modern metropolis, have had a profound impact on all aspects of life in the city and every single citizen. Over the past decade, the city of Kunming has essentially been torn down, rebuilt, torn down again and then further developed. The old city, which held a multitude of wooden houses, low rise apartment buildings and many narrow streets and back alleys, has been transformed. Today's Kunming is no longer a slow-paced leasurely, albiet it somewhat filthy and overcrowded getaway, but a city of modern office highrises, new appartment blocks, many shops and malls and ofcourse wide bloulevards and roads.
As a result of the huge economic achievements made through reform and the advent of rampant Capitalism, social life in the city of Kunming has been completely changed. Although a core of the old town has in essence been preserved, the leasurely ways of the past are no longer. The family life which used to concentrate in the old heart of the city has been moved to the sub-urbs making way to a thrilling rush that leaves even local citizens confused. Citizens of the old houses now live elsewhere, suddenly torn from their old neighborhood and social network to enjoy the pleasures of brandnew housing which introduced to many for the first time the flushing toilet, running water, baths and other never before seen or enjoyed luxuries. Although indeed, whole neighborhoods and clans have been relocated together, the momentous changes have taken life to a new level, and some say - have widened the gap between the Chinese rural and urban lifestyles. Although much improved, Kunming no longer is the "Shangri-La" that so many romantically still crave for.

The mission however was cancelled and Besnack went on to other possibly more influential historic deeds.
