    Fellow glasses wearers,
    I've heard that it's not hard to get an accurate prescription here, but that getting good progressive lenses is not really possible. Has anyone gotten good progressive lenses here and if so where? If not here, have you gotten them in Thailand?

    thanks,
    kemelin

    Yes, it was torn down. It has relocated to:

    普吉路77号 (交通学校旁)
    in this market
    多尔惠淘宝城

    I got this from one of the merchants who was moving her shop and she gave me her business card.

    I haven't been up there yet, and I'm not sure which bus to take.

    ...should hurry to the Chengdu consulate to get pages added. I just read that this formerly free service will cost $82 as of July 13th. The price for passport renewals is also getting jacked way up.

    Gotta balance the budget somehow I guess...

    I'm planning on traveling in Sichuan and Xinjiang this summer, and maybe Qinghai. I plan on leaving toward the end of June and returning in early August. I'm looking for someone who is, like me, a laid back, budget-minded, non-smoking, spontaneous yet responsible female traveler. If you might be interested in joining me for all or part of the trip, let me know.

    I'd also be interested in hearing about anyone's recent experiences in any of these provinces.

    There is a great second-hand clothing market on the 65 bus line, on the map it's next to 昆明西苑客运站 on 科华路. I was there today. Lots of stuff for just 5 or 10 kuai. Good stuff, including lots of winter coats for 10 kuai.
