  • Singapore preparing for high-altitude challenge
    

    @GTan - if ease of access is the only concern then why not play in Guangzhou or even Hong Kong? at least those places have a higher number of international flight connections...

  • Kunming launches forum site for foreigners
    

    hahaha... that's funny. let's forbid anyone of below average height from expressing an opinion too. how about females? old people? as a guest i would like to say that the use of Chinglish on websites such as InKunming is needless and detracts from the overall appeal. but i'm just a 'guest' who uses 'offensive' terms so who cares? right?!

  • Kunming policeman accuses chengguan of breaking his leg
    

    So they can now beat policemen along with the poor and anyone not 'connected'. Strange then that they appear frightened to challenge the relatively affluent illegal sellers on Wenhua Xiang. Maybe they're afraid that they might beat the son or daughter of Li Gang...

    i went up to the cemetery last week but failed to find the way over to Jiaoye Park (and on to the bamboo temple). any advice? nice ride anyway though...

    I wonder if bees and othe flying 'things' are counted. what about abnormally big or small flies? surely 3 small flies or one really big one would be equal to 2 regular sized ones.

    I just read this: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/[...]
    sound familiar? just replace Japan with China and i guess NJ would become NC. still, if Yang Rui and the xenophobic retards get their way 'microaggressions' will be the least of our worries.

    welcome Nicole. your little rant is 'slightly' off-topic (which was the whole point of this thread). but seen as you brought it up... it might be a good idea for you to 'critise' yourself before you 'critise' others! ;)

    Crazy.laowai, both tigertiger and I have posted links to two of the WB locations. both pages have (google) maps. the other location is in beichen/the north and far from Guandu. did you even check the links or could it be that you are a troll?? as others have mentioned, you and Gaoxin are similar in some ways and you both remind me of BillDan. maybe you have a problem.

    the GoKunming search function might be useful for you... there's a google map on there too.

  • Kunming > Justice Bike Shop
    正义车行

    not a bad selection of stuff and some of the staff obviously know their way around a bike. however, the 'special' prices for foreigners and the fact that some of the staff will use a big hammer to fix anything keeps me from going back. you could do better.

  • Kunming > John's Car Service
    邦恒租车

    even though we left it until the last minute to book, john was very helpful and did his best to accommodate our needs. 7 of us took the minivan to Jiuxiang Scenic Region (九乡风景区) for an all-inclusive Y550. the ride home was a little bumpy in the back row of the minivan but that was the only minor issue with an otherwise excellent day and john can hardly be blamed for the condition of the roads! will definitely use the service again and would recommend it.

  • Kunming > Cacaja Indian Restaurant
    印度菜菜

    I won't go there again. The yoghurt is tasty and the curries are usually ok (they seem to vary in quality depending on the day and time). What really annoys me is the fact that they can't comprehend that I order dishes to eat TOGETHER... if my curry arrives 30 minutes after all the other dishes it's not really acceptable. Then again, neither is the 1 hour wait for the rest of the food or the incorrect dishes being sent. By the way, why can't I sit on the 3rd floor until both of the other floors are packed full? Has it never occurred to them that I might want a quiet meal and, after all, I am paying for it!

  • Kunming > The Silver Spoon Café

    some nice food/snacks and helpful, friendly staff. this quiet place is great for relaxing if that's what you're after. the portions are a bit small (especially the burgers) and the menu is pretty limited. i'd heard great things about the salads but they appear to be a lot smaller than they were (or so i'm told). finally, the service is really slow. i hope you can sort it out guys because this place could so easily do better!

  • Kunming > Samoana Café
    沙慕安咖啡屋

    i'm not religious in the slightest but i didn't really get the feeling that it was overly 'God Squad'. the fish n' chips and 'mud pie' dessert alone are enough reason to keep me coming back! friendly staff and reasonable prices.
