    Thanks Matthew, Quester and ChudinChina. All of your replies were helpful. Guess I need to go to HK. A friend said he was able to get one in Dali at the PSB there, but perhaps the laws have changed. <groan>

    Can someone tell me the address of the PSB on Beijing Lu in Chinese so I can show it to the taxi driver?

    I have a Z visa now, but my residence permit expires in 6 days, so I have to get a 30 day tourist visa at the local PSB.

    If I'm here on a Z visa and need to have it extended for a month, can I do it here? My current residence visa expires July 12, 2011 and I need to extend it another 30 days. Any ideas? Where do I go and what should I bring along besides my passport and the Z visa and current residence permit?
    Thanks!

    Trying to get from Kunming to Zhuhai. It seems that the best way so far is to fly to Guangzhou and then take a train to Zhuhai. Any other ideas? Do I need to get the train ticket from GZ in advance or just buy it upon arrival?

    Thanks

    I'm planning travel to Jakarta Indonesia which requires Americans to prove vaccinations for Yellow Fever upon entry. Since I've never had such a vaccine to the best of my knowledge, where can I get one in Kunming?

    If possible, please post or email me in English and Chinese so I can show the taxi driver, and be able to tell the doctor what I want.

    Perhaps at the same clinic on Wenlin jie?

    Thanks for your help.

    First thing you should know is that the Google map location isn't accurate. My advice, call for directions.

    I finally found it on my second effort and asking many people for directions. I was rewarded with a a fairly decent pizza, an outstanding cheesecake and a Mango frappe that was delicious, thick and creamy. Wow!

    Recently, they have expanded their menu and are cooking steaks, ribs and some pastas. The lasagna was my first in 1 1/2 years and while tasty, it lacked the oomph of a zestier tomato sauce.

    Now for the best part - The steaks! They are tender, full of flavor and properly seasoned and cooked. I haven't had a steak in China that was worth a dime until now. This steak was fantastic! Others who have tried them agree. They use a purveyor to get tender beef and it is worth the money. A loaded, baked potato and mixed vegetables, bread sticks and glass of house red made this experience the best by far. The steaks are 5 star!

    They are also serving breakfast and while I haven't tried it yet, I plan to do so soon.

    Most of the employees speak English and service is very good. I only wish that they were open later than 9:00 p.m.
