The "thumbs down" was a way for the GoK community to show general disapproval of a post, whereas an individual sending a "report of trolling" about a poster is time-consuming and a lot more vindictive. I think it's a backward step.
Why have the "thumbs down" buttons suddenly disappeared?
A little off topic, but what translation apps to folk recommend for everyday use like this (ideally free or cheap)?
Express OK for me too, but no UK servers up as yet.
Is it right that if you get a Shengen visa through country A, you have enter the Shengen area through country A? And exit from there too? Or can you, say, get an Irish Shengen visa but land/enter in France and then leave from Norway??

Price is now 100RMB for adults, 70RMB for children.
Some of the animal areas are as far as 10+km from the entrance - you can buy a hop on/off bus ticket for 60RMB per person, but there are also clearly marked walkways for those who are full of energy.
Everything inside is pretty expensive - consider bringing a picnic.
Many of the animals are in large outdoor enclosures. Some are caged. The park calls itself a safari, but this is not a "drive your car amongst the animals" thing. It's more like a decent western zoo.
There are places to handle/be photographed with animals, for a fee. Also, some kids amusements.
The animal show is free, but a waste of time (unless you love watching goats, sheep, pigs, horses etc!!).
Good labelling i English thorughout.

Still worth a visit, especially for the arhat statues. The 11am vegetarian lunch is basic, but still only 10RMB. Free entry.

Prague cafe used to be my favourite cafe in Wenlin area but I went for lunch there today after a few months away and it's really gone downhill (new owners?). The menu was a photocopy, the food was lacklustre and much more expensive than before, the decor was dull and the service so-so. I won't be back there anytime soon.

It's open! And it's free. And its terrific for kids.
The museum is surprisingly interactive (although only 2/3 of the attractions are working) and modern (VR, simulators, touchscreens, etc). Sadly, no English on any of the displays but the fun is in trying to work out how the exhibits work and what they are supposed to be showing. Well worth a visit.
Snapshot: Life in southwestern Yunnan
发布者Nice pictures. Great to know these places still exist.
Recipe: Yunnan ham with broad beans and goat cheese
发布者Not usually a big fan of the dishes whose recipes are explained on GoK, but this one looks delicious.
37% of Kunming university students consider plastic surgery
发布者I'm assuming 21,000 replied and 37% OF THEM had considered it. If we incude those who didn't reply (I wouldn't) as they probably had better things to do, it might have been a quite different statistic...?
Kunming and Beijing worlds apart on issue of smoking
发布者They could start by enforcing the exisiting laws about not smoking in restaurants. Random visits and fines for the owners to make them plice their own restaurant in future. Banning smoking in parks should be way down the list as most of it is outdoors.
HIV/AIDS continues to plague Yunnan
发布者Once lay next to a guy trying to "find a vein" on a sleeper bus to Zhaotong. Never had more trouble trying to get to sleep...
