Thanks Mike! This is a great website and free to use.
@Kirkpatrick: interesting article. Don't expect the US to do anything like this. US govmt can't even do websites.
Android app is named: windyty
Time to learn the syntax of Chinese addresses!
The Uber app has been changed and is less 'Foreigner' friendly they say. Getting the address is supposed to be the problem. In the US your location is a GPS address sent to the driver.
Here is a comparison of an old address of mine in both English (American syntax) and Chinese (Hanzi Chinese syntax), which worked very well for me.

Is the "GoKunming International Tourism Service Center" a new project for GoKunming? Or, has the name and franchise been lifted?
Saw some expensive 28 year old tea in Zhuhai several years ago but this is outta sight.
Free State of Jones - Interesting and intense film about US Civil War, slavery, and southerners who, poor and not owning slaves, resisted the secessionist government.
No results found.
Good for quality, but pricey, hand tools.
Be aware they will push whatever they are selling. Some of the staff have no idea about the technical side of appliances.
I went there to buy a stove. I repeatedly told them I would be using bottled gas. They sold me a stove. When I went to my local gas guy, I learned there are at least three kinds of gas sold. Luckily, B&Q did not deliver as promised. I went back to the store and discovered they had sold me a stove they needed to be hooked up to the gas main. I got my money back.
The sales lady was almost in tears, 没有问题！I don't know if it a safety or design issue, but I would think B&Q would know and care.
Last week had an 8:45am flight.
Subway starts at 9am. I have no idea where to catch an airport express bus. Eight taxis refused to go to the airport. After almost an hour standing on Beijing Lu took a black taxi, this dude drives slower than my mother, 120 yuan.
Flight back was delayed so I learned the subway stops running at 6:10pm.
Getting a taxi back was easy, more taxis than customers. Taxi was 87 yuan including 1o yuan toll, airport to Beichen area. Yes, he took a longer route than necessary.
Kunming imagines being a gateway for international travelers. New airport but hard to get to and from it.
World Class Airport, NOT!
Tonight "Peacock", a performance by Yang Liping (杨丽萍), to begin her world tour, 8pm, 100-1680 yuan at Yunna Haigeng Auditorium.
Saw this lady perform at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, in California, in 1995. Quite a good and interesting show.
I'm going to try to make it.
Not so good. Kimchi had a very sour taste. Other food was nothing to brag about. I don't think I would go back.
This bus station is not located as indicated. It is further North!

发布者Mei Mei Cafe is great!
Orchid, and her sister, run a great place. Good food, lots of free advice on where to go and how to get there. Want a tour, need a car, a ticket? See Orchid, she's the tall beautiful lady.
Every winter since 2004 I've headed south to Banna. First stop is Mei Mei's. Just tell the taxi driver "Mei Mei Cafe" and in about 10 minutes you are there.
Now, if they just had T-Shirts
