Dazzer got it: "If she was a traditional girl she would not be dating you, period." Not wanting to "do anything Western" confuses me. She seems to want something Western enough to date a Westerner. Do you plan tp out Chinese Chinese guys?
Try Xinjiang in July. I have no idea what the stability situation is but the weather will be ok.
I spend three weeks there in July and a few days in August 2007. It started to get warm only during the last two days. There was a little light rain most days but nothing like Kunming. Lots of rainbows. I liked Kashgar the best but I was there before the tore half of the old city down. Turpan was pretty good too. Urumgi is a Chinese city but the nightly grand bazaar is a great place to eat and wander through with mutton, noodles and melons. Hard to arrange is a trip north to Kanas Lake, takes a day and a half by bus stops om Buergi, but you go through deserts, grasslands, and mountains. Some photos: www.fotothing.com/kashgar
PM crazy.laowai for help
Totally clueless
AlPage48 ypu are correct, there are no "Apple Computer stores" in China or anywhere else.
The correct name is "Apple Store" and there are 300 world wide. Five of them are in China.
Computers are becoming less and less of Apples business.
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
