Several of the nice chinese bars on Jianshe lu shows the games as well, though only one of them (as far as I could see) had a really big tv. Still, might be a good option if you prefer to hang out with chinese people and/or want your beer cheap.
I'm not absolutely sure, but it seems one person in my class at YNNU got his/her visa cancelled because he/she never attended class...
Deleted my post, sorry, it was a bit off topic.
well, this begs the question: how expensive is this place?
I took the first dose of the Ixiaro japanese encephalitis vaccine in Sweden four months ago, and now I would like the second and final dose. But where to get it? Is there any vaccination central or hospital that I could go to where they speak enough english for me to communicate the circumstances and what type of vaccine I need? (Worst case, I could probably ask a chinese friend to accompany me, so the english-speaking-part is not absolutely essential, I just need a place that has Ixiaro).
Grateful for any help

The temple itself is interesting, but small; the surrounding exhibitions range from pointless and boring to rather fascinating, but you really need to know chinese or have somebody translating for you to get anything out of it. If you only have limited time in Kunming, skip it and head for the Bamboo Temple instead. Otherwise it's worth a visit.
The place itself is somewhat interesting, the hike there through the mountains is very nice and the views absolutely stunning.
Though overpriced, the bread is good and the pizza not bad (though a bit small). However, this place score tons of points for the great and cozy atmosphere, it's absolutely worth repated visits.
The temple itself is not very interesting, but the grounds are beautiful and the adjoining park (Admission fee: 5 yuan) makes for a pleasant stroll or picknick in a quaint and somewhat forgotten corner of Kunming. I don't know if people are ever allowed into the pagoda;if so, it would make for a grand view of the city, and be worth one extra star. Definitely worth a visit. Note that the temple compund and the park is connected via an underpass just behind the park's west gate.
It's a pleasant little temple, but the local temple staff wants nothing but your money, and will try their best to get it through various semi-scams.
China considered Myanmar drone strike during manhunt
发布者the problem is, when one faction takes it upon themselves to drone strike against terrorists in spite of any national borders, agreements and/or affected civilians, another faction will naturally claim it as their god-given right to drone strike against drug lords/rebels/dissidents/civilians/whatever takes their fancy. This is something we will se more of in the future, as Russia and China gets the technology and confidence to emulate US behavior and violate their neighbors in a multitude of new and interesting ways; China is just getting started, there's much, much more to come.
Beijing green-lights Nu River dam
发布者I'm having a really tough time understanding why they don't just build a few nuclear plants instead of all these dams. Okay, sure, we know by now that chinese bureaucrats on all levels simply adore large scale brutalist architecture projects, but this is taking it a bit too far...
Chinese teens murder seven before arrests
发布者But repeat offenders are, like everybody else, a product of society. They should not be removed permanently from society, but be given help so that they might, in time, be allowed back into society and live peacefully and constructively within it. Society has a responsibility to take care even of this people, and killing them would mean the utter failure in this regard.
This I say coming from a country where hardly anyone can ever be incarcerated for more than two decades, and I do think that is very good.
Getting Away: Xishan
发布者does anybody know something about the "miniature stone forest" that can be reached from the walkways among the daoist temples? It is worth visiting?
