Forums > Living in Kunming > US Consulate Visit to Kunming I think the website is for making an appointment in Chengdu. For Kunming I believe you have to email them:
A consular officer from the United States Consulate in Chengdu will be in Kunming, and will be able to provide limited consular services, on Friday, June 22, 2012. There are a limited number of appointment slots for this visit. You must email AmCitChengdu@state.gov; please include your full name and what service you require.

So now the official story has changed from female to male. Meh, I don't know why I bother to read the news anymore.
Starbucks to market Yunnan coffee in China outlets
发布者Huh? How is Yunnan distinctive from rural areas in any other country with a centrally controlled economic system(which is pretty much any "modern and developed" country today)? How is The Brother's Jiang expanding everywhere in Yunnan different from Starbucks trying to expand in Yunnan?
Do you think Iowa has lost its distinctness because of all the Mexican and Chinese restaurants that have opened up? Oh wait, even though they almost all serve the same food, and their suppliers are almost all the same... it's so much better because they all have a different name... cripes, it's just marketing.
You can go to any city in Yunnan and you will see the same products being sold in all of them. What does it matter if the name of the store is in Chinese or in English? Does this somehow prevent you from speaking to the people who work there? Does it stop you from taking your time? It's just a marketing symbol, get over it.
