I have used c-trip several times for in china flights with great price and used e-tickets. Their International flights are not competitive however. I need to go back to usa sometime in late spring and wonder if anyone else has noticed prices are already very high.
Emails i get from my vpn provider is censors are countering all their actions to restore service very quickly and do not offer much encouragement for future change. They made changes last weekend and service was good for 2 days and then monday hit and service was gone again.
@dream maker, you really should read the rules for posting on gokunming forums.
@Jasmine & dream maker, hundreds of english speaking expats living in Yunnan daily read these forums, and i cannot speak for everyone, but personally you have done much to damage the reputation of agents locally in my mind. I was thinking of trying to work as an extra as i thought it could be interesting and fun but you have killed that desire.
Having lived in 4 other chinese cities which had absolutely no expat information available i really appreciate this site, especially when you consider it cost us nothing.

Great western dinner at a reasonable price. The salad bar is a wonderful bonus if you order a dinner meal. I like to get their early just after 5, then salad bar is especially fresh and full of all the selections. Staff are my favorite in Kunming. They are friendly and attentive, but not over bearing. Give you menu and then give you time to make a selection.
Recently i wrote a review that after eating beef burritos at Salvadors i ended up with a bad stomach ache and the last time a case of severe diarrhea. It was commented later that maybe the sour cream was a factor, and that may be true. My only dairy is milk in my coffee and i have noticed i sometimes end up with a stomach ache after drinking 2-3 cups in the morning. I make my own sour cream for tacos i make at home and will have to pay more attention to how that affects me in the future.
Metro has many things i cannot find other places, but i still find it a frustrating place to shop sometimes. Seem to frequently be out of things. For example their was very little fresh meat to choose from and actually they were out of many things and i was their just after lunch. They had no loaves of toasting bread and could not tell my wife when they would be getting more in. In looking at the fresh date on Hormel ham it had expired in September. However for first time i was able to shop all the aisles. Not filled with merchandise to be stocked or fork lifts.
To all those expecting an authentic Irish Pub come on we are after all living in China. I have eaten there several times and the burger is still the best in Kunming in my opinion. Staff is friendly and attentive to your needs. Place is not perfect but what is in CHina. Owners have been wonderful in opening up early for special events like the US Super Bowl.
Went for Pizza special tonight. Had the Barbeque chicken and it was very good. Also enjoyed an exceptionally large order of French Fries. Everything was good tonight and owners where not there.
Kunming to put 45,000 public use bikes on roads
发布者Saw 2 Mobikes on the bottom of the Panlong river today. Were thrown off the bridge by the Waterfalls park. Had the bright orange rims. People are already dumping them in the middle of the sidewalks.
Yunnan to spend 500 billion on roads
发布者Did they run out of money or did some one run out with the money.
Around Town: Kunming Waterfall Park
发布者If you like walking, best way to get to falls is just walking on very nice new parkway along the Panlong River. Just do not go on weekends or holidays. Also i went one evening for a walk thinking the falls would have lighting and it was dark. Sign 2 weeks ago gave hours for viewing falls from 9-5.
China initiates enormous Yangtze water diversion scheme
发布者Just wonder what types of pollution are hidden in the lake bed which might be dragged to other parts of Yunnan. Hopefully are not going to compound the problems.
Report: Chinese cities falling far short of air pollution standards
发布者I find the average of 35 to be an amazing figure. I do not think in all the times i have checked the readings for Kunming i ever saw a reading close to that low let alone to be the average.
