More people will get on at Kunming than Kunming South, so they need to allow plenty of time for the passengers to all get on the train. I agree that 32mins is excessive though, 15mins is plenty.
sounds possibly fake. The hospital where the baby was born should print the birth certificate.
Beanstalks International Bilingual School 'BIBS' is a school in Cheng Gong, the new area about 20km south of old Kunming. They are a new branch of a Beijing school I think. They have a kindergarten and primary school, separate but very close to each other. I believe that they do the IB curriculum. The kids are nearly all Chinese, but can speak some English. There is also another very similar school in Cheng Gong, I can't remember it's name, but I know somebody who works there, so can find out if you like.
How's the pizza at Caleb's?
that's cos the wet season starts in May Dazzer.
No results found.
a very pleasant park with a tall pagoda you can climb and take photos of the city if you wish. Roses in summer, blossom in spring, nice lawn to sit on, bbq areas.
Recently the food seems to be better. Decent steak at a decent price, decent pizza, some decent wine, and the music is more suitable these days (Rammenstein wasn't the right mood music for Cantina)!
Had lunch - grilled chicken on top of mashed cuttlefish and a salad. The chicken was tasty and well cooked, and there was plenty of meat/fish to fill up even a hungry person. The salad was overdressed and nothing special - I won't order one next time. The service is a decent imitation of what you might find in the west. A large menu of food and drink. A nice civilised place to go for food or drink, but some of the dishes (i.e. the steaks) are very pricey. You could easily spend 300rmb+ per person here. Equally, it is possible to have lunch for under 60rmb per person (as we did). Warning - the bottle of water on each table costs an eye watering 48rmb! Don't be a sucker by opening it!
Went for a spot of lunch. Best pizza I've had in Kunming by some distance. In fact, one of the best pizzas I've ever had - quality ingredients, thin base, cooked to perfection. Sashimi salmon tasted very fresh and was well presented. The drinks are expensive, and one of the waiters was letting the side down by being a bit scruffy and impolite (hence not 5 stars), but definitely go and try the pizza.
Not bad. Pizza base was a little thick for my taste. Great selection of craft beers in the fridge, a few beers on tap, and well priced mixed drinks and cocktails. Staff were pleasant. A 14" pizza is the perfect size for two people, and very reasonably priced at 45-70RMB. Beware that the English menu, whilst written in perfect English, is not necessarily accurate. I ordered the 'local one' pizza expecting pepperoni and mango but got neither. The waitress explained that was a mistake on the menu. Would be nice if the menu corresponded with what you get on the plate! Hopefully this will get sorted.

I think if you dish out brain contusions and broken ribs rather than noodles in clean bowls, you should be severely punished. At least 6 months jail for everyone involved in the beating, plus the 68k to pay the medical bills and loss of earnings for the beatees. Or if the victim prefers, they could have 12 free hits at each of the perps.
