Went to Greenery Cafe the other day and they told us to order our food on we chat. We told them to give us a paper and pencil - Haha! I dont think I will be going there any more.
I dont know about others but it takes me longer to send a text message then it does for me to call and make my point and move on. Some people have sent me messages that are so long that it comes out on 2 seperate messages. Anyone who knows me knows they must call me on the phone because I do NOT read messages. I just delete them at the end of the week along with the 10 other china mobile messages I get.
People tell me it is cheaper to send a message then it is to call and I ask them how cheap can they be that they can not make a 15 sec call - But they have a 3000 RMB phone - I don't get it - Haha!
As a matter of fact, I just purchased my 3rd cell phone here in China. The other 2 were perfectly fine but the battery ran out and I could no longer get replacements. The grand total for my 3rd phone was 399 RMB. The requirement for my new phone was big keys and the same recharger as my previous 2 phones.
I see people spending 2,3,4,5000+ RMB on phones I ask myself what for?
Used to be people hated the big (Bricks) cell phones that first came out. In time they got smaller and smaller - so small my fingers could not use any of the keys. I felt like the Rockman on the Fantastic 4 Movie hitting 3 keys at the same time. Now the phones are getting bigger again because most people want a bigger screen.
MSN or Yahoo, dont know which was first. But was asked to join so can chat with so-called freinds, Then came Likeden, Facebook, Twitter and a whole bunch of others. Came to China then it was QQ. Now you tell people you use QQ and they look at you like a dinosaur. I guess people have profiles and pictures in at least 5 of these things. Can't delete any of them even if you try.
Here goes. Forgive my ignorance - but what is the purpose or benefits of Wechat? Serious question but I am certain I will be laughed out of the ballpark.
Hoekie I have a few questions.
- Have you been to China before? Where? When?
- Do you know where you will be working? Where?
- What age is your daughter? Grade?
Rule of thumb is to find a place less than 1 hour travelling distance from where you work and where your kids go to school. These 2 factors should narrow the area you are looking for.
The purpose of a real estate agent is so they can earn 1 months rent when they lease you an apartment. They are NOT interested in getting you what you want - they just want to make their commission. As was mentioned earlier, you only get an agent when you know exactly the 2 km area you are looking for.
Public transportation is very good in Kunming but the traffic problems will be your greatest obstacle.
Does anyone have specific directions on how to visit this dam? Where exactly is it? I see a lookout point in the picture so I assume visitors can come.
The video is very informative but does NOT specifically tell you where these locations are located. The entrance ticket to SHI LIN (Stone Forest) is 175 Yuan. I prefer to buy an annual ticket for 200 Yuan and I can use it at any time during the year. Bring your passport and you can purchase an annual ticket which includes entrance to the MAJOR stone Forest, MINOR stone Forest, BU SHAO SHAN, LI ZI YUAN QING, WAN NIAN LING ZHI, and NAIGU stone Forest (Black Stone Forest).
Most of the footage on the video is of the Black Stone Forest. Few people know about it so each time I go, there are very few visitors, less than 5 people. This location has been completely renovated but it lacks many basics. However, There is NOWHERE to purchase any food or water anywhere in the entire park.
Another location seen in the Video is DA DIE SHUI Waterfall. This USED TO BE included in the price of the entrance ticket more than 1 year ago but it no longer is considered part of the Stone Forest. Presently, the waterfall scenic area is under renovation. The Waterfall is located more then 30 km away from the main park. 2 years ago, you can purchase tickets for the waterfall ONLY for 18 Yuan but I have no idea what the price will be after the renovation is complete.

I ASSUME that the writers and staff of GOKUNMING write these articles in an effort to inform the reader of an event or location of some significance in and around Kunming.
I find many of these articles lacking in vital information. In an attempt to be CREATIVE, the writers fail in being INFORMATIVE.
For example, the writers mentions Jiexiao Xiang many, many times but fails to tell the reader where this place is. Is it somewhere in Yunnan? Is it in Kunming? There are 5 districts in Kunming - is it in Pan long District? Or is it in one of the other 4 districts? Is there a major crossroad where this small alley can be found. Perhaps near Beijing Road or Guangfu Road.
I enjoy travelling and seeing new places and I research many of the places I visit. But I really would like to read an article here and NOT be left with MORE questions than when I started.
I ask the staff of GOKunming to please be more specific when writing about places to visit and give SPECIFIC directions such as name of town or village and county and prefecture when writing. Thank you.
The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.
