ok, i've tracked down some more info: www.kmoutdoor.org/new/ShowArticle.asp?ArticleID=215 (Chinese)
it seems to be the "2009 Red Bull Cup 20km Cross Country Running Mountain Competition" and takes place in a village known as Shuanglong (to the northeast of Kunming). i'll put another note here if i get around to translating more of the info.
i heard something about a half-marathon trail run on June 27th, but i've been unable to find out more. anyone got any more info on this?
i concur with Yuantongsi - if the company is legit (and your skills with the equipment are legit), they should be able to sort through the admin no problems. it's possible you'll need to leave the country, so factor this in time/costs-wise.
No results found.
no-one's reviewed this place for nearly 3 years! i think i know why: it's solid. a bit boring maybe, but they get the job done: food on the table in good time, attentive staff, wide selection of items. the 'Prague Breakfast' is a fine feed, still good value after the recent price increase.
i joined friends here on the weekend. they were getting food and playing a game. the pizzas looked great, but my friends advised me to avoid them, saying they tasted bland.
having made a selection, it took 20 minutes for the staff to tell me that my choice was no longer available. as my friends had nearly finished their game, we then all took our business elsewhere.
helpful advice:
- if someone arrives, give them a menu
- sort out the beer selection
- if i speak to you in Chinese, speak back to me in Chinese
i've recently rediscovered this place. it's a little hit and miss, but i have to say that with a little experimentation, you can find some quality food here. while not perfect, the vindaloo is the best i've had.
i first sampled the Silver Spoon burgers a few weeks back - not bad at all, though i was unconvinced that they were 1/2 pound. another visit yesterday, and this time i was persuaded... definitely a fat burger. i was very happy with my cheese and bacon burger. diners with large appetites, be warned - you'll need a side of something to make a meal - the burger is just a burger - no fries.
Celebrating a Miao Christmas in Yunnan
发布者"while praying they retain their own character and culture"
Their own culture? I think not. I think aspects of their own culture were supplanted by 'helpful' Christian missionaries.
On a less angry-about-how-Christianity-homogenised-the-world-with-the-aid-of-fairy-stories note, if teach => taught, why not preach => praught?

Getting away: Daju Town
发布者possible. go all the way through the gorge in one day, sleep in Daju. your cut off will be the ferry - so nail the operating times of that in advance. you might need your running shoes.
Kunming's new airport to open in late June
发布者i'm no expert photographer, but i was taught to keep my horizontals horizontal... that photo, presumably an official one, makes me feel like i'm already in a plane.
