Buy a cheap netbook if money is your main concern. It will be heavier than a tablet and so will it's power brick and cable. Make sure you don't get stuck with a power cable requiring a grounded 3 prong. If you're hauling your kit around a lot even an extra 1.5 lbs begins to suck. But the netbook will do everything you require. If you buy a used netbook, good chance you will require a new battery to achieve 3-4 hours.

However, an ipad/mini or asus tablet (google nexus are made by asus too) either with bluetooth keyboard is the real way to go as many have posted prior. But that costs significantly more.

"I have a Bank of America account in the US and heard that wires to CCB are free. Is that still true?"

Wires are not free between the two banks, but as someone mentioned you won't be charged a fee when you use your Bank of America card at CCB atm or crs machine. However, I noticed it's dropped to 1000rmb per withdrawal now, but you can just keep requesting 1000rmb till you hit some other kind of limit.

CCB is almost everywhere in China, except very rural one road towns.

It's a bit different than owning a bike. You don't need to worry about parking, storage, or maintenance. You don't worry about it being stolen as long as after you lock it, it's not your responsibility anymore. If Mobike, does say collapse overnight, then yes, your probably out your 299, but same goes for a gym membership or restaurant prepaid via card. Also, 299 doesn't buy a very good bike.

Star-Lord: Really? Well, on my planet, we have a legend about people like you. It's called Footloose. And in it, a great hero, named Kevin Bacon, teaches an entire city full of people with sticks up their butts that, dancing, well, is the greatest thing there is.

Never gotten sick once at Sals. Their food is TexMex, so yeah, not authentic Mexican food, but pretty authentic as TexMex goes. Burrito wrap has improved a lot. Like the draft beer option now.

If you haven't had dairy products in a while, and do eat here, best forgo the sour cream. Nothing wrong with it, in fact it's the best sour cream in Kunming, but if you've eaten Chinese for month or months with no dairy intake, your system will react to sour cream or probably any liquid dairy product not so well. Maybe that's what happened with nailer and tallamerican.

Update:

It's now 5 working days for regular processing. So I submitted my application a bit before 5pm on a Friday and was told to pick it up next week Friday after 5pm.

Cost is now 400rmb for a single 30 day entry. Or that was what I was charged anyways. There are no posted prices and its cash only with no receipt except for your passport pickup. That's like $65 USD.

You can pay another 150rmb for 2 day or 100rmb for 3 day processing. For 400rmb, they should process it in three days like they used to before, but now you'd pay 500rmb. The office is still like deserted most of the time, so why does it take longer now and cost extra. If you opted for 2 day, thats like $90 usd. All other neighboring countries charge like $25usd.

The rest of and cope review is still good for hours and location.

Far out, less people. Big enough to get lost in. Pretty and quiet near dusk. 20yuan entrance fee.

Like everyone else says, best Indian food in Kunming. They have lunch plates and dinner plates. Show up before 1pm for lunch.

They are on the 4th floor of the half empty shopping mall. Best way is too take the elevator past the KFC around the corner from Starbucks.

Most individual dishes can feed only two hungry guys, so order more if you are starving. Naan order can take care of one only.

Five stars for the food. Go with Yereth's recommendations, plus any vegetable the waitress says is fresh.

Beware that Xue Fu lu is one way, so many taxis have to take a roundabout way to get here.
