It's far away from the city center, and the complex is gigantic. So be prepared to ask in Chinese what your looking for. It's too big to just wander around and find what you want, unless you have many days.
You can think of it this way:
Friends first, Sex second
or
Sex first, Friends second
Which one sounds more realistic?
Workers rush to eat dinner at 5pm. This is a sure sign the city shuts down before midnight.

I think asking in GoChengdoo about other areas is a good option. Also, Chengdu hostels have updated info on travel restricitons. My best guess is the western parts of Sichuan and Qinghai will be off limits for foreigners too (meaning no fine or blacklisting, but when spotted you get sent on a bus back to Chengdu). Some areas are like that currently I believe.
Great posts BillDan and tigertiger.
No results found.
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.

Wrongful murder conviction spawns US$1.45 million lawsuit
发布者Props to her lawyer for being able to secure a retrial and getting her exonerated. Also, I am impressed that the Yunnan High Court chose a 17 year old (at time) housekeeper from a poor background over local police and prosecutors. Too bad her civil suit has to go to the court that wrongly convicted her.
The original case would be over ten years old now. That's a lifetime ago at China pace. Very unlikely they kept DNA evidence and since they did an all out effort on her, probably very little other suspects questioned or witness statements.
