I guess the idiom for China is ant instead of rat. Though ant race doesn't really translate. Hamster wheel metaphors probably don't work either.

@HFCAMPO. Is there a hotline for illegal English teaching?
"My wife and I both teach at home - One of the requirements for us to teach is that the student must take the PETS test every 6 months. This is agreed upon before we even begin the first lesson."
I recall lots of other threads where someone asks about teaching part time, and they were torn asunder by various users here. It usually followed the theme of how illegal teaching was destroying the English teaching profession in China. I see a lot of hypocrisy now.
Omg, I would shoot myself if I got stuck behind a Chinese tour group there. OK, that box has it's uses.
Humdinger is romantic on the soul trio night. Place dims and candlelight. Food is good, but American, and only the burger is beef.
I think there is a French style restaurant in the Intercontinental. I don't think hotel restaurants are romantic, no matter how fancy. If you have a room there, there then different story :)
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.
