Forums > Living in Kunming > Missed Nobel Prize Winner

So I thanked GoK about a week ago for listing more events. Now I am face-palming myself. A Nobel Prize Winner gave a speech at YunDa. I only get to read about it after.

en.kunming.cn/index/content/2012-06/26/content_2997697.htm

I don't think GoK is responsible for posting every event at YunDa or Shifan Uni, but a Nobel Prize Winner giving a lecture here in Kunming!!! That should make it to the calendar right? Or was it invitation only? Or since it's science and not art, it doesn't qualify?

Forums > Living in Kunming > Water Rationing

@Ocean
I met a friend who lives on Xuefu experiencing low or no water. He pointed out he can still get hot water from his solar water/heated tank. I think that water tank (like any) just attempts to pump water all the time to keep the tank filled, so it's like a 24 hour bucket filler.

I think those systems aren't too expensive. You could even just get the water tank without the solar part if you don't care about hot water, but solar heated water is pretty nice. Probably could have an electric or solar pump added for an additional boost.

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.
