But if you use the cheapest option, expect it to take a random amount of time starting from 6 weeks to...well sometimes it doesn't make it.
HK is a more reliable place to mail stuff from. Keep it in mind if you should be headed that way.
Also, you might want to check eBay or whatever shopping site your home country uses. Some stuff may not be worth shipping if you can just reorder there. I know in the USA, eBay sells lots of stuff from China, mostly electronics.

Tell your wife to stop being such a shrew! For shrew in Chinese, please use the Jin Shan Ci Ba, Chinese-English Dictionary, the third edition published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press in January, 2010.
Yang Rui turning to Chinese dictionaries, hahahaha. He has more in common with foreigners than he thinks.
"The more serious part of the accusations against me is the mischaracterization of what I said in Chinese; "Po Fu" if you look it up on Jin Shan Ci Ba, one of the most popular Chinese translation sites, and A Chinese-English Dictionary, the third edition published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press in January, 2010, means "shrew."
So when Yang Rui's wife is being troublesome, he no doubt tells her to stop being such a 泼妇 :)
Looks like the mountains weren't high enough for Chengdu...the emperor is coming.
"Chengdu, the largest sub-provincial metropolis and provincial capital of Sichuan, said it will launch a similar plan by the end of this year, Wang Lin, deputy director of Chengdu exit and entry administration bureau, confirmed."
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.
