Beautiful light show on the westside. Like 15 to 20 huge streaks of lightning an hour. One was so strong I saw it leave pixels as it faded.

Let's put it this way, let's say you're hanging out with a group of college kids. They will all speak Kunminghua around you, unless you address one directly, but he or she will go right back to speaking Kunminghua with the others. And yes there will be students in that same setting that will reply to you in English even if you address them in Mandarin.
Local dialect is an issue studying in many tier 2 Chinese cities. No need to worry though, there are real opportunities for language exchange; however, you won't be improving your putonghua in Kunming by hearing it in your day to day life.
Anyone seen new large styrofoam ice box/chest for sale?
Usual suspects don't carry it. Metro, C4, Walmart. Fish market only had used ones for sale.
So I found a market that has one vegetable vendor selling fresh edamame (soybean) hummus. Only problem, it's really really far away.
Anyone seen fresh ground hummus made from soybeans or other beans for sale in local Kunming markets?
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.
