Add to the Except list.

Trucks with 300 decibel horns...all trucks in general.

Buses that must burn coal for fuel given the black choking cloud they give off.

E-bike alarms...maybe just all e-bikes period.

I think a HSBC joint USD rmb account would let you move between the two easily. Some caveats. You might have to open or already have opened a HSBC account in the US. Also, you might be subject to limits rmb wise and fees if you aren't an advanced or premier account. You could ask details at the HSBC branch here.

Nice story. Particularly this section and quote.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of letters were burned by Wang during the Cultural Revolution as her husband was denounced for aiding the United States military during World War II. However, the couple's son, Cao Pangpei, told CNN the meaning of the letters is not lost...

"My parents are 98 this year. Nowadays, they can barely remember many things [from] their lives, but they can recite the love poems they wrote to each other during wartime."

Nice scenery outside. Bit cold inside in the morning, so bring a jacket. Seems they sell box lunches inside and have a few restaurants outside the halls. Yunnan was indeed well represented. Enough English for general perusal but most of the brochures and details are in Chinese. There was also a RV and tent section, along with usual dried goods/tea/jewelry shopping.

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.
