I think Upland is the one close to Greenlake. If you're trying to book either Lost Garden or Upland during summer or holidays, you need to do so like a few weeks or even a month in advance for rooms.
Longest first post ever on GoK. Dunno what it said or what comments are all about, as I was blinded by text.
I went quite a while ago. Back then it was just two 5 stars and known as the Russian honeymoon destination. Also, got into a fight over a young pretty Russian girl, so yeah, memory is pretty skewed :)
I saw pretty young slim Russians when I went, but my memory is probably bit skewed.
So, I went to Google Finance, and I clicked a chart of the Shanghai Composite Index.
Guess what I discovered. It's still up +1535.95 points (72.22%) as of today's closing Tuesday July 28, 2015 for a one year time frame.
If you bought this index of Chinese stocks one year ago, fell into a coma, and just woke up today, you are still 72% richer than before.
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.
Kunming to Vietnam border by rail soon to be reality
发布者Our own forums have reports of the Hekou night bus being rife with thieves.
Given how China works, I bet you arrive at new Hekou West station that is 20km from town.
Kunming to Vietnam border by rail soon to be reality
发布者Depends on where the Hekou station is. Could be an hour from town/border. For instance, the Mengzi station is no where near town. Although much less thievery on a night train vs night bus.

发布者Wouldn't it be more of a win\win scenario if the farmers got pig feed and you fermented pig waste? Or does pig waste sell for even more?
