You might want to actually call the Kunming taxi hotline since you will need to catch a cab very early and maybe not all the taxi drivers have been out to the new airport. I have not tried this hotline, and it says it starts in July.
I'm pretty sure your Huawei will work in China with multiple carriers. Almost every major carrior has 3g plans for usb dongle. I know I have seen tents selling electronics on yuantongbei lu. There they have one or two vendors with printouts of all the carriers and plans. Alternatively, you could walk into a China Unicomm store and just sign up there.
Couldn't you just walk to any of the four Starbucks in town or the many many cafes on Wenlinjie and just ask?
I like elong.com, but for China to international it's probably as good as expedia.com
qunar.com has good prices, but it's in Chinese and some tickets are difficult to buy
kayak.com and skyscanner.net are pretty good for any international
Uh when you dine alone at fine restaurants in the USA, they make a huge commotion of removing all the other silver ware and dining set at your table. I think that's a pretty unpleasant experience. Though as a single diner, you are ignored by the patrons, and staff sometimes.
Maybe the looks you get at a Chinese restaurant is because you are a foreigner and you just notice it more since you're alone and not talking to your buds.
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?
