@pengland. Don't worry about it. If you post another link with or without a title, I'm going to read it, as you've been giving out really useful English high-speed rail news updates for most of your posts. I appreciate your efforts, please keep posting them regardless what others say and thx again.
Yeah, I was thinking the article must of got it wrong on the just starting aspect. Lots of rough terrain from dali to lijiang. Still doubt the scheduled opening time, as the terrain of Yunnan has delayed every rail project so far. But still, glad high speed rail is a thing for Kunming.
Well I clicked it, wasn't too hard and quite useful, thx. High speed rail kunming to lijiang by the end of this year projected, though that maybe ambitious if they are just beginning construction.
Not sure by what you mean by used to. My friend in Beijing still says the practice is quite common still for international conferences and sometimes for October, depending on the mood. Also, there is no clean replacement for the nearby steel, cement, and coal fired plants in surrounding Hebei, except to order outright closures, which they did quite a bit of at the start of this year. But going forward air quality should continue to improve with exceptional days being even more exceptional like 20api, but there are still going to be 800 API days for Beijing, thanks to its hit or miss winds either blowing clear pollution, not blowing, or blowing in a dust storm.
Well you can ask to have your daily limit upped, but that's about it. BoA is not going to waive any fees you are due unless your account level is entitled to it, but no account, even VIP, avoids the 3% fx fee now.
Most of the brokerages and banks that do offer free international ATM withdrawals do so because they don't operate their own network or are network consortium members. It's just easier for them to pay the fees or refund them for their customers in order to offer a viable ATM product.
Just be careful of Amex. If they offer a card or product with no international withdrawal or fx fees, it's still no good. They just bury all the fees in the extremely poor exchange rate they give.
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.
Scientists "99 percent" certain SARS originated in Yunnan bats
发布者Uh, how do they know there aren't populations of this or other bats in guizhou, guangxi, guangdong, or hunan that harbor a bat precursor of the human sars virus? Plenty of caves and bats in all of those other provinces. Also, 1% uncertainty is a total failure to explain the transmission mechanism of sars from Yunnan bats to humans? That's a very generous 1%.
Counting down Kunming's Top Ten Smells
发布者Hotpot honorable mention.!?!? You can still smell hotpot on you and your clothes for hours after.
Findings: Yunnan possibly once ruled by giant predatory otters
发布者50 KILOS! WTF!
Belt and Road pushing Yunnan companies international
发布者Too late for Angkor. Already consumed. Siem Riep never had much character before all the 5 stars showed up, so an even greater influx won't ruin the town. Of course, if a new airport means low cost carriers can fly there too, I'm all for it, after all, I just want a cheap seat!
Update: Kunming Metro Line 3 open as of August 29
发布者Fyi, Baiyun lu around Beijing lu no longer exists, for cars anyways.
