So two other recent threads has me to asking the following:
Has anyone seen public instances of smoking, drinking, spitting, or peeing inside the proper areas of a temple? I mean inside the temple complex but not in some obscure corner or on the stairs right outside of.
Maybe if you try to tell her and her brother, you now will have to return to China and make all these inquiries to the PSB and police about her and possibly their family. This could provide some motivation. I really doubt it as Chinese don't do anything till you show up in person and make demands. I'd start getting your visa documents ready and look for cheap airfares. Also, as others have mentioned there is the possibility she hasn't filed, so be prepared for that. Let us know how it works out.
add India to the grope list.
You don't really miss Waldo. It's just fun to point him out.
This is China. You can just have it printed out and bound.
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.

Raccoon missing, feared kidnapped
发布者Dian Dian is not a hat, soup, or stir fry. In China a raccoon looks like a cute exotic dog sized panda. She is probably dressed in bling and sitting in the back of an Audi.
Raccoon missing, feared kidnapped
发布者Kidnapped makes a good headline, but they are really smart and viscious critters and if she was forced to flee or wanted to flee, that's what happened. Also, forcing a raccoon to do something against its will...well just take a look at the picture eating a biscuit...and that's when it's friendly.
