Forums > Food & Drink > Vietnamese food The VietFrench fusion restaurant has opened bottom food court area of wangfujing. Like all Vietnamese places in fancy malls, expensive and half authentic. Tried the pho, soup was alright but they used really thick flat noodles. Place is clean and food tasty, and slightly more authentic than some others. They did have bun and spring rolls on menu in addition to pho in regards to street food items.

Yeah, the G7 sachets are good for instant and not Nestle ripoff pricing. In Vietnam they use two sachets for half a cup! Must admit, tasted even better. If you ever pass through Nanning, there is a G7 owned cafe.

In your case, letting off steam in a forum is good, and remember, pedestrian crossings are just suggestions; cars may or may not slow down. Red light, again, just a suggestion, not some kind of law or something.

It works like a charm. As soon as you think of rude behaviour as just going against a suggestion rather than some hard and true road law, you feel a 1000 times lighter, like some huge weight/pressure just suddenly vanished. So that 'One Way' sign is just a suggestion. Same, that road division for cars and bikes, just mere suggestions. See, you feel better already.

Kunming ranks fifth nationally in expat poll
发布者I've been to all of the above cities except Tianjin, and I can only reason the expats surveyed aren't all that well traveled... because there is no way Kunming ranks above Qingdao, Xiamen, and Hangzhou if you factor in "job opportunities, schools and administrative policies." Once again, the mythical allure of the spring city bumps it up.
