I can answer the rest...
The bystanders will watch you die. The EMS will help you, but then you'll die in traffic. If you become incapacitated in front of Salvadors you have a good chance, not so much if Moondog. Unlike the beers, you pay after for healthcare.
The thai docs might have included yunnan plant pollen in their "pollution" diagnosis. Last 4 to 5 months all kinds of plants have been blooming everywhere. Not too sure what you do about that since it's the same problem/hassle US sinus suffers go through.
Or as tigertiger said, sinus flushing can be effective. A more modern home method is this: www.amazon.com/[...]
Agree with seahorse62. I was outside at the time and felt nothing. Maybe a good thing as I live twenty floors high now.

Tall buildings are more dangerous, but they usually build them better as they are newer and the designers need to compensate against all the dangers related to height. It does takes a lot longer to get out of a high rise, especially if you have to go down twenty flights of stairs.
If you see the pictures of collapsed buildings from this quake, most are less than three stories. Probably because they don't bother with reinforced concrete or have rebar the thickness of a wire.
I'm not a fan of this idea, but the California has done the this and it got rich. So, Americans at least, probably have little moral say in this matter.
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.
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.
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.
