Are they checking baggage allowance and weight at the high speed stations? Like is it ok for one person to have two large heavy suitcases?

Anyone have knowledge of how much an extra suitcase of 20kg costs to check in with domestic airlines?
Buying usd is probably option 1. But still didnt want to have to carry it around on the whole return itinerary. Also, haven't changed yuan into usd, so wasnt sure if there were still limits like daily or max. I'll probably just start asking every bank I pass after I get my 1st shot. Most likely I'll end up at the main BOC on remin rd at the end of my inquiries.
Anyone with recent experience in changing yuan into foreign exchange, in my case USD. I've got like 10k yuan I no longer need to pay rent with. Looking for ways to change it into USD or transfer to my US checking account.
@sunjiangyu
Excellent post, thanks. Also, I think that first paragraph describes me or is my doing haha. I visited, spoke to, and called so many places and doctors after I missed that first shot.
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.

Yunnan Baiyao sued over toxic ingredients
发布者eblair obviously is a blind zealot regarding chinese traditional medicine. He or she has come to the enraged defense of aconite having totally ignored the that:
1) The lawsuit in the article has yet to be determined in favor or against the Yunnan Baiyao
2) eblair obviously didn't bother to click on the links in the article to discover that Yunnan Baiyao's mainly under attack for faulty seals in Sichuan and not listing aconite as an ingredient in HK. I don't think anyone can argue that faulty seals and mislabeling are not egregious.
Scally presented an informative article. I agree eblair is just pissed off.
