Forums > Living in Kunming > Kunming FRAUD It's a fraud. Follow the advice of others and do not engage. Otherwise, in a few months you'll be posting in this thread again about how you were told to buy a few thousand euros of cigarettes and liquor to secure a contract from a company that disappeared. Seems they really like targeting small Italian architecture and design firms. Why is that? Because of past success? Are Italians far too trusting in biz? Or are Italian small companies desperate for business?
Forums > Living in Kunming > WPS and the Cloud If you can open them as read only, then a simple solution would be to copy and paste your work into a new different word processing program and save it there. There is plenty of freeware out there, like openoffice for example. It's possible another progRam could just open and work with your wps files also. I think OpenOffice is capable of that. I'd suggest backing up your current and future work on a separate drive, so if you're program misbehaves again, you'll have your files in a not messed with condition elsewhere.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Metro to Kunming Train Station exit inside As far as I can tell, taking the metro to the train station doesn't actually allow you to exit inside the station or even just outside of it.
So, has anyone done a metro trip to the Kunming Main train Station. If so, where do you actually come out and how long is the walk after?

Kunming Fair again sets records
发布者This is becoming a major draw for locals, nearing the crowds of the auto fair. Traffic around the area was a nightmare though. Also, this fair was open to public (ticket 30rmb).

That is if you are lucky and the guard station is off eating lunch or break. Or you can show up at night. Last time I went through on the east entrance, the guards chased me down in a minivan and demanded I pay the 50rmb (now 65) entrance ticket, even though I was just planning on passing through.
No guards care if you are leaving TGL at either entrance, but if you weren't checked entering, then that's good luck.

发布者Yet another 15rmb increase. Though Tiger Leaping is one of the fees I think is well worth it.
The scenery on the East Ring that Geogramatt mentioned is wonderful. You'll need raingear cause your riding with the clouds at one point. Bit spartan on services, so bring some energy bars and extra bottle of water. If your in good shape, you can make the halfway point of 白水台 in a day by bike.
