Forums > Living in Kunming > extending period of multi-entry visa That's pretty much impossible. But if you can pull it off, please report back. Who knows, maybe your extenuating circumstances will get a sympathetic ear. Free to ask them at the office anyways, but explain clearly as it's most likely a very infrequent request
Forums > Travel Yunnan > Where s Dwarf empire You can bike out there. Pleasant ride if you go through the villages and just one hill to climb. But by bike it does take a while, so have an open day.

Forums > Living in Kunming > extending period of multi-entry visa If you get an in country extension, you will most likely have your 90 day multiple replaced and cancelled by a new single 30 day extension, which cannot be renewed.
As for visa runs, you could always fly to Bangkok roundtrip same day or Shenzhen and use a land crossing for HK. Shenzhen has a 24 hour land crossing also.

Getting Away: Vang Vieng
发布者Regarding the roads, my impression was the opposite. I left Vientiane for VV via bus and found the road ok. From VV to Luang Prabang the road was quite miserable.
Nothing better than floating down the river with some of your friends; however, avoid the bar with the giant concrete slide. A Swiss guy drowned last year after using the slide, and it's cause innumerable other injuries to party-goers. Also, the tube doesn't make up for not being a good swimmer.
Safety concerns plague national school lunch program
发布者Very happy that poor kids are getting a free meal at school...Very sad they are forced to eat spoiled food at times.
I think the children should be given 3rmb food vouchers to be spent with the local chefs and vendors outside the school. No more troubles for the schools to operate a kitchen, and the children can decide with their pocketbook (aka vouchers) which vendors food tastes best. If no food vendors can make decent food for 3rmb per child, then the gov't knows why the schools are forced to use rotten stuff at times.

发布者Has The Balcony Guesthouse opened for business? Would be very curious if there was an update to the article, which was excellent reading.
