Kunming isn't drab. Plenty of planted trees and flowers. But they did start their Yunnan trip North to South, so yeah, Kunming is another concrete jungle compared to Shangrila. Pair of 3 day transit tourists like most of the other backpackers or couchsurfers.
Cause for the 5rmb (in a bar) it costs more than a Tsingdao, it's well worth it. Is it as good as a belgium tripel, well no. If you didn't like the blond Beer Lao you had, then try the dark, or vice versa.
Wow, invites just for tourist visa. Return ticket I understand as many countries have that requirement, but invite harkens back to the closed China days
That's pretty lame. No info on the visa itself. If they are going to waste a whole passport page, at least make it useful. Luckily, HK is a safe place to end up, just in case it's not multiple.
I don't think they have programs like in the USA to uptrade. But old iphones sell fairly well, even broken ones as they can be fixed easily. So sell it and spend the money for a new or used 4s.
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.

发布者Sounds interesting given the West on East and vice versa. Hopefully it won't just all be landscapes but with mixes of city/town life.
