@Yuantongsi. Alien. No negative consequences for the selfish one agreed. Some ebike driver just greedily cut me off with 6 seconds left on my green. I braked hard and didn't touch him or his ebike with two to four inches to spare. In the process I flipped over, then dragged myself limply from the middle of the road to the curb. The other cars where nice enough not to drive around me when they got the green. As for the ebike driver, he just watched nearby to see if I would be able to pursue him. Then took off to finish his day. My day of cycling was lost and spent the next week recovering at home. No consequences for him; some consequences for me. But since this is China and he was in front of me, even after running his red, guess I'm in the wrong, since it's their culture to run reds. I didn't "succeed" in this case.

I wouldn't bet on 50gbp or 70usd anymore, unless you have a really nice national carrier. But even 100usd is worth it if you fully load it to 20kg limit with stuff you really like or gifts, because it does arrive with you. As suggested you need to do it before you fly, but nowadays even with prepaid, you could get a sticker shock of 200usd depending on flight and airline. Finally, check out what suitcase sets are selling for on Amazon and see if it's worth it just to keep a third suitcase around.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Shipping Computer from China to the US

Laptops are cheap on sale, in the US anyways. I've got a cheap one doubling as gaming and media center. Or as suggested just pull your drives.

Or try a different China post and pack the computer disassembled and...

1) Point out there is no battery.
2) Tell them they're sample parts or it's broken and needs repairs at home. Story depends on your visa.
3) If you get trouble about the hard drives, just take those with you. They travel well.

@Yuantongsi. I haven't tried this place yet, but it looks alright. I should add the reminder that since it's Kunming, keep expectations low.

So across from KIA on Guangfu lu, another brand new shopping center has opened (this makes the fourth in a year). It has a Carrefour and probably the most variety of dining options of the malls I have explored. I think on the fourth floor above the C4 is the dimsum restaurant. There should be another one or two HK/Cantonese restaurants.

Most airports in China have the last shuttle bus depart when the last flight arrives. Whether they do this as a courtesy or it's a rule of law, I don't know. But it's very comforting.

The 28rmb salad bar buffet is the best meal to be had in Kunming for that price. Killer onion rings as part of that salad bar! Starts at 5pm Mon-Sat. They don't restock a dish if it runs out, but it's rarely an issue because there are so many others and no dish runs out unless you show up past 7'ish on a fri or sat.

Their steaks are Chinese steaks, and not a Western level of cut of meat, but the Korean dishes are excellent.

The only reason it's 4 and not 5 stars, is I live far away, and maybe the quality of the steak. Of course it was only 50rmb for a steak, potatoes, and a salad bar buffet included.

Oh yes, the staff are really nice, but it's not fine dining, so they don't rush to take your order or bring out water. The place is more relaxed, so give'em a hollar or just grab a menu and some silverware yourself.
