Portugal got smashed! But I believe they will pick themselves up and soldier on through to the final. Still reckon Brazil-Portugal final :-p
But man they played poorly. That defence was shocking. Half the time they looked like they were standing around with their hands in their pockets. But that red card was just silly, jeez ref, what were you thinking?
Oh, the sign outside might be in Chinese "Ji wei ka fei" or something according to my wifey. They also had some tom yum soup there which was quite good too.
I must be getting old, I can only remember eating tom yum soup and pizza there... I am sure I didn't have these together! They have upstairs/downstairs dining and their menu is both English and Chinese.
Uhh, I think its called "Kiwi Cafe", when you turn the corner away from KIA so you are standing in front of WB South's entrance, then just walk down the road about another 20m. Its in the same block of shops on the end. Their pizza is pretty good value and pretty tasty, the Chef and owner is a Chinese guy trained in NZ by the look of the qualifications posted inside.
Surely others must know about this place, I didn't just dream it did I? Its not in the listings yet, Yereth asked me to get some info next time I go, but if anyone gets there first and can confirm the name, opening hours and maybe some pics, email Yereth with the info (through the Contact Us page) and he will list it.
Wow, just went to gochengdoo.com (thanks Alex) and they have a REVIEWS section! If only GoKM's would come out (apparently been in testing since what... March??? 3 months of testing seems perfectly fine (????)).
(I have never been to McDonalds or any of those crappy food places, except KFC because a friend really wanted to go, so it will be interesting reading!)
Do it mm, write it up in your blog and compare it to a greasy mi xian! That will be interesting reading, Chinese junk food vs western junk food in China!
No results found.
So fast, so convenient. One star off for opening before the train station stop is connected!
Wow, just wow. Possibly the best Chinese food I have had in Kunming. And in one of the nicest, traditional courtyard style restaurant I have been in. A woman dressed in traditional qi pao playing a gu zheng just adds to it.
We had okra, mushroom soup, dried beef and chou dofu. All top notch with the bill coming in at just over 250 kuai. But we could have fed 3 people for that so not too bad at about 80-90 kuai each. Not the cheapest but for the quality, it's damn good.
If you have people visiting and want to take them to a traditional Chinese style restaurant with Yunnan style food, or want a romantic night out with a gal, you can't go wrong here. Close to Green Lake (down a little alley) for a romantic walk... Just perfect.
Pretty good place for getting all your documents translated and/or notarised. Note that there are a number of notaries in the building which you can find by going up the stairs (the elevators are impossible). But you have to find the stairs to do so... go in the door, head over to the right, go up the big wide stairs which head up a floor, turn right then right again into the elevator area and right again into the stairwells. Whew!
One point off for the elevators never being available and having to hike 7-9 flights of stairs (not good if you have to go 3-4 times a day like I often did!)
This does not stop at the Jinanya hotel at Da Shang Hui as the flyers state (and is on the images tab here). They need to have another stop in the same area or else they are missing out on covering a big chunk of the city.
You can take another bus, the 919C, I believe, if you are nearby Da Shang Hui, which leaves from the bus station on HeHong Lu, nearby the Qianxing road intersection. This bus goes every hour and is white, found at the western end of the station. It is operated by a different company and takes about 1 hour 10 minutes to get to the airport due to a large number of stops especially near the airport.
Great bus though if you can catch it!
Friendly people, even got to the talk to the vice consulate, who told me she had done a stint in Malaysia's Siberian Consulate!
English is spoken by some of the Chinese girls working at the desk who are pleasant to deal with. I assume they do Visa's as well but I wasn't here for a visa, this time!
Raccoon missing, feared kidnapped
发布者Seriously, has any of the American's tried Raccoon soup (or know someone that has?). I am sure it has been done!
Raccoon missing, feared kidnapped
发布者I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a Chinese person walking around with a hat that looked strangely like a raccoon this coming winter! Raccoon soup?
New taxi placards target 'civility'
发布者They made a law banning inconvenient shift change times and didn't enforce it, unsurprisingly it didn't make any difference.
Now they are making hazy recommendations and new signs, which of course won't be enforced again. Gee I wonder what the result will be?
Xingyi: Guizhou's peaceful Karst paradise
发布者Awesome report!
That bridge made me think of what other high bridges there are so looked it up on wikipedia:

Amazing how much representation China has on the list!
China's coal industry facing monstrous downturn
发布者200 million tonnes! What I want to know is - how much do they lose each year in run off from rain/wind? You can bet that their are hundreds of massive piles of coal like in the first picture, just imagine the damage to the local ecosystems/ground water after a rain storm! And we wonder why we have heavy metals in our water supply!
