Forums > Living in Kunming > Clarity card / ATM

Yes tiger has got a good point, this even happened to me AFTER I had told them, the period in which they deem acceptable travel time had expired (about a year or some such), so they flagged a Chinese transaction as suspicious and froze my card. In my case it required reactivation in my home country, which was useless. Eventually I sorted it out over the phone only to have my card eaten by an ATM not connected to a bank branch while I was travelling in Hong Kong about 2 weeks later.

Carry a backup if you can :-)

Huh?

Most ATM cards with the Cirrus/Plus logos are accepted in China and Visa/Mastercards in most ATMs for cash advances. Are you talking about an individual banks card? If they are part of the cirrus/plus network (should be on back of the card), you shouldn't have any problems.

The location where I could view it from is (in Google Maps satellite view): 25.129922, 102.758324

Or clearer driving/cycling directions:
Head North of Beichen on Beijing Lu. After about 4 km, turn left onto Fengyuan Lu, cross the Pan Long and immediately turn right into a road that has lots of construction on its left. Up this road about 1km until it makes a sharp turn right and turns into muddy/gravel slush. You probably don't want to go further than this at the moment in a car unless you want to get bogged down.

Any plans to use the plants they scoop up for power generation and fertiliser?

They may not wish to use the plants as a fuel source though - creating an industry based on the stuff you want to eradicate e may mean you never eradicate it...

What do you do HFCAMPO that justifies your existence as a clearly well off foreigner in a relatively poor area of the world?

Your answer better include working with orphaned drug addicted lepers or you may just fall off your high horse.

And how do/did you make the money you have? It better not have been through the capitalist system you so despise...

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!
