- Searching on GoKM is a nightmare, I will use google with the site:gokunming.com search modifier to get better results. Sort order should be Relevance/Date/word hits (do you use full text queries? I think you are MySQL right?). Search results page should be better laid out.
- Sort out the Events sidebar, its quite bad (I previously said my piece on this, you guys said you were thinking and implementing the same).
- The events page, shocker. Move the calendar to the middle section and stretch the words across the page.
- I think you are designed for 1024*768 and as of January this year that was 13% of people (Jan 2008 50%) on the web and dropping fast. Recommend increasing the page size and using wrapping for those on old resolutions.
- Better menus on your classified page (www.gokunming.com/en/classifieds/). Having more like the forums page would be better but recommend redesigning both.
- The first thing I do on my mobile is switch to full view. The mobile version is pants plain and simple. If you really want to do it right, invest in making an app for Android/iPhone, but this is a serious commitment if you aren't trained in making these already. If not, I wouldn't even worry about a mobile version anymore as screen resolutions are getting bigger and bandwidth is no longer a problem for your very lite site anyway.
- Align the Private Messages with the Profile heading in the dashboard... actually I could come up with a lot here... how deep should we go?

You could probably do Laos - Thailand - Myanmar - India, but a month wouldn't leave you much time in each place. I would probably just go to Myanmar and India if I was you (India is huge though you will probably only be able to see a small part).

The reasons are mainly around location - Russia is miles away and you probably should have gone there when you were in Beijing. Laos and Cambodia you can go to another time because they are so damn close and both are pretty small - one of the national holiday weeks you can head to each place and see pretty much everything that's interesting. Myanmar and India are relatively close too, both are pretty big though so would require a couple of weeks each for a nice explore and to get into the culture.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Is walking from Haigeng Park area to Xi Shan possible?

Will probably be moving to the south soon, in the north there is pretty good running along the river and up Chanchong Shan when it isn't closed. I figure there would be some cool tracks up Xi Shan to do some trail running... but can you run there across the bridge from Haigeng park area? Google earth/searching turns up nothing so not sure if its possible...

Any other good trail running in the south?

When I saw the preview for this I thought "This has a 90% chance of being unwatchable". Now that it's been sent back for re-editing by (likely) the Chinese government, I revise my estimate to 99%.

Think you will find the Wifi is local to the train (travelling with the train) and if implemented may or may not allow internet connections. Wifi is different to mobile internet (GPRS/2G/3G etc) laotou, conflating the two is inappropriate.

Theoretically they could provide local Wifi which is only local, but could connect to an on train server which allows movies to be watched through the server, much like a plane but each connected device becomes a screen like on the back of long haul flights.

If they were to also provide internet they would likely need to run another cable along the train line with some pretty high tech devices to detect the signal. Alternatively (easier) is to use the power line itself as a medium to also transfer data. On board internet though is difficult and expensive to set up/maintain, my guess is it will never happen.

I have been in a few bike and running races with Chinese people before, I know exactly what you mean about them not racing smart! Funny because they also have the rabbit/tortoise story as one of their common idioms...

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!
