Forums > Living in Kunming > Need Traditional Chinese Medicine Specialitst

On the north side of JinBiLu, about 300m west of Jinbi Square, on the next block to the new building with China Merchants bank, is the main TCM hospital. They also sell herbal ingredients in their shop.

The problem with any survey will be getting medical professionals to speak to you. Any patients at the hospital will no doubt swear that it has saved their life. That would be like going to KFC and asking people what they think about fast food restaurants.

Have I seen a guide? No gave up on that one. We have one of those boxes, f**kin nightmare. They are about as intuitive as a box of frogs. Nearly all of the films listed are samples. You can watch chunks, they usually have chunks totalling about 20-30% of the film.

I just watch a bit of local news, or CGTN for the international news that I read in online newspapers yesterday. Other than that, downloaded TV and movies for me.

Renting might be a problem. If you put out an APB (classified ad) with your height and sizes, someone might be able to lend you one, if you promise to dry clean it afterwards.
Something like
HELP! I need to borrow a suit for my wedding.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Suit Rental

Bring a suit with you. I have only ever seen morning suits (tails) and tux for rent in China, and that was in Shanghai. Rental was about the same as UK and for that money you can get a cheap suit made. Shoes can also be hit and miss, unless you have smaller feet. Anything bigger than UK8/US9/Eur42 and you are pushing your luck.
If you are already in China, get your suit made before you come to Kunming. I wouldn't leave it to chance on lead times, after you arrive.
Off the peg is not a cheap option in China, as it will be luxury brand item most likely, even if you can find something to buy.
If you are going to a standard Chinese wedding, check the dress code with your friend, a suit may not be required. Most of the weddings I have been to, only the groom and sometimes best man wore suits. Others smart casual, and others just casual. The wedding photos are usually done months in advance, so you don't need to worry about being smart for those.

Off topic, but related to theme songs. When we watched terrestrial TV we listened to the whole theme, even if only in the background while we quickly made a cup of tea or finished off some other chore. With streaming, or watching box sets, we quickly FF over the theme song and titles. We are missing a lot of great music.
Everything else said by the last two posters can be captured within the idea that we no longer live in a society, we live in a market.

This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
