I'm going to Chengdu for the first time next month. Any good recommendations for hotels, restaurants/bars, things to do, etc.? Only there for a couple of days to do US consulate business. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks.

Cool, thanks for the info! Anybody know about tickets? Still haven't bought mine... Anyone know when jinshengyuan opens?

Just tried to call camel bar about tickets for tonight's show, but apparently they're flooded and the show has changed venues. They told me it would be in kundu but didn't know which bar. Anybody got any info? Would love to see them play again!

Is anyone aware of voting requirements for US citizens in the 2012 election? I was told that Americans had to process through the Chengdu consulate, but I'm not sure if I can go about that while still in Kunming, or if I have to go to Sichuan. Let me know if you know.
cheers~
