There is about 85 kids signed up to trick-or-treat at Hu Pan Zhi Meng Xiaoqu on Friday. It starts at 6:30 at Kunming International Academy. Children will be trick-or-treating at the homes of expats who signed up to be willing to give out candy.
I am in the beginning stages of planning a trip during Christmas from Kunming to Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh. Have any of you ever done this? What is the cost of a train from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh? What can I expect to spend on hotels? What are some things to do and see in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh?
I am looking at driving my car from KMG to Hekou (leaving the car at the house of someone I know) then crossing the border and taking the train to Hanoi. Spend a few days in Hanoi and then take a train to Ho Chi Minh. I would appreciate any thoughts or feedback.
I think you have to be up a little. We are on the 6th floor, and I easily felt it. My daughter was outside, and she felt nothing. We are down south near Dianchi Rd.

I just felt an earthquake at 4:31pm on Sunday 3 August. Did you guys feel it? I was lying on the bed watching a show when the bed began to sway. I looked in the hall where I have a hanging light, and it was also swaying.
No results found.
My wife and I have been a to Magiano's twice in the past few months, and we have been super pleased both times.
Last night, we ordered pizza (it came with freshly graded parmesan cheese), pasta, & a risotto dish. All three were excellent. Besides great food, we were served freshly baked bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for free. To top it off, the owner brought us a small piece of American ribeye to taste for free.
The wait staff was very attentive, and every time my water glass was empty, they were over to our table in just a few seconds to fill it.
We were able to eat for a little more than 200rmb. This might sound expensive to some; however, I thought it was a great deal considering we got bread and three dishes. We will certainly be giving them our business again.
I am not familiar with Hongshan Dong Lu. What area of town is this, and what is it near.
My wife and I would love to come try your restaurant.

Posted byI read on someone's facebook that they had read that this was a result of the city shutting off the drainage because they didn't want water getting into the new subway line. This person's same post said that 300 people have been killed as a result. Is this true...have any of you heard the same?
Interview: Rocco Capasso
Posted byYea, great article. Thanks for writing this. Rocco is a great man, and he has some of the best food in Kunming.
I want to tell one story about Rocco. Last year when he was near Wenlin Jie, a friend and I went to eat at Rocco's. While we were eating, someone tried to steal my friend's electric bike. In the process, they messed up the locking system on the handlebars. As a result, my buddy couldn't unlock the steering column. Rocco found out what happened,and him and an employee helped us carry the bike up his stairs and into his restaurant to store for the night. The next day when my friend went to see about the bike, Rocco had sent an employee down the street to find someone to fix the steering column, so the bike was ready to go when he arrived. There aren't many people who would do this for a complete stranger.
We have tried to go often to eat at Rocco's to say thanks. Everything is so good. My wife's favorite is the gnocchi with white sauce. I love the pumpkin raviolis, but everything I have ever eaten has been good. If you haven't eaten at Rocco's go. This is a great man who cares about the quality of his food, and he is willing to go out of his way to help a stranger.
