The largest population is most definitely nearby countries like Vietnam, and Korea. I hope the next gokunming update has threaded forums... definitely needs it.
Windows 7 Professional has a built-in XP emulator. If you don't want to buy Professional you can just run VirtualBox, or do a dual boot install of Windows XP and 7.
I've never seen a computer sold in Kunming with a legal English copy of Windows 7. Your best bet would be to call Dell China, Lenovo, Samsung, or whoever and order it directly. You can also purchase Windows 7 online at Microsoft's website and download it from there.
If you really want to be geeky you can buy an Apple computer, install Windows 7 and Linux using boot camp... yeah. Then when you hear a bunch of geeks arguing about Windows 7, Linux, and OS X you can just say.. who gives a shit mate? I can run all 3... even Apple computers are relatively cheap these days :P
Also Apple no longer manufactures computers(not that they ever have for a long long time), but since they switched to Intel CPUs the components in Apple computers and "PC" computers are nearly the same. In fact it's not too hard to install OS X on a non-apple computer.
The only thing people generally have problems with these days are graphics card drivers if they play the latest games, and shitty software "PC" brands(*stares at Dell*) pre-load on their computer to make a quick buck.
Here's a tour guide that I know of in Lijiang that could help. I lived in Lijiang for 2 years, but honestly except for Tiger Leaping Gorge there wasn't any other place that I felt was all that great. One night at the old town, one day or two at Tiger Leaping Gorge, and a day at Shangrila should be more than plenty for 3 days. The old town looks best at sunset when they turn on all the lanterns.

Saying goodbye to google.cn seems likely, but there will always be google.com, google.hk or whatever. The difference is it will be slower and you will be mysteriously blocked more often. In the end there is always VPN or similar proxy services. They can't effectively block all VPN without blocking banking and commercial access, unless they somehow convince banks and businesses to do away with encrypted connections... hah
I think one also must make a distinction between what their program actually is. Many so-called "college/school" programs are nothing more than the school giving the teacher a worthless textbook and telling them to teach. Many English schools are often run this way too, except many times they don't even provide a textbook for the foreign teacher.
No results found.
Cheese tasted great. Much better than other pizza joints.
Excellent salad bar. Hamburgers are usually ok. The fancier dishes were a little lacking.
Giving it a 4 stars for the salad bar. If you were going there for "fine dining" then probably best to go somewhere else.
The store also has some nice imported food(though obviously Metro is cheaper for some things). The freshly baked goods are nice too.
Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.
Not bad. Pretty much what you would expect, but expensive for China.
Expensive, but decent bread. Other places are better, but not bad if you're in a hurry.
Starbucks to market Yunnan coffee in China outlets
Posted byHuh? How is Yunnan distinctive from rural areas in any other country with a centrally controlled economic system(which is pretty much any "modern and developed" country today)? How is The Brother's Jiang expanding everywhere in Yunnan different from Starbucks trying to expand in Yunnan?
Do you think Iowa has lost its distinctness because of all the Mexican and Chinese restaurants that have opened up? Oh wait, even though they almost all serve the same food, and their suppliers are almost all the same... it's so much better because they all have a different name... cripes, it's just marketing.
You can go to any city in Yunnan and you will see the same products being sold in all of them. What does it matter if the name of the store is in Chinese or in English? Does this somehow prevent you from speaking to the people who work there? Does it stop you from taking your time? It's just a marketing symbol, get over it.
