On the advice of the articles on wonderful Laos-I wasted my vacation by going there-expensive! I could have slept on the beach in Thailand or Cambodia. Spent 10 days and turned around to go back to Kunming-nothing to do, bad food, unfriendly people, Vang Vieng has been bulldozed. Really the worst trip ever and I have traveled a lot. It is irresponsible for you travel writers to put out trash for us to follow. Please refund all the money I spent.
I am taking your advice but someone told me about tickets for 170 RMB on c-trip to Xishuangbanna. I will stop there for a few days then begin the Laos bus horror, Any tips on Xishuangbanna?
I just read that the long distance bus terminals have moved and the time frame for buying tickets is 7 days or buy online 2 days in advance and then go to the bus terminal. They have all moved outside the city.-where is the go kunming listing?
I just read that there were new long distance bus stations in Kunming. Now I can't find the posting. Please someone tell me where the new information is posted.
I was going to get a flight then decided on the bus because it was around 250. I should have bought the flight=this really s....ks

Kunming to monitor airborne particulate matter
Posted byI have a lung condition so I check the real pollution index every day. I have been able to go out two days in the last month-it wasn't like this last y ear. I am getting out of here asap. Most expats do not have lung conditions so don't think it is affecting them-bah ha ha -it is going to get you too. I can feel it in my lungs and gauge the index- I am usually right on target. Spring City has become a death trap-
Kunming to become more civilized
Posted byIt is dangerous to ride the streets on a bike in this city because the cars are all parked in the bike lane. I would think this is a major problem. It is hard to try and get into the car lane with no mirrors and I have seen people get hit. Spitting on the sidewalk brings germs into the home we walk around all day with someone's illness then bring it into the house. I take off my shoes at the door but the germs are in anyway. Who cares about people cooking on the streets-this is China. But the people who ride the wrong way in bike lanes are dangerous. It seems to me that safety should be the main consideration.
