Forums > Living in Kunming > Are cheap Chinese bikes worth buying ?

I have a Chinese-made folding bike bought in Canada (Therefore, there's no point me discussing the cost). but I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Chinese-made bike in future. Yes, sometimes, alloy tubing is used and, obviously, it affects the price.
Perhaps, ten years ago, one would have been much more cautious.

China Eastern flight MU5708 ETD Kunming 12:55 am, ETA Dhaka 01:00 am.

A 30-day visa will be attached to your passport on arrival in Dhaka.

You ought to have immunization for measles.

OFFICIAL WARNING: Foreign Affairs advises against all travel to the Chittagong Hill Tracts region, where there is a high risk of politically motivated violence, ethnic clashes and kidnappings. Bangladeshi authorities must be notified seven days before any travel to this region. Exercise extreme caution, maintain a high level of personal security awareness at all times, monitor local developments, and avoid crowds and demonstrations.

@Dinkus: There are many restaurants on this Website. Nevertheless, more would be welcome. Therefore, why don't you spend a moment going to the 'Restaurants' page and placing your "amazing" finds there.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Business card print shops

Today, having left Kunming, I am unable to provide an actual business name, but with decades of years in publishing, I was always impressed by the quality of many "run-of-the-mill places" in Kunming. Of course, for a high-end magazine, calibrated colour levels, etc., are important, but (standard size) business cards?

I'll pass on my hopes of becoming a shorter person, but it is impossible to ignore the article about illegal timber imports. Permit me to quote, "... trade between Myanmar and China in illegal timber has declined significantly since 2005."

My goodness, the trade has declined significantly down to 90% ... whatever next!

Spitting? Excuse my mirth.

Those of us who have held a Foreign Expert 'qualification' are bound, I suspect, to smile at such titles as; deputy... and assistant.... I suggest that with a foreign (perhaps) PhD in Economics, they will be more qualified than their heads of department (even at 40). And after a 2-year probation period of being told that, "it's always been done this way," these unfortunate citizens will likely rush to renew their foreign citizenship application.

A thought occurs to me; Did the article "Kunming aims to improve quality of residents in three years" originate on the 1st April?

I think that this is a wonderful friendship project. A similar US project would be even better, perhaps President Obama will suggest something when he goes to visit. And I wonder if the British Council have an office in Iran?

I guess that what I'm saying is (between the lines) that there aren't any nuclear bombs in Iran until I actually see them.

This restaurant is totally overwhelmed whenever the 4th floor is opened ... especially at weekends.

The kitchen is too small, and the kitchen staff too inexperienced. As others have said, it isn't difficult to learn that an 'appetizer' is a 'starter' and should be served before the main course.

To explain that the kitchen is "Too busy" should mean. 'CLOSE THE TOP FLOOR!'

The owner must recruit more staff from India, and spend more time at the restaurant (He hasn't been here here for three months).

Poor service, certainly. Exagerated ego, probably.

'American' breakfast with Yunnan tea ... No thank you!
I yearn for fresh bread somewhere.

I am considering a visit to Kunming soon.
This information confuses me. There is another hotel on the opposite side of the street (opposite the university's West Gate) that is also called (as far as I remember) Yunnan University Hotel.
It is much less expensive.
Hotel reviews are much needed.
