that is strange. i don't know why. perhaps you need to go over a vpn to pay for a vpn!

and its gone up, its now $129 per year.

i just submitted a ticket on their site asking why they no longer sell to people in China? I'll update when i get a reply

As well as multiple servers 12vpn has multiple protocols (PPTP, L2TP, IPSec, IK2Ev2 and OpenVPN) so its pretty much unbeatable. I've managed to use it over 2 mobile networks, all the fixed ISPs and over multiple devices.

Dave79, the visa is valid for 180 days each visit. so we do need to leave after 6 months (probably spend a weekend in hong kong) and then come back in for another 6.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Samsung vs Anycall

Actually Anycall is just the Samsung brand name for mobile phones in Asia. It has nothing to do with the radio technology inside or the network they have a partnership with. I've had Anycall branded phones that were GSM and WCDMA in the past.

Just check the specifications clearly before you buy.

I've tried plenty of insects in Yunnan and while they are ok and I will happily eat if needed I don't think they are necessarily the answer to world hunger.

This TED talk by Allan Savory pretty much destroys much of the livestock/greenhouse gas theories. If it works, it would be a far better solution than grains or insects.

my wife posted the pic above of lots of people of dongfeng and it got deleted as inappropriate content - WTF? perhaps they thought it resembled a scene from later in same decade a bit further north-east?

Well perhaps Mr Sichuan People's Congress you'd consider investing in Kunming because the project is worthwhile and you'd get a suitable return on your investment and not because you'll be treated to "entertainment".

Police - don't arrest those pursuing the oldest profession in the world unless you have some way to get them into decent employment. Arrest the party members who think its acceptable to spend tax payers money on "entertainment"!
