Forums > Travel Yunnan > ATM cards in neighboring countries?

Can anyone tell me if an ATM from Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank, Bank of China or Post Office Bank can be used to withdraw money in Hong Kong? In Laos? In Thailand? In Vietnam?

There are lots of rumors and lots of statements of what "ought" to be, but can anyone tell me if they have actually been able to use their Chinese bank account on a visit to one of the neighboring countries?

Thanks.

Forums > Food & Drink > Bade Hanse (巴德汉所) restaurant

Anyone try the Bade Hanse restaurant among the shops and restaurants next to The Hump Hostel? At first glance, it looks like German- Brazilian restaurants I've seen elsewhere in China. Does it have home-brewed beer with the roast meat?

Thanks.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Anyone had dental crown experience in Kunming?

I had a good experience, a couple years ago, with the dental hospital ("Stomatology Hospital) at the Kunming Medical School on Renmin Lu. They have some English speaking dentists. I forget the price, but a couple thousand rmb for a complete crown, of gold covered with porcelain. No pressure to get the most expensive option.

Forums > Living in Kunming > How do i get to NORDICA from the North?

Bus #84 from the northern city bus terminal, bei shi qu chi che chang (公交北市区车场), will take you from the north side to the Yun Da area. There are 3-4 stops along yi er yi street that might suit you. It ends at the downtown pedestrian mall.

"I wonder if any of the problems that have to do with unlicenced vendors etc. might have something to do with a (relative) downturn in an economy"

There are far fewer small markets than there used to be.

"What happens when they decide to set up shop in front of YOUR house blocking you from getting in and start taking money out of YOUR pockets?"

I'd love to buy jianbing or baozi as I walk to early class. I'd put my money in their pockets willingly.

I've bought food from one woman vendor for ten years now, and somehow the sky has not fallen.

I've stayed here many times over the years and been very satisfied. Central location, comfortable rooms, reasonable prices. Some might mind the noise from the Bad Monkey Bar across the street, but I've always been able to sleep. The staff is very helpful with bus tickets, excursion tickets and the like.

Does anyone know if this is still a going concern? Or destroyed by the fire?

One of my favorite places in Jing Hong! It's my landmark, the center of the hotel, restaurant, bike, etc., area. I discovered dark Beer Lao there!
