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?
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?
I want to visit both Jing Hong and Mangshi (aka Luxi). I know there is a direct bus from KM to JH. Is there a direct bus from KM to Mangshi? Is there a bus connection between Jing Hong and Mangshi?
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.
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.
It's only in S. China that potatoes are yang yu 洋芋 or foreign root. In the North, they are tu dou 土豆 earth bean. Yunnan people eat more potatoes than in most parts of China, but they are definitely a major part of Dong Bei cuisine also.
As for storage, in the Andean Plateau of Peru and Bolivia, the homeland of the potatoe, people sun dry them or freeze dry them, much as Dong Bei people do with cabbages and onions at the beginning of Winter.
The Andes have many varieties which have never been taken elsewhere. Maybe the Chinese ag. authorities can change that!
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.
