I don't think "officially" means all that much. But my knowledge is based on what I've read, sounds like yours is a little more tangible.

I agree with you about reciprocity, which I guess I can thank for my $220 Chinese visa... I got sidetracked making a separate point about all Americans being branded as rich.

Well so much for my efforts to avoid the conversation turning into this. I guess now that its beyond repair... It should be added, Canada was somewhat complicit with the Vietnam war as well.

I find it hard to believe Canadians pay 1/4 the price for a thai visa compared to Americans. But if that's true, and its based on the perception of wealth...the logic really starts to break down.

I don't think the economic level of your average Canadian/American is all that different. If anything I tend to think Canadians might enjoy a higher standard, lest people forget how concentrated wealth in the states is.

Yeah after you posted I dug around further and found a thread that was more helpful. Also nice you can do the quick turn around without getting the Laos visa. I didnt know that. Cheers.

I never said surprising. But thats okay — it just read a bit blithe and sarcastic to me is all.

Thanks Alex... I looked, and like I said couldn't find the exact information I was after. A lot of it convoluted with other visa related issues as well.

Thanks Heniu for your helpful comment. I was only asking a simple visa question. But if you feel the need to throw atrocities like the Vietnam war in others faces..I guess... go for it.

Anyone seen the "Zoology water closet" by Dian Chi? Some sort of utility building..but the sign makes me curious about whats really inside

Not Kunming specific but an interesting article nonetheless.

Not to get self righteous. But its pretty disgusting what humans do to their environment... And China is certainly at the forefront of that destruction.

At whatever point a city starts drawing Kathmandu comparisons its not good. Certainly seems whoever is calling the shots around here, is hell bent on ruining a place that used to be nice.

Previous poster has it right, this is one of the best bakeries in Asia, let alone in China.

Whoever runs the place clearly knows what they are doing. Staff is really well trained, friendly and the place is extremely clean. I ate here multiple times, everything I had was excellent. The sandwiches in particular are good.

Maybe if I'm at home I dont give 5 stars...but after months of suffering through Chinese food or overpaying for really bad western food. This place is a dream come true.

Funny that educated man's negative review seems to have been completely drowned out by positive reviews. And a response from the employee he called out.

I stayed at LG awhile back. No complaints. For the price you pay the accommodation is good value. The staff all provided good service in my experience.

Duly noted by everyone the pizza is good. In fact every meal I had was pretty good, minus one salad. Nowhere is perfect. Compared to what else is on offer in Kunming, its hard to beat. Will be back for the food.

Don't really understand all the negative reviews. Maybe things have changed, maybe I got lucky with what I ordered. I dont know.

I'll preface this by saying I've had great Indian food in India, and in the states. Think the meal I had here was fairly respectable. It wasn't great, but it was recognizable as Indian food and the Lassi was good.

It wasn't cheap but the price wasn't too high. Not bad considering there wasn't a south Asian in sight. Also not bad when you glance next door to the Chinese restaurant and see whats being served looks like some type of animal abortion.

Eaten here a couple times. Found it to be pretty decent. Prices not too unreasonable, particularly their lunch menu. Sandwiches above average by Asian standards, so relatively speaking good. Manager seemed to care if I enjoyed the food, which, is the main reason I bothered to write this review. I've become so used to indifference it threw me off a little.
