Hi,
I'll be in Kunming for 2 weeks. Is there a good VPN that works. Can you private message me, if thats not good to post in public? I need to use gmail, yahoo, youtube, etc. Also is there good voice-over-IP service I can use? Does google voice chat, skype, or whats up work well, assuming VPN works?

Is there any way to see what the mountain biking trails look like? Any photos/descriptions of different trails online?

Which starbucks near city center is best for hanging out all day and studying on my laptop? Ideally it'd have power plugs and reliable wifi. I saw a small one on the 2nd floor of some building near Dico's. But is there a better one?
