Forums > Living in Kunming > Added Holiday September 3 to 5

2015 - Thu, Fri, Sat - 3, 4, 5 - Lets see if this is true or just another rumor like the 40 schools being closed down. Lucky for all of us we do not have to wait too long as tomorrow is the start of the Holiday.

It is a one time thing to celebrate the 70th Anniversary - 中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利70周年纪念日 - baike.haosou.com/doc/8010452-8327432.html

I will download movies about the Japanese invasion of China to celebrate this holiday. Some movies I already have include:

Flying Tigers - 1942
Children of the Silk Road (Huang Shi) - 2008
The Last Emperor - 1987

Forums > Living in Kunming > any good kindergarden for children under two?

Stick to your plan and set up your own day care. If you are patient you will find some chinese people who will be happy to turn their kids over to foreigners as they want their kids exposed to english as soon as possible. It all depends on where you live though.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Train from Lao Cai to Hanoi

Please take note that the post above gives you the train schedule from Kunming to Hekou - Not Lao Cai to Hanoi.

Most foreigners purchase the cabin sleepers - 4 to a room. We usually take the night train from Lao Cai, sleep on the train and arrive in Hanoi about 5 am so we do not burn daylight on the train.

You can also buy tickets in Hekou before you cross the border at any travel agent. It was easier because we paid in RMB. Sometimes in Lao Cai they want you to pay in dollars or charge more for same day tickets. You can purchase tickets at a travel agency (pay more) or at the train station, but the train station usually runs out of cabin tickets because the travel agencies buy them all up.

I travel often and I am never in a hurry so I recommend you stop at Jian Shui rather than going straight from Kunming to Hekou if you have time.

Please keep in mind that this is NOT a good time to travel. Very crowded and hectic during this 3 day period.

The article is a joke but the cheng guan problem is real.

There is a place near my house where they store all the trikes and vending carts that the CG confiscate from the poor people just trying to make an honest living.

"You see that cart they're eating apples from?" he replied, gesturing toward the officers. "That used to be mine."

Have another party - bring a booth and put the chenguan inside - charge 5 yuan per person to throw rubber bricks at them - they can raise millions in a few hours.

Although some kids are not slim as they used to be - some middle school kids are tall and big now because of all those hormone grown meats - The majority still remain relatively slim.

However, they are very weak and out of shape because they sit in school all day and at home also doing homework.

They barely can do a few pushups, can not even do a pul-up - like private Pyle, and they get tired after walking short distances.

The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.
