there's places all over town that do this kind of stuff - look for signs with the following characters: 打印 dayin - printing; 复印 fuyin - copying; 扫描 saomiao - scanning; 传真 chuanzhen - faxing.
printing and copying are widespread, scanning and faxing less common - but you should be able to track them down. there's a few places along yieryi dajie, to the east of the intersection with wenhua xiang - that's where i'd start.
cacaja came to kunming after already having opened branches in xi'an and chengdu. i'd have to say that this forum thread has confirmed my feeling that they've adapted their business model to the marketplace perfectly :P
oddly, i think your best bet might be to take them with you when you travel. a friend of mine took two massive (and scary looking!) dao from Beijing to the Netherlands for his wushu teacher a while back.
i can't think of a sure-fire way to ship them, but i guess it might be worth talking to the foreign courier companies - FedEx and DHL both operate in Kunming.
i was just passing the tuodong stadium, so i dropped in to see what the score was with tickets. people weren't very sure, giving me both March 10 ("but this isn't for certain") and March 20 as the date ticket sales commence. the ticket office is by the main gate on dongfeng dong lu. i think i'll head back in early March and see if matters have clarified.
in other news, i have heard that tickets available to the public will be a rather small percentage of the total, with others available to sponsors, government and such like. however, i don't know the ultimate source of this information, or its veracity.
no-one's reviewed this place for nearly 3 years! i think i know why: it's solid. a bit boring maybe, but they get the job done: food on the table in good time, attentive staff, wide selection of items. the 'Prague Breakfast' is a fine feed, still good value after the recent price increase.
i joined friends here on the weekend. they were getting food and playing a game. the pizzas looked great, but my friends advised me to avoid them, saying they tasted bland.
having made a selection, it took 20 minutes for the staff to tell me that my choice was no longer available. as my friends had nearly finished their game, we then all took our business elsewhere.
helpful advice:
- if someone arrives, give them a menu
- sort out the beer selection
- if i speak to you in Chinese, speak back to me in Chinese
i've recently rediscovered this place. it's a little hit and miss, but i have to say that with a little experimentation, you can find some quality food here. while not perfect, the vindaloo is the best i've had.
i first sampled the Silver Spoon burgers a few weeks back - not bad at all, though i was unconvinced that they were 1/2 pound. another visit yesterday, and this time i was persuaded... definitely a fat burger. i was very happy with my cheese and bacon burger. diners with large appetites, be warned - you'll need a side of something to make a meal - the burger is just a burger - no fries.
This weekend around Kunming
