Victory Vietnamese Coffee (VVC) is a wholesaler of 100% Robusta beans imported from Vietnam. Currently, VVC beans are available retail from Green Kunming.
You can order beans online from Green Kunming or pick them up at Oasis Gift Shop located on Tianjundian Xiang (the alley connecting Wenhua Xiang and Wenlin Jie). For orders of 10 kilograms or more, please use the contact information listed on gokunming.com.
Thank you for your inquiry, and I hope this is helpful.
I've purchased a few Vietnam visas, and I'll try to recall what I can. You can purchase them in the border town of He kou, but they will be 450-500 rmb (depending on how much the agent in He kou charges you). You will also have to wait the same three days to recieve the visa whether it's in Kunming or He kou.
The Vietnam consulate is located on the fifth floor of what I remember as Hong ta da xia. It's north and east of Jin jiang da jiu dian (the building with the Thai Air branch office). So, east side of Beijing lu, before the train station and Nan yao qi che zhan.
Be sure to have with you a passport size photo for the application. All tourist visas are 30 days, and I believe multiple entry are 100 or 150 rmb more.
I too have watched websites come and go in my 5+ years in Yunnan, and let me tell you, I HIGHLY DOUBT that fear is gripping the folks in the gokunming office. Also consider, if the gokunming office is so terrified by a skeletal forum with little to no content, why are they allowing this forum to basically advertise for free through their own forums? If sophomoric accomplishments were not the norm in Kunming, perhaps there would be more concern from the gokunming team.
Also, do not forget the consistent posts that make gokunming the staple it is. Very few foreigners here have the skill-set or knowledge of Kunming, Yunnan, or China in general to provide this type of service to the foreign community. At best, "inkunming" will only prove once again the benchmark of quality and professionalism that gokunming has created.
This is a great idea! My local community mercantile in the states had a program very similar to this. Their program was a once a week pick-up that included seasonal vegetables, but what was even better, they included fresh herbs and recipes for items that may be unfamiliar.
I hope that anyone interested in this program will spread the word to like minded friends. The best chance of success for a program like this is finding as many people as possible who want to be involved. And remember, more people involved increases the chances of lower prices for everyone. So spread the word!
