So I've been using the electric water heater recently since the monsoon has arrived.
I have a nice big very modern fancy looking Haier electric water heater.
Question is, I notice a very large drop in temperature overnight for the hot water, over 10C. Is this normal? The tank looks really new and nice and Haier is a top brand, so I thought the insulation would be better. Oh yeah, I'm turning it off overnight.
Some websites would disagree. But no, I didn't donate that one. I will have the Samuel L Jackson audio version CD shipped to them as a replacement though :)
USA! USA! USA! Omg, Germany and Portugal are in our group?!?! How did that happen. We need to up our bribes to FIFA. I just want to play small African nations till the final.
You know mm, they way you answered nailer's question was pretty lame.
Is this the same culinary student that can't tell goat from lamb?
No results found.
Never gotten sick once at Sals. Their food is TexMex, so yeah, not authentic Mexican food, but pretty authentic as TexMex goes. Burrito wrap has improved a lot. Like the draft beer option now.
If you haven't had dairy products in a while, and do eat here, best forgo the sour cream. Nothing wrong with it, in fact it's the best sour cream in Kunming, but if you've eaten Chinese for month or months with no dairy intake, your system will react to sour cream or probably any liquid dairy product not so well. Maybe that's what happened with nailer and tallamerican.
Update:
It's now 5 working days for regular processing. So I submitted my application a bit before 5pm on a Friday and was told to pick it up next week Friday after 5pm.
Cost is now 400rmb for a single 30 day entry. Or that was what I was charged anyways. There are no posted prices and its cash only with no receipt except for your passport pickup. That's like $65 USD.
You can pay another 150rmb for 2 day or 100rmb for 3 day processing. For 400rmb, they should process it in three days like they used to before, but now you'd pay 500rmb. The office is still like deserted most of the time, so why does it take longer now and cost extra. If you opted for 2 day, thats like $90 usd. All other neighboring countries charge like $25usd.
The rest of and cope review is still good for hours and location.
Far out, less people. Big enough to get lost in. Pretty and quiet near dusk. 20yuan entrance fee.
Like everyone else says, best Indian food in Kunming. They have lunch plates and dinner plates. Show up before 1pm for lunch.
They are on the 4th floor of the half empty shopping mall. Best way is too take the elevator past the KFC around the corner from Starbucks.
Most individual dishes can feed only two hungry guys, so order more if you are starving. Naan order can take care of one only.
Five stars for the food. Go with Yereth's recommendations, plus any vegetable the waitress says is fresh.
Beware that Xue Fu lu is one way, so many taxis have to take a roundabout way to get here.

Wrongful murder conviction spawns US$1.45 million lawsuit
Posted byProps to her lawyer for being able to secure a retrial and getting her exonerated. Also, I am impressed that the Yunnan High Court chose a 17 year old (at time) housekeeper from a poor background over local police and prosecutors. Too bad her civil suit has to go to the court that wrongly convicted her.
The original case would be over ten years old now. That's a lifetime ago at China pace. Very unlikely they kept DNA evidence and since they did an all out effort on her, probably very little other suspects questioned or witness statements.
