Bing sucks, hence yahoo sucks because they use Microsoft.
Seems like not much is blocked now except Google related and usual suspects. As long as you have the site bookmarked and it's not trying to access Google ad services, and if it is, then just press stop at some point.
La Chouffe for breakfast is great! Watching the USA defense last 20 seconds not so great.
Lost Garden is a fine place to stay, but your budget means dorm. Cloudland has a courtyard to leave your bike, but it's in the LP.
Another trick is to press stop if a page is just spinning loading, good chance most of the page will show up. I use Chrome as my browser and this works mostly. Still not going to work for totally blocked sites. Nothing can replace a vpn for those.
Also if using Chrome, disable autoloading of plugins. Stops browser from trying to load embedded YouTube videos.
Tim, that's awesome of you. I am going to bring a giant bowl of guoqiao mixian with all the fixings to the USA v Portugal game. Or I will order a steak sandwich at 2am and come back and eat it four hours later.
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.

The faceless grottos of Anning's Fahua Temple
Posted byThanks. Nice travelogue. Bern to various grottoes great and small. Both large and small showing what a couple of hundred years of weather and vandals does to the head of carvings. Even though the small ones like this aren't as impressive, I find them more peaceful and always tended by a humble monk or two. Haven't been to this one, but should make for a great cycle.
