The VietFrench fusion restaurant has opened bottom food court area of wangfujing. Like all Vietnamese places in fancy malls, expensive and half authentic. Tried the pho, soup was alright but they used really thick flat noodles. Place is clean and food tasty, and slightly more authentic than some others. They did have bun and spring rolls on menu in addition to pho in regards to street food items.

Yeah, the G7 sachets are good for instant and not Nestle ripoff pricing. In Vietnam they use two sachets for half a cup! Must admit, tasted even better. If you ever pass through Nanning, there is a G7 owned cafe.

In your case, letting off steam in a forum is good, and remember, pedestrian crossings are just suggestions; cars may or may not slow down. Red light, again, just a suggestion, not some kind of law or something.
@Daithi
It works like a charm. As soon as you think of rude behaviour as just going against a suggestion rather than some hard and true road law, you feel a 1000 times lighter, like some huge weight/pressure just suddenly vanished. So that 'One Way' sign is just a suggestion. Same, that road division for cars and bikes, just mere suggestions. See, you feel better already.
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.
Scientists "99 percent" certain SARS originated in Yunnan bats
Posted byUh, how do they know there aren't populations of this or other bats in guizhou, guangxi, guangdong, or hunan that harbor a bat precursor of the human sars virus? Plenty of caves and bats in all of those other provinces. Also, 1% uncertainty is a total failure to explain the transmission mechanism of sars from Yunnan bats to humans? That's a very generous 1%.

Belt and Road pushing Yunnan companies international
Posted byToo late for Angkor. Already consumed. Siem Riep never had much character before all the 5 stars showed up, so an even greater influx won't ruin the town. Of course, if a new airport means low cost carriers can fly there too, I'm all for it, after all, I just want a cheap seat!
Update: Kunming Metro Line 3 open as of August 29
Posted byFyi, Baiyun lu around Beijing lu no longer exists, for cars anyways.
