@SarahB. It's not really a problem if your a passersby, but if it's seven days a week with electric loudspeakers and amplifiers and you're in the unfortunate building that can hear it, residents can get angry. In some other parts of China people have aimed bags of shit at the grannies from their highrises or in another case a group of residents bought even louder speakers and aimed it at the dancers. I don't think in Kunming the dancers have annoyed people to that extent and the music isn't especially loud.
Similar too the dancing grannies are the whipping granddads. I once rode to a very pleasant viewing platform in a river park in Jiangxi. Perfect spot, but couldn't stay longer than a minute because there were 20+ old men cracking their whips on their spinning tops. The noise level was unbearable. Noticed no one lingered very long, except the whippers. Such a shame, was the best spot to enjoy the river and park.
You can get a few more km on any long outing by paying for charging at a ebike lot or maybe a restaurant. But don't think an hour or two charge will get you more than a few km, but better than nothing or pushing an ebike a few km, though that's some great exercise.
The moderators should seriously think this over. If users are banned over fights about mixian but misogyny is alright, then what does that reflect about GoKunming.com?
Uh, 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%.
Too 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!
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.
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.
Scientists "99 percent" certain SARS originated in Yunnan bats
