Forums > Living in Kunming > Kunming Waterfalls, Just in TIme for Drought

I'd prefer they divert all that water to Songhuaba reservoir. I have no water issues at the moment, but if Songhuaba is one of the remaining two reservoirs for Kunming, I expect we are all in trouble after the rainy season, if not before.

That's the problem. It's on a turn off. Also, most of the guests arrive by official or private car, so not many taxis get the chance to go to the hotel. Throw in the mix the crap putonghua of Kunming drivers and their vague knowledge. I'm just guessing, so if you get a taxi there all the time with no problems, do tell.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Man with a Van

Ant is as professional as it gets for local movers, but will cost double the company blobbles used. Same their van is like 2x to 3x main bao che size and three movers.

There used to be man with the van in the form of a guys with a man bao che waiting in front of the old puji 2nd hand market. But with the market vacated several months now, no clue if any still hang around there. Maybe check around your ciao qu or the one your moving to, or possibly another used market like huangtupo.

Interesting article, but it seems the Chinese hill tribes didn't really seem to have kept the crossbow culture alive either. They are just more enterprising than the Thai and make crappy ones for sale?

You know, your fear mongering with regards to vaccines is easy to ignore or tolerable when it just about adults, but when it pervades into children vaccinations, it moves into the realm of despicable.

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.
