@HFCAMPO. You ever see the taxi lane when it's not summer? They sit around for hours.
@AlPage48. That's really hard to fathom. The East bus station is still far out from the airport.

I didn't realize they went off the meter at the East coach station. Otherwise how can the fare from the airport to city be the same as East coach station to city?

You can be forgiven for not knowing summer is rainy season. Maybe you got no mountain or altitude experience, so you didn't realize chance of rain is even higher. But they sell cheap raingear just about anywhere.

I've done the mid-gorge dry, soaked, and with rain and sun at same time. I think the soaked one was the best. But I like adventure and off the beaten path.

You must be totally ill prepared, as you are going to bypass Tiger Leaping, Dali, Lijiang for Nanning. But hey, Nanning has a G7 coffee shop, so go warm yourself up there. Don't bother with Kunming to Nanning trains; all sold out. So just get on the next bus for Nanning after you arrive, cause no need to stay in Kunming, as it's raining here too.

Wow thanks for the heads up tigertiger. 368rmb and buffet style. I guess holding it at the Intercontinental and charging that amount will keep out the common folk. Like tiger I can afford the 368rmb, but I'll pass. I prefer how the Thai Council promotes their country and goods, with open air stalls in ordinary shopping malls and selling snacks and dishes for 10rmb or less.

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.
