All three are good paths and doing some of all three is probably the best way. However, taking part time classes at keats or some other private school is definitely a good way to go if your schedule and budget allows. Time alone is hard, because locals all speak kunminghua, so you wont pick it up through your daily life.
@Tonyaod. So if I decide to make Slap-A-Ho and black eye jokes you, Alien, and Daithi will rush to my defense and call every other SANE PERSON WITH COMMON DECENCY out for censorship, big brother, et al, and try to make them look like the villians.
I am in agreement with tigertiger, why are the people who didn't make the misogynistic jokes the ones being villified? All in all, this whole episode reflects very poorly on GoKunming.
eblair obviously is a blind zealot regarding chinese traditional medicine. He or she has come to the enraged defense of aconite having totally ignored the that:
1) The lawsuit in the article has yet to be determined in favor or against the Yunnan Baiyao
2) eblair obviously didn't bother to click on the links in the article to discover that Yunnan Baiyao's mainly under attack for faulty seals in Sichuan and not listing aconite as an ingredient in HK. I don't think anyone can argue that faulty seals and mislabeling are not egregious.
Scally presented an informative article. I agree eblair is just pissed off.
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.
