You will find a distinct lack of all of the above. Get a really big refrigerator as restaurants aren't plenty either.
There is a spa next to the Howard Johnson. That was the only thing I thought useful out there.
If you teach at the uni, maybe you can use the student's gym facilities.
Dry Ice - never seen it used or for sale in Kunming. Even regular ice is pretty hard to come by.
I have seen plastic coolers for sale in the camping or auto sections of Carrefour or Walmart. The coolers were a bit pricey. Regular plastic food containers of all shapes and sizes sold there too.

Sorry to say, but you are the person who began and falls into the "confuse you even more regarding your question"
I posted two links that addressed Natsymir's question directly and didn't rail against or evangelize vaccines. Your reply decidedly turned this into a pro/anti vaccine thread. I'd prefer not to have this spiral into a bloated thread similar to the Laowai thing, so I think comments from now on should address the OP's question.
HFCAMPO, appreciate your other insightful posts related to travel. We disagree on vaccines, but adults can agree to disagree.

"Beware of the kidnappers, though" !?!? That got my attention!
Please elaborate as I plan on biking down to the lake sometime during the summer.
No results found.
Most airports in China have the last shuttle bus depart when the last flight arrives. Whether they do this as a courtesy or it's a rule of law, I don't know. But it's very comforting.
The 28rmb salad bar buffet is the best meal to be had in Kunming for that price. Killer onion rings as part of that salad bar! Starts at 5pm Mon-Sat. They don't restock a dish if it runs out, but it's rarely an issue because there are so many others and no dish runs out unless you show up past 7'ish on a fri or sat.
Their steaks are Chinese steaks, and not a Western level of cut of meat, but the Korean dishes are excellent.
The only reason it's 4 and not 5 stars, is I live far away, and maybe the quality of the steak. Of course it was only 50rmb for a steak, potatoes, and a salad bar buffet included.
Oh yes, the staff are really nice, but it's not fine dining, so they don't rush to take your order or bring out water. The place is more relaxed, so give'em a hollar or just grab a menu and some silverware yourself.

Getting Away: Vang Vieng
Posted byRegarding the roads, my impression was the opposite. I left Vientiane for VV via bus and found the road ok. From VV to Luang Prabang the road was quite miserable.
Nothing better than floating down the river with some of your friends; however, avoid the bar with the giant concrete slide. A Swiss guy drowned last year after using the slide, and it's cause innumerable other injuries to party-goers. Also, the tube doesn't make up for not being a good swimmer.
Safety concerns plague national school lunch program
Posted byVery happy that poor kids are getting a free meal at school...Very sad they are forced to eat spoiled food at times.
I think the children should be given 3rmb food vouchers to be spent with the local chefs and vendors outside the school. No more troubles for the schools to operate a kitchen, and the children can decide with their pocketbook (aka vouchers) which vendors food tastes best. If no food vendors can make decent food for 3rmb per child, then the gov't knows why the schools are forced to use rotten stuff at times.

Posted byHas The Balcony Guesthouse opened for business? Would be very curious if there was an update to the article, which was excellent reading.
