Forums > Living in Kunming > GPS with Pinyin available in Kunming?

As I understand it the software for all GPS units are controled by the govt. That is also why you will never see coordinates of your position listed. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that maps would only be written in Chinese.
Best to get a GPS outside of China.

Well Timmy you sound like a Chinese guy. I mean that you think one should "accept" what is, and not think about questioning anything.
The fact is, when people talk and "whine" as you put it, things change... albeit little by little. I don't think foreigners are trying to turn Kunming into NY. That is not the point. But if people can exchange dialog and help to effect change, this is both constructive and necessary. Lat's face it, China can use a lot of help to pull itself into the real world...... Here Tim- grab the rope!

Anybody know where I can get a copy of the 1971 edition "Why Porridge Birds Lays it's Eggs in the Air?" I lost mine back in 1968. I'll even take a Chinese version!

GO buy a fish. This dog business is disgusting as are the majority of their owners.

I just bought a new town house SPECIFICALLY because they do not allow animals of any kind. I would guess it is the only place with a policy like this. Can't wait until it is built!

Once again, logic flies out the window when you try to put the two words together..."Chinese" & "logic". It's as idiotic as "military intelligence".
I would be happy just to use a taxi that simply doesn't resemble a broken down dog house. Kunming must have the dirtiest taxis of anywhere in the world...no doubt!

Crap, evil, liars, unprofessional, expensive, no customer service comes to mind when I think of B&Q.

I have to agree with splitopen. This place is not worth the long drive to get there whatsoever. Crazy expensive and the play is boring. It looks thrown together and poorly built. The employees are rude. They obviously don't like their jobs. For the prices they charge, it is a rip off. I give it a few months before Hello! Haigeng Minigolf Park is just a memory.

Dr Doom, This is not the US so, yes, 40 kuai IS too much! Next time your are there, count how many Chinese customers they have. This business seems to promote an elitist attitude which I do not care for. A foreign owned business setting pricing to exclude locals is not a place I would support.

BTW, it was open in Nov, and it sounds like your are the one who owns this place......pretty lame.

The food is expensive with small portions. Quality is poor and the service is not so good. I think the servers are not happy working there which shows in their attitude. I would not recommend this place at all.
