You will need a copy of the resident visa page of your wifes passport and obviously front page too. Plus, if I remember correctly, the police registration for when she registered in China at the local police station.

They can be a bit bitchy about giving it to you and (in my experience) won't give it to you for any tourist visa periods. Only for student/resident/business visas where they can check with the local police station if you were arrested. At least this is what they told me when I had it done last year...

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a Chinese person walking around with a hat that looked strangely like a raccoon this coming winter! Raccoon soup?

They made a law banning inconvenient shift change times and didn't enforce it, unsurprisingly it didn't make any difference.

Now they are making hazy recommendations and new signs, which of course won't be enforced again. Gee I wonder what the result will be?

200 million tonnes! What I want to know is - how much do they lose each year in run off from rain/wind? You can bet that their are hundreds of massive piles of coal like in the first picture, just imagine the damage to the local ecosystems/ground water after a rain storm! And we wonder why we have heavy metals in our water supply!

Wow, just wow. Possibly the best Chinese food I have had in Kunming. And in one of the nicest, traditional courtyard style restaurant I have been in. A woman dressed in traditional qi pao playing a gu zheng just adds to it.

We had okra, mushroom soup, dried beef and chou dofu. All top notch with the bill coming in at just over 250 kuai. But we could have fed 3 people for that so not too bad at about 80-90 kuai each. Not the cheapest but for the quality, it's damn good.

If you have people visiting and want to take them to a traditional Chinese style restaurant with Yunnan style food, or want a romantic night out with a gal, you can't go wrong here. Close to Green Lake (down a little alley) for a romantic walk... Just perfect.

Pretty good place for getting all your documents translated and/or notarised. Note that there are a number of notaries in the building which you can find by going up the stairs (the elevators are impossible). But you have to find the stairs to do so... go in the door, head over to the right, go up the big wide stairs which head up a floor, turn right then right again into the elevator area and right again into the stairwells. Whew!

One point off for the elevators never being available and having to hike 7-9 flights of stairs (not good if you have to go 3-4 times a day like I often did!)

This does not stop at the Jinanya hotel at Da Shang Hui as the flyers state (and is on the images tab here). They need to have another stop in the same area or else they are missing out on covering a big chunk of the city.

You can take another bus, the 919C, I believe, if you are nearby Da Shang Hui, which leaves from the bus station on HeHong Lu, nearby the Qianxing road intersection. This bus goes every hour and is white, found at the western end of the station. It is operated by a different company and takes about 1 hour 10 minutes to get to the airport due to a large number of stops especially near the airport.

Great bus though if you can catch it!

Friendly people, even got to the talk to the vice consulate, who told me she had done a stint in Malaysia's Siberian Consulate!

English is spoken by some of the Chinese girls working at the desk who are pleasant to deal with. I assume they do Visa's as well but I wasn't here for a visa, this time!
