The ONLY change I would welcome would be a "Report SPAM" button!

The air doesn't bother me so much, especially once the summer rains start and clean it up. Noise is another matter. I'm beginning to believe most Chinese people are deaf. None of them seem to hear the car horns that never stop. And why is it necessary for a truck to be blasting a horn at 3:00 a.m. when there is only one other vehicle on the road?

I found flying via Hong Kong to be more expensive than going via Seoul. We were able to travel on Korean Air and have baggage checked right through between Toronto and Kunming. The ticket from Hong Kong to Toronto (return) was more than the ticket for Toronto to Kunming (return) and I still had to get to Hong Kong.

This question keeps getting asked, and the answer is the same every time. Huiying Dental clinic. Their add is right here on GoKunming.

My daughter had two wisdom teeth removed there last year with no problem. I recommend Dr. Ying who did additional training in Manchester, England.

Part of what bothers me is that I should be carrying all sorts of documentation with my, like my passport (and visa). I NEVER take my passport out of the safe unless I'm going to the passport office, visa office or police stations.

Does anybody know if it's actually law that I have to carry all this stuff around with me? That would be immensely inconvenient. I often go out without even carrying cash, since it's just too easy to have it stolen. Losing a passport would be more difficult than losing cash, so I'm not about to start unless absolutely necessary.

Does anybody have an experience with this?
