I'm no expert, but my quick internet search seems to imply each Richter magnitude is TEN times the previous one, not 33?

Not a wobble....
For anyone interested, Kunming will experience a partial solar eclipse
on Sunday 21st June from 2-5pm. Can't make any promises about cloud cover though!
Everyone else suffering too? Something happening in Beijing?
I am reading my brother's Masters dissertation for typos!

Price is now 100RMB for adults, 70RMB for children.
Some of the animal areas are as far as 10+km from the entrance - you can buy a hop on/off bus ticket for 60RMB per person, but there are also clearly marked walkways for those who are full of energy.
Everything inside is pretty expensive - consider bringing a picnic.
Many of the animals are in large outdoor enclosures. Some are caged. The park calls itself a safari, but this is not a "drive your car amongst the animals" thing. It's more like a decent western zoo.
There are places to handle/be photographed with animals, for a fee. Also, some kids amusements.
The animal show is free, but a waste of time (unless you love watching goats, sheep, pigs, horses etc!!).
Good labelling i English thorughout.

Still worth a visit, especially for the arhat statues. The 11am vegetarian lunch is basic, but still only 10RMB. Free entry.

Prague cafe used to be my favourite cafe in Wenlin area but I went for lunch there today after a few months away and it's really gone downhill (new owners?). The menu was a photocopy, the food was lacklustre and much more expensive than before, the decor was dull and the service so-so. I won't be back there anytime soon.

It's open! And it's free. And its terrific for kids.
The museum is surprisingly interactive (although only 2/3 of the attractions are working) and modern (VR, simulators, touchscreens, etc). Sadly, no English on any of the displays but the fun is in trying to work out how the exhibits work and what they are supposed to be showing. Well worth a visit.
Kunming planning on adding more taxis soon
发布者"More than an hour to hail a cab"?? Even during weekday rush hours I've rarely spent more than 10-15 minutes waiting for a ride. Are you forgetting to wave your hand?? Yes, it's something of a problem, but let's keep it in perspective.

New Kunming airport's first phase nearing completion
发布者Wow! Whatever you think about their methods, and the consequences, the Chinese certainly get things done.
Around Town: Scenes of desolation in 'New Kunming'
发布者For some reason it makes me yearn for "densely packed and poorly planned cities".
Around Town: Yunnan Railway Museum
发布者Really interesting. I've lived in Kunming for years, seen the Museum sign often, but never visited. But it's on my "to do" list now. Those poor ticket sellers may get less knitting done now!
