The "No Inspiration Bar" 无灵吧
The restaurant is called Hanshe (寒舍), it's on the Lijingyuandonglu (丽景园东路). Check out this place, it's absolutely my favorite Chinese food in the north of Kunming. And get yourself a VPN!

I don't think so, I'm reading it's possible to get a 12 months multiple entry F-visa, as long as you get your hands on a magic piece of paper called: 被授权单位签证通知表. And I'm keen to find out where I can get one of those...
A company in Kunming is willing to back me for applying for a business visa (F). I want to apply for it in the embassy in Holland, where I'm from. Obviously I'd like a 12 or 6 months visa with multiple entries. I heard the company has to get an "official notification", in Chinese it's called: 被授权单位签证通知表. Does anyone know where to get those? The PSB-office in Kunming don't have them.
No results found.
This place is without doubt my favorite restaurant in Kunming. It is truly Simao-style, but adds its own unique touch. The ingredients vary per week and the ingredients are all carefully sourced in specific markets or brought straight from the mountains. Their wild vegetables are always sweeter than other places in Kunming. There are plaques on the wall that say: "we don't feel the need to enhance the flavor with weijing or jijing, we do our best to source the best natural foods for you". You will not see any grease after finishing the plate, not even with the deep fried dishes. They are very flexible with ordering combinations and the super-friendly owner-chef will be happy to step out of the kitchen and give you some great advice. If he has time, because this place is crowded on most evenings. Service is friendly and attentive (but it is still Kunming). You get free home-made kimchi and apple vinegar with all meals. They have cold Fenghuaxueyue beer. Without doubt a safe Chinese eatery, really delicious food, friendly people who are passionate about their product. A true gem, in my opinion.
I heard Richland Hospital has proper testing material.
I think the medical staff is of the same level as other Kunming healthcare facilities. I needed to translate some specifics of a medical report I got in another specialized hospital. I wanted to do this by letting the Richland doctor have a phone call with the specialized doctor that had done the tests. I came in and there sat a young physician with a translating nurse. When the phone call to the other hospital wasn't successful he wanted to have look at the report himself. I asked if that would make sense if he wasn't a doctor that was specialized in that specific field. He told me he wanted to have a look anyway. To my horror, he promptly misdiagnosed me with a truly appalling disease. When I came home I was puzzled. I didn't have any symptoms, how could I have something that serious. I checked the internet and found out that the condition that he described DIDN'T EVEN EXIST. Well, I have to give him, he had me stressing out there for a minute. I wanted to confront him with his mistake but apparently all the doctors had taken the weekend off. Eventually, in combination with my visit to the other state run facility, I was in constant uncertainty and stress over the period of 4 days for something that turned to be NOTHING. I had NOTHING.
Please use the highest level of common sense in dealing with local healthcare. The situation is grim. Best to let them test (if the facilities are ok) and make conclusions and decisions by yourself, if serious ask a physician in another country. Never blindly trust anything they say.
Really friendly people, very tasty proper Indian food, all made with fresh ingredients and very reasonably priced.
For sure the best Indian food in town!
Kunming Environmental Court toiling in obscurity
发布者This should certainly be one of the most important court houses instead of the most obscure.
I thought the guys responsible for polluting the Yangzonghai received the death sentence, but I might have been wrong. Anyone information on this?

Governor: Provincial highway bathrooms China's worst
发布者I actually think there are some pretty posh shit houses along the highways. Then when the road narrows, it gets less hygienic. Just only touch the place with the soles of your feet and get it over with. And make sure you don't drop your phone. The only thing I can't take (worse then maggots trying to climb onto your feet) is that some places are "cleaned" with ammonia and I can't stand its excruciating smell.

发布者Didn't this website employ a moderator? Typical to see so many completely irrelevant comments out there on the most interesting interview that I have ever read on this website.
Thanks for these interesting stories and updates. I'm looking forward to read Jim's new books!
