Forums > Living in Kunming > Shipping food back to America

I have a question.... I'm trying to send a "Chinese Care Package" back to a friend who lives in America, and just recently left China.
Anyways, before I try to send it, I was wondering if anyone knew any rules about sending food/dvds overseas? I'm trying to send a bag of peanuts, some tea, hot pot flavoring, and a few dvds.

Thanks!

Yeah, they have Pure Vanilla Extract there but it is SO expensive. Like 50 kuai for 1 small bottle. No vanilla beans though!!

Does anyone know where to find Vanilla Beans in Kunming?
I'd like to try making my own Vanilla Extract.

Thanks

I thought it would be fun for everyone to share their favorite Chinese food on this post- I've never been able to find a good, comprehensive list of foods to order at a Chinese Restaurant.

Please give the pinyin and Chinese characters!

Hi everyone,
My boyfriend and I are vegetarians and we are looking for new dishes to order at restaurants. It seems like we always order the same things!
The pinyin/chinese characters would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your help
