Forums > Living in Kunming > Kiwi Douche

As a fellow kiwi, I can see how this could be misconstrued. What obviously happened here is he accidentally dropped his 165kg weight onto a petrol tanker and is trying to cover his ass. I know that when I am benching 223kg and drop it, I have to catch it with my foot lest it falls onto an accelerant and wreaks deadly mayhem. The fact he finished his set (and I am sure he can provide falsified workout sheets to prove it) absolves him of all responsibility.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Fake Apple Store in Kunming

"According to Apple's website, the company has four official retail locations in China, two in Beijing and two in Shanghai"

I am sure there is a REAL apple store in Kunming. I swear I was in one in the flash new mall in town... the one with the New Zealand ice cream shop! Anyone else know the one I am talking about? It has pride of place as you walk into the malls ground floor level. When I was in it they were selling iPhones, iPads, Mac book pro/air/normal, the all in one PC's etc etc etc. I am pretty sure they were legit.

Although Apple is a pretty good company for marketing and advertising, it may be their website isn't up to date yet.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Is Kundu safe?

I have been there a few times with Chinese friends. I find it to be a little different to western clubs (more tables, less dance floor... due to the owners wanting people to drink more probably = money money come my home!) but still really fun! I don't go to hook up, just for a laugh and a drink. Sometimes I go with my Chinese girlfriend too who I think doesn't really like the atmosphere so much and sees the social pressures there more than me. Every time I go there I TRY to buy some drinks, but usually the people I am with don't allow me to. I have never actually been able to buy a drink yet which for me is quite frustrating and the only really bad part of going.

But other than that, they play dice games and talk shit a lot! Just what I am after! The dance shows that happen are awesome sometimes, I remember one laser light show - a dancer with mirrors over their body playing with the lights - kick ass.

Never felt threatened or anything though, seems to always be lots of happy (sometimes due to alcohol!) people out to have a good time. Quite a few dudes looking to hook up, but you can always tell them by their serious assessing eyes and their over confident attitudes. Same as in the west. This is quite fun to watch sometimes (particularly when one of your friends is a beautiful Chinese girl that is a trained dancer who doesn't mind showing off in front of the crowd!). Chatting to these guys sometimes is a bit of a laugh, they like talking to foreigners usually and it breaks down their barriers a bit.

Any plans to use the plants they scoop up for power generation and fertiliser?

They may not wish to use the plants as a fuel source though - creating an industry based on the stuff you want to eradicate e may mean you never eradicate it...

What do you do HFCAMPO that justifies your existence as a clearly well off foreigner in a relatively poor area of the world?

Your answer better include working with orphaned drug addicted lepers or you may just fall off your high horse.

And how do/did you make the money you have? It better not have been through the capitalist system you so despise...

So fast, so convenient. One star off for opening before the train station stop is connected!

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!
