Suits and shoes have recently been on another thread,
some sources are mentioned here

Probably better to get the suit tailor made. Not expensive here.
Where we live the problem is the pipe in the development. It is too small. They lacked vision when they built it.
We wanted to pay extra for a commercial service. China Telecom refused to sell it to us, as our local infrastructure is not up to it.
NB
There is also China Unicom, another provider. I doubt if they are any better as there is no real competition in this market.
I don't know about real time, other than CCTV9. But msnbc.com is pretty up to date.
As is bbc.co.uk.
Both have video
There are no big chains that do bulk purchasing and pass on the discounts here.
There is BestBuy in China (not Kunming yet), but as they have no competition they are not passing on the savings.
There are also a lot of cameras for sale in the computer malls. But beware of fakes. I even saw a fake Cannon store in one city.
The camera shop on Beijing Lu near Ginko does have a reasonable selection of cameras. But there are lots of camera shops in every city.
Aiyaryarr
I will be applying for a Z visa.
Am I correct in thinking that travel agent in KMG can do this, or is this a travel agent in HK?
Do I still have to physically leave China?
Sorry for asking dumb questions.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
Kunming to put 45,000 public use bikes on roads
发布者I have seen lots of these bikes around. I have yet to use any.
From what I can see, you scan the QR code on the bike, which unlocks it. I assume you scan again to re-lock it. I assume billing is by Wechat.
It looks like you don't need to find a bike park, and I assume that the location of the bike is known from the location data from the phone that scans the QR code.
New governor sparks controversy with verbal gaffe
发布者Typo, should read '...institution'
New governor sparks controversy with verbal gaffe
发布者[M]any repeatedly asked the question, "Is there no local official to hold this important office?"
Well most of them are taking a prolonged break, at a government run institute.
Film Review: Shanren mini-doc Qike Ami
发布者Excellent short film. It is nice to see something non-han being featured as central subject, and not merely as a subdivision of Chinese culture.
Kunming trees and utilities still suffering from January cold
