Use EMS There are several drop off points in every city. Not been in KMG long enough to find my nearest yet.
This is government owned courier service.
Cheap, fast, reliable.
I have used them a lot and never had a problem.
You won't find many big old houses like the French Concession. But Green Lake (Cui Hu) is moving in that direction. Accomodation around the lake and just south of it varies from crappy concrete to modern apartments of about 120-180 sqm. The larger modern apts are about 5-8000 rmb/month, some have a view of the lake. I have also seen nice loft accommodation come up.
Most of the bars and restaurants haunted by expats are on WenHua Xiang and WenLin Jie. The accommodation in this area is pretty basic concrete and small. This is about 1km north of Green Lake. Close to Yunnan uni.
Also, from S of Green Lake, it is a 2-3km walk to the city centre, and a whole new bar and restaurant area has sprung up on route.
I am looking for men's summer hats. Like quality straw panama hats. Anybody know where or how much?
We used Asian Express to move us from a tier 3 city to Kunming. Even though they have not presence in Kunming, they will move you.
Asian Express is a removals company that does international. They are very professional and what is more, responsible. In a previous move they mislaid something (non valuable) and actually checked all the links of the route and recovered it about 3 days later. Asian Express is double the price of hiring a local crew. A 1000km move with 30cu.m cost us about 25k RMB.
We used a local company when we moved from Shenzhen. Really just a guy with a truck and labourers. They lost boxes and really did not give a flying fig. I am sure stuff was stolen and the boss may have been part of it. We also had to arrange our own unloaders at the other end.
We have used Asian Express twice now and would definitely use them again. It is worth the extra money for the peace of mind.
Q: Do you have any children from a previous marriage?
A: No.
Q: Do you have ANY children?
A: No that I know of.
The point is that it is easy to prove if you have children, but as a man it is almost impossible to prove that you don't.
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.

发布者Today in Dianchi, I can not only see a brown tinge to the colour of the sky, I can smell the burning.
Great Britain in Kunming schedule of events
发布者If you mean the food event finished earlier, I was at the hotel on Wednesday and did not see any evidence of a promotion.

发布者I am sure someone was talking about getting their burger fix on another thread yesterday. As such the notion of food culture imperialism is a bit incongruous.

发布者One of the biggest problems in controlling fire will be the strong winds we are having recently.

发布者BK maybe not so comparatively bad after all.
The problem I have with looking at additives that are used in the EU/US is that the dosing of the chemicals is carefully controlled. I am not sure many back street factories would have so much control of how much of certain things go into a product. Possibly why the government introduced the 'no additives in fresh foods' policy.
