Forums > Living in Kunming > Bring in Mangosteen from Thailand

I have found that the vendors I use say jin, but actually mean gongjin. IE, the vendors confuse the two. Easy to check, by just repeating back using gongjin in your response. I have only ever had nods of agreement. I have not seen jin (500g) used for over 10 years.
Others may have had a different experience.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Wenshan/Malipo Travel Advice (Driver/Translator)

Car, yes. You can always find a driver for a fee in towns. You might even get a daily rate from a taxi driver. Perhaps your friend knows someone, who knows someone, etc.
Translator, possibly not in Malipo. You will probably find a translator who is willing to travel with you from Kunming, if you pay for transport and accommodation. They will then be able to assist with getting train/bus tickets, hotel, etc.

Try putting a classified ad on Gokunming - Wanted Translator for travel in Wenshan.
I do see people advertising here who offer translation and assistance type help. Possibly uni students. You should get a response to an ad.

I checked and it was still available yesterday. Not sure of minimum period. But three months makes a nice change from the usual minimum of 12.

Yes this is a high tisk period, and yes there have been problems in the past, but I think the HuaXia bank scandal last year put the cat among the pigeons for wealth management schemes in China.

Because there are so few investment opportunities, combined with so few people willing to invest, and with recent regulatory changes the banks need to/have to move money in the markets. This has opened up some more attractive products at the moment.
We have just been offered 5.5% projected annual growth for a wealth management product, and get this, the principle is protected (you cannot lose your original investment). You can invest for limited periods too. We invested for 3 months, as we have some spare cash for that period. I think you can invest for as little as one month.

NB This is not a recommendation for people to go out and invest, it is just a bit of information on another related trend in the market at the moment.

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.
