I've been using Witopia for a year with no problems, but in the past week I'm having trouble connecting to many of their servers. Tech support helped me get a connection on one by modifying the config file, but the problem seems to have spread to their other servers now.
I guess that depends on how you define expensive.
seeing the doctor is pretty cheap (about 6 yuan). Blood tests and ultrasound can be a few hundred. CT scan was 1,600 if I remember correctly.
Hospitalization for 8 days and two times in surgery for angiography and insertion of the stent was over 35,000.
Yan'an hospital has a good cardio unit, but you may have a problem finding an English speaking doctor there.
My wife had to go there recently to treat a blocked artery (which doctors in Toronto failed to diagnose) but the blockage was so close to the heart they brought in a top specialist from Guangzhou.
On the downside, their toilet facilities suck!
Shoes can be difficult. I have not yet found a shop that measures your feet to see what size you need and help to find it.
For suits I found a place on Renmin Dong Lu across from Yan'an Hospital where I got a custom made cashmere suit PLUS two extra pair of wool dress pants for 1,300. The suit alone was 900. They charge by the meter for the material plus a fee to make it. Took a week but I bet they could do it quicker if there was a rush.
I have to agree completely with Tigertiger on this one. I had the filling done (it was supposed to be temporary). I'm not entirely sure if the filling fell out when the tooth broke or if the tooth broke because the filling fell out, but it's the same end result.
Fortunately there is enough of the tooth left to insert the pin required for the crown.
No results found.
Had my first ever visit to Slice of Heaven last night for a group party. Barbara recognized me as a newcomer and immediately came to welcome me and introduce herself.
While speaking with her at the counter, a server walked past with a pizza for one table. The aroma immediately caught my attention. It was awesome.
Our group shared 4 different pizzas. All were amazing. I think the sauce really makes the difference since it was very flavourful. I also put back to cups of cappuccino. I guess they must have fixed problems noted in other reviews because I found it to be quite good.
If I lived closer I would be a regular here.
Yuxi-Mengzi: China's newest railway
发布者Geezer, here's a quote from the article: "This is a good thing. Being able to board the new train directly at Kunming's main train station"
Li Ping fundraiser
发布者There are two types of dialysis machines. My mother had a peritoneal machine in her home. It used the same kind of water used in IV drips, but in much larger bags. A nurse came to her home each evening to connect it and each morning to disconnect. There was some surgery required to insert the connections in her abdomen.
When that was no longer working they chose to go with hemodialysis, but they would not do that at home - only hospital. I don't know if that has changed in the past 10 years.

Kunming battling Chinglish
发布者At a shop near our apartment we found a sign with Kunming spelled incorrectly!
How bad is Kunming's air?
发布者I flew into Kunming Sunday afternoon. There were fluffy white clouds, all nestled in a sea of grey. It was not pretty.
