Forums > Living in Kunming > Getting a Mac fixed?

I think you can get it fixed in the mainland..I am sure in Beijing at least. I had a buddy there that had a mac he got in the USA. After a night of drinks we all went back to this guys house. made cocktails and he got out his computer for music....Then a whole pint glass of rum and coke made its home on his computer! totally ruined! turns out he had about 2 weeks left on the warranty(supper lucky!!!) cleaned it up best he could and took it to the apple store. They fixed it, no questions..had it back to him in a week or 2!

Forums > Living in Kunming > Teacher at university : scam ?

It is not a scam. They offered a job and you accepted. I would get some part time work, If you work another 16hr somewhere it would be better. 3200rmb is just (or not) enough just to live a life and have fun a couple nights a month!!

I would look to double that to have any sort of social life( go out drinking and eating a couple times a week).

Forums > Living in Kunming > Do famous artists ever perform in KM?

I did think about it.. I was going to try to bring out a bigger hip hop Dj. But ultimately I put the numbers together and decided i did not want to take on the risk. Now that i have lived here a while and been around the scene a little bit, I am glad i did not. hahaha Like i said before, I am not sure that Kunming is the place for something to take off like that right now...I bet in 3-5 years It would look better...Chengdu is way better then it was 3 years ago! I dont think people in kunming would pay the big ticket price you would need to make money right now..of course for a huge Chinese pop star they would! Like you were saying if somebody wanted to try, I would love to help..at the least I could get in contact with some talent. But I don't think i would do it, .....right now, anyways.

I have meet a few directors(and such) from the gov...Their salary can be less then a English teacher ...they get almost all their money from kickbacks and bribes..which can be A LOT!! So he may have not gotten gov checks, He almost certainly got money from people looking to open companies and things. The balls on this guy are pretty massive!

After all those videos in the past few years of Chinese people being totally nonchalant about the suffering of their countrymen(remember the one where like 3 cars ran over a little girl and 30 people walked by before anyone helped).. this is really nice to read. I hope this gets out to the rest of china....Its better that they help each other :)

This is a place where i was let down ...While the price is great ...even super cheap on the half price day...The pizza itself was like something you would get at a 7-11. While drunk in a last ditch effort to soak up some booze before you pass out. The cheese was the main offender! Service was friendly if not helpful...really was not going to come from behind the counter unless He really had to!

Oreillys is another place i have enjoyed. Prices are fair and the food is tasty! Burger was legit!! fish and chips not bad either. Guy that runs the place seems like a nice dude. ....Only thing that I would say was not on point is the environment.The bar itself looks awesome (maybe even a little too clean). What i mean is, You walk into the bar and all the staff (like 5+) are just standing there starring into space. In the corner there is like an owners crew speaking in french. Our waiter asked us if the food was good like 5 times.hahahah One of these things would not matter but all together makes a bizarre atmosphere. All in all will be back for sure..

A little bored during the holiday...So I feel like reviewing the spots i have ate at so far......First the good, Sals is great! Everything I have had was nice. I have read on this site that people think it is expensive ...I am not one of them. Prices are totally fair for what you get! Not to mention IPA, reason enuff for me to hang out. Also the staff is super nice ...the other day i saw some drunken girl throw a cocktail at the staff ..they just cleaned it up and brought us new drinks(people sitting next to her)..much nicer then I would have been!! hahahah
