What city smelled bad? There are 25 provinces in Cambodia.

No idea what he does in Cambodia, he is merely an acquaintance. I just know he is very content because he does not have any visas issues to deal with for him or his chinese wife. He previously lived in Thailand and the visa problems were becoming an issue.

I love hot tropical weather (very healthy). As for shopping malls, I do not see them as a leisure activity, empty people go to shopping malls to kill time or to be entertained and waste money on useless items. Bars and Karaoke is another activity of the boring and addicted. There is lots to see and do in Cambodia. Great place to be if one likes nature. With 25 provinces to choose from I cannot imagine anyone can be bored in Cambodia. Great people.

Laos is another great choice but the visa quickly becomes an issue if one wants to stay long term.

I have an acquaintance that has been living in Cambodia for 3 years with his Chinese wife. The visa issue is great for both of them as they do not need to work or put money in the bank as they do in Thailand. They can get either a 6 month or 1 year visa without any problems. Cambodia is inexpensive, not like Japan or Korea. Korea has never appealed to me, mainly because of the cold weather. As you stated earlier, Japan is very expensive and too crowded.

Just yesterday I watched something about this on the bus. The Customs folks stopped and confiscated a few big trucks on the road from Puer. The trucks were not refridgerated so this is one of the cause of the problems. So if the meat did make it in to its final destination it had to be repacked and refrozen after the long trip. Perhaps the meat in the center of the truck can keep but surely not the meat on top or the sides.

Since I live on Zhao Zong Road I decided to pay this reservoir a visit via bus #7 which is 2 stops from my home.

The first thing I noticed is that there is plenty of constructuion going on - a new retaining wall is being built as well as a brand new pumping faciltiy with several large pipes to divert the water.

At the time this article was written, this reservoir may have just been a pond but that is no longer the case. "There are no pumping facilities or drains at Zhaozong Reservoir — it is simply a large pond".

The construction workers said that because water is such a precious commodity in Kunming every drop will be put to use in the near future.

Bus #7 to the Zhao Zong Yi Zu Cun Kou Bus Stop. Turn left when you see the Long Hua Temple a few meters before the main entrance to Sen Lin Hu = Forest Lake = 森林湖.

There were at least 20 redundant signs on the walking trail every 10 meters that clearly read - NO SWIMMING!

The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.
