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.
How long is each stay?
No results found.
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.

New high-speed rail line to link Kunming with Dali
Posted byLife in Yunnan just keeps getting better. A 2 hour train ride to Dali is a lot better then taking the 4-5 hour bus ride. Not to mention the delays when there is a traffic accident.

Posted byEveryone needs to contribute - Now it begins - Yes, we must contribute but when the population does not make their deadline (Dec 31), we must pay - another tax coming just around the corner.
Just like life insurance in the good old USA, you will pay for it whether you want it or not. If you don't pay, they just steal it out of your bank account.
Agenda 21 - controlled by the UN (1 World Govt) will be in charge.
The Global Warming Lie has now conveniently morphed into Climate Change since the weather did not cooperate with the CO2 lies.
Funny how there is no mention of the real problems in the world. The EPA raises the safety limits on poisons every year so that the multinational companies can continue to pollute and make a profit. In the meantime, we get to eat, drink and breathe more pollutants.
Snapshot: Dali and Weishan
Posted byThere are several noodle shops that are still run by very old people. I saw a beautiful OLD noodle machine (at least 50-70 years old) in one shop and I would love to buy it (Keep an eye on the obituaries). It just needs to be cleaned up because it has decades of flour stuck on it and it will make a wonderful addition to a home museum.
Weishan has not been commercialized yet. Any smart foreigner with some business savy can buy up a lot of antiques very cheaply and make a great cafe/museum/information center/guesthouse like the one in Xishuangbanna; he has his fingers in every pot.
Lots to see in the surrounding area - great place to retire, still make an income, and be the #1 laowai of the town.
Heijing offers the same.
