Ritta - Glad to see that someone cares about this. It is unfortunate that many young chinese people pay more attention to Feb 14 (western) rather then their own holidays. Feb 14 is very commercialized so more people are reminded of this day as opposed to 7/7. I wish China can Forget or Ignore Feb 14 altogether. Same goes for Xmas and Santa Claus.
@laotou - Well stated. - USA = 300 Million + China = 1.3 Billion
Prison population? Violent Crime? Mental Illness? Drug abuse? Population on Psychotropic Drugs? Effectiveness of Education? Govt Corruption? Wars of Aggression? Mass Shootings? Police Brutality? This is exactly why more and more foreigners want to come to China - to get away from all this.
More info on Vietnam Consulate - If you call, there is no one who speaks English. English speakers only when you visit the office.
Wondering what reasons different people have for coming to LIVE in China. I am NOT asking about tourists who come to travel or students who come to attend school.
Anyone who has watched just a few episodes of Lie To Me, or anyone with a counseling or psycholgy background, can easily see that Chief Oates is lieing. His demeanor, affect, body language, change in posture, when receiving and answering and avoiding questions is very clear.

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.
Yunnan's Stone Treasure: Shibao Mountain
Posted byYou can rent a taxi from Jianchuan for 200 Yuan. The taxi will take you to all 3 temples and bring you back to Jianchuan.
You can also do the entire loop for 250 Yuan. Jianchuan to Shi Bao Shan then on to Shaxi and then back to Jianchuan.
I recommend you stay an extra day and climb 1000 Lion Mountain. I really like this place.

Yunnan preparing warily for China smoking ban
Posted byI have seen many changes over the last 10 years here in Kunming. Although smoking still has a long way to go, it is much improved than it was in the past.
Most taxis are now 100% smoke free. Street buses are 100% smoke free now. Long distance buses are also 100% smoke free. The only problem still seems to be the small buses that go to the villages.

Posted byMy wife just translated this article for me. This is our little critter as it mentions our residential quarter. Glad to see he has a few more days of life in the wilderness before someone else recaptures him.
