Forums > Living in Kunming > Kunming FRAUD

It's a fraud. Follow the advice of others and do not engage. Otherwise, in a few months you'll be posting in this thread again about how you were told to buy a few thousand euros of cigarettes and liquor to secure a contract from a company that disappeared. Seems they really like targeting small Italian architecture and design firms. Why is that? Because of past success? Are Italians far too trusting in biz? Or are Italian small companies desperate for business?

If you can open them as read only, then a simple solution would be to copy and paste your work into a new different word processing program and save it there. There is plenty of freeware out there, like openoffice for example. It's possible another progRam could just open and work with your wps files also. I think OpenOffice is capable of that. I'd suggest backing up your current and future work on a separate drive, so if you're program misbehaves again, you'll have your files in a not messed with condition elsewhere.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Metro to Kunming Train Station exit inside

As far as I can tell, taking the metro to the train station doesn't actually allow you to exit inside the station or even just outside of it.

So, has anyone done a metro trip to the Kunming Main train Station. If so, where do you actually come out and how long is the walk after?

Any hotel in Kunming probably can, but as you venture out to the smaller cities of China, you will find that many hotels are not setup to register foreign guests. When you get very rural, it's actually easier to find lodging as many places then don't bother with registration. The rule is still on the books, but most big city hotels can comply now and most small village ones don't bother. It's 3rd tier non-tourist towns where you tend to encounter this issue.

Wow, only 13 businesses lost and zero death toll. That's the best bad news possible out of a fire in old town. It could of easily been 130 businesses and worst. The might of the Chinese populace. 1000 for the bucket brigade.

Never gotten sick once at Sals. Their food is TexMex, so yeah, not authentic Mexican food, but pretty authentic as TexMex goes. Burrito wrap has improved a lot. Like the draft beer option now.

If you haven't had dairy products in a while, and do eat here, best forgo the sour cream. Nothing wrong with it, in fact it's the best sour cream in Kunming, but if you've eaten Chinese for month or months with no dairy intake, your system will react to sour cream or probably any liquid dairy product not so well. Maybe that's what happened with nailer and tallamerican.

Update:

It's now 5 working days for regular processing. So I submitted my application a bit before 5pm on a Friday and was told to pick it up next week Friday after 5pm.

Cost is now 400rmb for a single 30 day entry. Or that was what I was charged anyways. There are no posted prices and its cash only with no receipt except for your passport pickup. That's like $65 USD.

You can pay another 150rmb for 2 day or 100rmb for 3 day processing. For 400rmb, they should process it in three days like they used to before, but now you'd pay 500rmb. The office is still like deserted most of the time, so why does it take longer now and cost extra. If you opted for 2 day, thats like $90 usd. All other neighboring countries charge like $25usd.

The rest of and cope review is still good for hours and location.

Far out, less people. Big enough to get lost in. Pretty and quiet near dusk. 20yuan entrance fee.

Like everyone else says, best Indian food in Kunming. They have lunch plates and dinner plates. Show up before 1pm for lunch.

They are on the 4th floor of the half empty shopping mall. Best way is too take the elevator past the KFC around the corner from Starbucks.

Most individual dishes can feed only two hungry guys, so order more if you are starving. Naan order can take care of one only.

Five stars for the food. Go with Yereth's recommendations, plus any vegetable the waitress says is fresh.

Beware that Xue Fu lu is one way, so many taxis have to take a roundabout way to get here.
