If my memory is correct it is a 30 day extension and can only be done once.
That is right, I have a Chinese Visa card, that is Union Pay. It was not accepted in the two car hire places I tried in UK. Both were using the World Pay card reading system.
I will have a recce of the area, thanks.
I use translate.google.cn on my laptop.
Google translate app on my phone, not blocked and it has character recognition that works through the camera.
I also use Pleco app on the phone. All free and accessible.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.

Popular night market locations closed, ban appears permanent
Posted byWhat is really annoying is that if you park on the side of the road, that does not have designated yellow bays, you can get a ticket. Even if the road is empty and you are not causing any kind of obstruction. Whereas, if you park on the sidewalk, no ticket.

Kunming to put 45,000 public use bikes on roads
Posted by299 deposit. So I am in effect buying a bike, and paying a small fee to allow me to ride it around the city and then park it anywhere and walk away.
I understand the need to fund the scheme upfront, but I would prefer it if my rental fees were drawn down against my deposit, until used up. Why? Because if the scheme goes belly up I would not see my deposit returned.
Sorry if this sounds cynical, but I have not had enough bikes of mine stolen yet to make me blasé about giving others my money.
