Forums > Living in Kunming > Need to buy laptop

Having almost bought a fake Thinkpad from a big cyber mall last year I am cautious.
Anybody know any trustworthy vendors in KMG?

I really want a laptop with no OS as I want an English language OS loaded on later.

One dynamic that may have been missed.

The rejections may have been carried out by low level local employees.
As an American citizen, and not a local applicant, It would be worth appealing to the American consular staff directly.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Day trips - where to go

Recently bought a car.
Where is worth going that is close to Kunming.

I am thinking of places close enough to go for the day or weekend.
I am especially interested in places off the beaten track.

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.
