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.

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.
Great Britain in Kunming schedule of events
Posted byInvitation only usually means that you need to ask for an invitation. If you are seen as being able to make a useful contribution, or you can show a specific interest in the topic, you will get an invitation.
I have been to events that are flooded with people just handing out business cards, for anything. I have even ejected carpet and curtain salesmen from HR events.
The fully booked will probably be by local officials who don't want to miss out. The reception is usually dinner.
Old town fire quickly contained in Shuhe
Posted byYes I think the old town was all locals, and the new town was all businesses and hotels, bars, etc. I think they abut each other.
But it does seem a little odd that all these fires started in the small hours of the morning. If it was arson I can think of many alternative reasons for this, including protection rackets.
Old town fire quickly contained in Shuhe
Posted byAnother sad event.
At least this time the watercourses, that run through the streets to provide water for fire-fighting, were not built over. As I believe they were in Shangrila.
Yunnan Baiyao finally discloses toxic ingredient
Posted byThere are several deadly natural and synthetic substances that are used in small doses for medicinal purposes.
Bella Donna, digitalis, warfarin, arsenic, spring to mind. I am sure there are many more.
Urban management officers replaced by plants
Posted byYep, there definitely needs to be rules, or at least the enforcement of existing rules.
