575 Beijing Road Kunming, Yunnan, China, 650011, (0871)-3133015
Ok, we stayed at the bar a little late, didn't pack and forgot to set our alarm. So when our guide called our room at 6:35 am (5 minutes after we were supposed to be checked out) things were a little hectic. We did a rush pack job and were soon on our way to the airport. Even though we got there a little late the line up wasn't too bad and we made it through just on time, although the hang over on the plane wasn't all that fun. We had a new guide in Kunming and she informed us that hotel wasn...

Näin toiseksi viimeisenä iltana on hyvä miettiä Kiinan hyviä ja huonoja puolia matkustusmaana. Puolentoista kuukauden matkustuskokemuksella tässä Kiinan plussat ja miinukset: <br><br><br>PLUSSAT:<br>-Ruoka, majoitus ja matkustaminen maan sisällä on edullista<br>-Kiinalainen keittiö! Monipuolista, maukasta ja jännittävää ruokaa niin halutessaan<br>-Upeita nähtävyyksiä riittää, niin kulttuurihistoriallisia kuin luonnonnäht ...

There was a 'no spitting' sign inside the carriage, which meant that most people went into the toilet section. Unfortunately for us - we were in the last beds - right next to the door to the toilets. So, not only did we have the pleasure of the morning chorus of spitting, but also the frequent waft of the morning pee! To top it all off - it seems that the Chinese on our ...

The environmental protection bureau of Kunming, Yunnan's capital, announced this March that the volume of arsenic had been lowered from 0.128 mg per liter to 0.111 mg per liter. But Qin Guangrong, Yunnan's provincial governor, estimated that it would take three years to bring the density to a safe level, below 0.05 mg per liter, which cost about 4 billion yuan (about 0.6 billion U.S. dollars).
Kunming, Yunnan, China happysheepOur street (Yi Er Yi Da Jie) is the main street to go to if you want to buy computer stuff, its a mile of nothing but computer shops so it doesn't exactly have the best neighborhood vibe! But you keep going and after another 10 minutes you get to the popular street for expats, Wen Lin Jie, it has lots of nice cafes and a few bars. We come here everyday and are starting to meet people ...
Kunming, Yunnan, China countesskI've been feeling a little low recently. There's been lots going on in my life - some stresses - with problems from people, dogs, early plane departures, etc. But now I read that Yunnan is stepping up its energy production for the rest of China. Already we are damming as many blooding rivers as possible to build huge hydro electric projects - partly to stop silting up further down the Yangtze - but now we are getting into solar and wind power projects. Now this ...
Kunming, Yunnan, China happysheep... Canadian dudes Dan and Conor staying at the hostel. Dan has recently left the financial sector in Toronto and Conor, who recently completed his undergrad in biology, is delaying the inevitable and on the road for some time. Until I met these guys, for the first time, I was feeling a form of homesickness. In all my travels, I have never felt more useless communication-wise than in China. My time in Kunming also coincided with the longest I had been away from the ...
Kunming, Yunnan, China chiapoe... and I'm slowly getting my pronunciation closer to the real thing. My room in the school is pretty nice. Random quirks though do include the padded red leather toilet seat complete with embroidered flowers, the shower that drains out of the bathroom door instead of down the plughole, and the noise operated lights in the corridor which seem to respond only to clapping (talking, shouting, stamping, clicking etc just don't cut it). I am on the sixteenth floor ...
