Hi, I posted before about moving to Kunming in September, and had a few more questions...
Does anyone know when Yunnan Normal Univ. starts the fall term?
Does anyone know anyone that needs a flatmate? I'm thinking of paying in the range of 800-1000 yuan a month for my own room. Please help, I'd rather get this squared away before I get there. I'm pretty laid back and easy to get along with, I promise!
Finally, if anyone wants to grab a beer or two when I get there (Aug 27th-ish), I'd be all ears about the goings-on...feel free to drop me a line. (jasper_liao@yahoo.com)
Thanks!
Jasper
hey Jasper, the number of YNU is 86-871-5516023, i just gave them a call, so let me answer your question:
1.Aug 22nd-26th is the time for new student register. Aug 29th class begin.
2. 800-1000 RMB /month is enough to rent any good aparment, no need to share with others. with this price, you can rent an apartment near the university with 2 bedroom/one living room/kichen/toilet/furniture , so if you share with someone,only have to pay 400-500.
good luck

This photo shows locals spending their afternoon, fishing at Dian Chi Lake, what a relaxing life!!!
They were staring at the 2 foreigners (LaoWuai) walking with me, and whenever we weave to them, they will weave back with smiles. This is very nice. I never experience this when I travelling in China, perhaps this is a special treats to LaoWuai only.
Discover the zeal of learning the English language in China.
Thursday evening: Take a walk around Cui Hu along the east side of the lake. You will bump into a huge group of chinese speaking English to one another. It's quite a surprising experience.
Talk to them. And you will find yourself cornered soon, especially if you are a traveller.
In my Lijiang transport tips, I mentioned there is a luxury bus service that operates out of Kunming.
YNTAC (I don't know what that stands for) operates Volvo buses equipped with airconditioning, and a television with DVD/VCD. Here are the cities served and prices as of July 2003:
Dali 103 yuan
Lijiang 151
Gejiu 60
Kaiyuan 50
Chuxiong 30
Yuxi 21
Qujing 35
Xuanwei 50
Of course these prices are higher than regular buses, but it is up to you to decide if the extra price is worth it. I took the bus to Lijiang and was very satisfied with the experience and got a free lunch at a nice hotel along the ride in Dali. So if you don't mind spending the extra money, it is a good way to travel in comfort.
This is not really food on a stick, but more like food in a stick.
Zhu Tong Fan is rice steamed a bamboo stalk, A traditional Bai minority group food. Rice mix with some nuts of some sort and steam inside the shoot.
People seemed to ignore
cotton candy man and preferred Zhu Tong Fan.Like just about anything in China, you can be purchase off the back of a bike. I had not seen to many of these Zhu Tong Fan venders around.
They were selling for 1 RMB a shoot, but before you could eat your Zhu Tong Fan, the vender would have to break it open with a hammer to expose the steamed rice. Because it is cooked under pressure the rise in compacted and more like a chewy paste The only item on the menu!
The caves are formed over 600 million year ago. You can see fascinating staclatites and staclamites in the "Goddess Palace" (Shennugong) cave. With a little bit of imagination, you can see statues of goddesses congregating in their heavenly abodes.
There's also a Bat cave as well as other interesting caves. Also note the "holes" in the rocks formed by erosion (air bubbles generated by the rapid waters running through the caves drill into the rocks to form the holes)
