Thanks for the info Eva!
Thanks for the info Eva. Very useful as we're about to set of for Kunming and then follow the same journey. At the moment there seems to be bus strikes in southern Yunnan so not sure whether buses are running south of Kunming. Will just have to see. Happy travelling : )

Yingcai International School
I wanted to ask you about teaching at the school. I am considering teaching here now. Did you like it? Did you have a housing allowance for off-campus housing? How far is the campus from the downtown area? Anything else you can add would be much appreciated! Thanks!

passport!
when bus conductor says passport he's not really asking for ur passport, before borella there's another bus halt called "punchi borella" (could say little borella) that's where the passport office is. probably thought two foreginers going to get some work done (extend visa n etc) there.

Also in Xiamen
Hi there! I am also a foreigner living in Xiamen. I live in the Huli area. I moved here in October. I have a friend coming to live here in Xiamen next week as well. My apartment is very small and wont be large enough for the two of us for very long. Your place looks great and is much bigger than mine and you only pay a few 100 more RMB than me a month! Would you mind letting me know the area your apartment is in and who you worked with to find it!? It would be very helpful and I'd really appreciate it! My email is Bkswain87@gmail.com or you can get in touch with me via my blog about Xiamen as well :) http://bkswainspace.blogspot.com/

Thanks and more info
Thanks so much for this blog entry. It helped us get from Kunming to Luang NamTha. Some things have already changed, however (which will probably change again by the time the next traveler tries it.) When we traveled, there was one daily bus from Jinghong that left at 10:40 AM (pick-up at the south bus station at 10:55.) They couldn't sell us tickets for the bus until the evening before (maybe they don't know if it runs unless it shows up from Laos the night before.) The ride was good, and we arrived in the center of LNT near the market (instead of the out-of-town bus station) at around 5pm. I suppose the duration of the trip depends on the time spent at the border and/or the number of checks along the way (we never stopped at a weigh station, but made lots of stops to deliver or take on goods.) Cost was 70 RMB. Also, we didn't take the sleeper bus from Kunming to Jinghong, but got a day bus. We bought the ticket at the deserted bus station next to the train station and had to arrive at 8am for a 9am bus (we were shuttled to the bus which was waiting for us outside of town.) Cost was 200 RMB for a normal bus with seats. Arrived in Jinghong at about 6PM. Once again, thanks for the info and best wishes!
