Hi

On your train schedules page I noticed that there wasn't any information about trains to Lhasa. I realise that this train line has only recently been opened so maybe that is why. Can you tell me any information about travelling to Lhasa by train from Chengdu and how much it would be one way to travel hard sleeper or soft sleeper.

Kind regards

Rich

Housing

At the lower end of the market a 60 sq/m furnished apartment in a relatively new complex, located close to the city centre costs about 700-800 per month, on a 1-year contract. Check if the heating and management fee are included in the rent. At the higher end, a new 140 sq/m unfurnished centrally located apartment would cost in the region of 3000 per month ex utilities.

Of course, you will need to register at the local police station when moving, and I have heard stories of local police refusing to register foreigners in certain parts of the city, effectively preventing them moving into the district.

not many places possible in Kunming. It's clean but not so cheap, and the welcome is like the building and rooms: quite industrial and not quiet at all.

Review of 阿酷咖啡 by maomaomao (20)，2006年12月7日

 最地道的云南小粒咖啡，我是在丽江古城的阿酷咖啡品尝到的。
   如果我没记错，应该是离大水车不远，靠左走直走过去，新义街的第一个拐弯吧，往卖草场去的那个小巷，路边还有一条小河，和听说比较有名的BLUE PAGE相比，我更喜欢阿酷咖啡馆的安静，楼下随意布置的茶几和座位，清晨去时，阳光悄悄地泄进屋里。楼上一般人是比较多的，风景特别好，满眼都是山上的青瓦绿树，视线开阔，有一台电闹，还有诸多的杂志书籍，让大家随意翻看。没什么事的时候，独自一人抱了本书躲在2层，懒散地倚在沙发上，点一杯云南小粒咖啡，不过才十几元钱，品起来却比酒吧一条街里淡若白水的蓝山咖啡香浓。听着轻柔的音乐，好像这个世界上再没有什么烦心的事情......雨不知何时下了起来，淅沥哗啦地打断了我的惬意，趴在窗台上，低头看看小巷子里躲雨奔跑的人群，抬头看看隔巷相望的不远处的特色的檐角，时间好像为我而静止。
