I had a few questions to ask anyone who might be able to help me... Does anyone know someone who needs a housemate for Sept. on? I'm looking to have my own room, but otherwise would like to share a place. I've heard that paying 60-70 USD a month per person isn't out of the question, but I don't know for sure. Does anyone know of a martial arts teacher in Kunming? I read a review on this site about a guy that teaches out of Dali, but since I'll be living in Kunming I think that would be an excessive commute (unless he teaches the 5 point palm exploding heart technique :) ). How is the YNU Mandarin course for foreigners? I've been trying to ask my contact at YNU about course schedules, classes, and other details but haven't really gotten much of a response. Thanks in advance for your help, and if anyone wants to hang out when I get to KM, drop me a line. Thanks again Jasper

Wocca has left Kunming now. Good luck getting some info. I'll fill you in with all I know. The Hump guesthouse is a great place to find information on all the things you asked. There is Kunfu classes posted here. I've heard that Kunming is one of the best places to study in China. The weather is good, the people are nice, and its cheap. As for an apartment. I am also looking for someone to get a place with. When you arrive we can meet and then decide from there. Anyways there is a ton of postings and either Camilla hotel or The hump, its not hard to find a flat mate.
You can try and ask Wocca about the program at the Uni, he worked there, if you cant get anything tell me and I'll make a stop there.

Good luck and see ya soon
Kyle
