mr.stinky Posted August 15, 2008 at 07:04 AM Report Posted August 15, 2008 at 07:04 AM Hi all, just completed my move to Baise, small town lacking in a few things......coffee, cheese, butter...... anyway, Nanning is only 2.5 hours by train and/or bus, so i suppose a monthly overnight trip for needed vittles or just to escape may be in order. will be doing some net research first, probably a trip next week. so far, i'm aware of at least two wally worlds in nanning, as well as a small western food store (the pantry). how about metro or carrefour? Anyone spent time here and can recommend a hospital? or any advice, really..... thanks........ Quote
imron Posted August 15, 2008 at 07:22 AM Report Posted August 15, 2008 at 07:22 AM small town lacking in a few things......coffee,cheese, butter. You should just head down to Liuzhou. They've apparently got all those there Quote
liuzhou Posted August 16, 2008 at 01:24 AM Report Posted August 16, 2008 at 01:24 AM (edited) Indeed we do. However, he'd have to pass through Nanning to get here from Baise. The Pantry is good. Walmart doesn't have much in the way of western food. I've heard good things about the hospital attached to Guangxi Medical University - The First Affiliated Hospital (第一附属医院). It's at 6 Shuangyong Road (双拥路). It is supposedly the best in Guangxi. We've got hospitals in Liuzhou, too! Edited August 16, 2008 at 01:40 AM by liuzhou Quote
blueyankee445 Posted August 24, 2008 at 08:51 AM Report Posted August 24, 2008 at 08:51 AM Nanning has a hospital just a few blocks from the train station,and there is a WalMart food store about twenty minutes on the bus,or longer,as the streets are very congested and the buses do not pass each other.The people do not give you room when you are walking in the bicycle lanes,and small streets.Everybody is in a hurry. Be careful. Quote
mr.stinky Posted August 24, 2008 at 12:17 PM Author Report Posted August 24, 2008 at 12:17 PM thanks for the info. stopped by the hospital early morning here, just concerned about some recent heart palpitations. woke the doctor and tried to have an ekg done. clamps at wrist and ankles, no problem, but the little suction cup leads wouldn't work with chest hair. well, doc, how 'bout you take a listen with yer stethyscope. umm, we don't have one, sorry. med supply store across the street gots em for 19 rmb. will take my own next time, maybe donate one to the menzhen.

liuzhou Posted August 24, 2008 at 01:57 PM Report Posted August 24, 2008 at 01:57 PM Nanning has a hospital just a few blocks from the train station Nanning, like most cities, has a hospital a few blocks from almost anywhere. 90% of advertisements on bus stops, buses, street signs are for hospitals. It doesn't mean they are good! They are after the cash! I can think of several brothels within blocks of Nanning station. So? MrStinkey. PM me. I have suggestions. Quote
mr.stinky Posted August 24, 2008 at 03:27 PM Author Report Posted August 24, 2008 at 03:27 PM so they gots brothels a few blocks from the station.....are they any good, or just after the cash? and which brothels would you suggest provide "service with a smile?" Quote
