Last Thursday the 18th of June, the new airport in Kunming opened for business. 

It is a little far from the city and can take about 40 minutes to get there. Although we miss the old airport because of how close it was to the city center, the new airport attracts lots of people, which is great for Kunming. As you know, the new airport, Changshui, is the fourth largest in China; as such, it will bring lots of business to the city.

When the teaching supervisor, Sheila, came to the new airport to pick up the first student, she found that there were several special telephones in front of the gates. 
As it turns out, these phones stations allow full 3-minute local call and free 10-minute internet sessions. So if you ever encounter any trouble upon arriving, these telephones should be very useful.

Corey, who comes from U.S.A, arrived in Kunming last Thursday. He is also the first student to arrive at the new airport. After meeting Sheila, they took a photo together to remeber the first moment shared in the Changshui airport.
