I used to enjoy going to bars but the experience has become stale to me. A couple of my best friends left Kunming, leaving me bored and wanting to find new things to do. If anyone is interested in playing tennis/badminton or some games at Game Cafe, PM me. Also interested in other suggestions.

Ultimate frisbee, cycling and bowling if you're into that sort of thing. Check the events section

I'd be happy finding a bar that is smoke-free. Does such a thing exist here?

Try Toastmasters! Fun - - and rewarding.

@Shyam. Short answer? No.

if you like chess...

Thought so, mPRin. Maybe its time for Toastmasters, or chess.

Well...you could always try some of the expat churches up around Beichen - that would be something VERY different...

Learn how to make & drink tea ... ceremoniously.
Learn an exotic Chinese musical instrument you never even knew existed.
Fantasize about being one of the Three Musketeers and take up fencing.
Spend half a day trying to locate an exotic spice.

Thanks for the suggestions, laotou & Magnfico. You've both given me an idea.

Why don't I teach myself to manufacture fake religious musical trinkets, using a fencing sword? (I could make tea afterwards to relax.) Whadda you think?? :)
