Forums > Living in Kunming > Cycling in Kunming I agree with the above. Kunming and Yunnan are great for cycling. Without stretching this thread past what it should be, you should just search the forums for one of the other, identically named forum threads. And of course, report when you are here so we can go on a couple of rides together.

Forums > Living in Kunming > "Lazy" English teachers? Oh the newspaper is by no means wrong or trying to hold an anti-foreigner campaign. It is simply addressing a very real issue. Many English teachers are highly qualified and do excellent jobs. But there are others.
I know of one particular non-native teacher whose English was so bad that she was neither able to express herself clearly to native speakers nor to understand what native speakers were trying to tell her.
Yet she accepted a job as a kindergarten English teacher. You may well think: any English is better than none at that level, but however mouldable the brains of young kids are, getting them to pronounce stuff wrong in the very beginning and teaching them meanings of words that are incorrect is definitely not helping and unworthy of a salary.
It is the school's fault for not checking and I find the attitude of this person is very immoral but I know of more than just one student or traveller accepting such jobs. The low salary does not stop these people.
Forums > Food & Drink > Vietnamese food afaik, that's the Daizu 傣族 place on Jianshe Lu 建设路. Other than that the Dai are probably the ancestors of the Thai, the food is nothing like it. I go there quite often and enjoy the place even for its spartan interior. iirc the place does not have a proper licence and is therefore so cheap but also so basic. Anyway I know of few Chinese restaurants where I like to linger around long after eating.

Cycling the Nujiang: Bingzhongluo and the Tibet border
发布者There is a person on the main street in Bingzhongluo who rents out a jeep and two motorcycles. But you'd have to talk to him well ahead because they're often rented out. We also talked about some people in a repair shop about renting out the vehicles that were repaired, but didn't have a lot of luck with that. Maybe if you give a better impression.
You should also probably know that riding in Bingzhongluo may require above average driving/riding skills. You often have to ford fast streaming rivers, cross vehicles on ridiculously narrow roads and mount steep and badly paved mountain trails.
Fog shuts down Kunming airport, strands thousands
发布者Why is fog really a problem with landing/taking off? I have flown many times with dense fogs and usually I think the instruments do their thing... I believe something else is at play.

发布者Ride a bicycle. Really. I don't know why you would waste time and money on those unreliable suckers.

Interview: punk band Hell Yeah
发布者Still don't know what it is though. I'm guessing a massage parlour? But then with a sleazy edge?
