Tobacco (near Yueyatan Park) can sort you out with a place to smoke shisha, they also sell all kinds of pipes, but I'm not sure if they sell hookahs:

If you can make it to Dali, there is an amazing selection of single malt whiskeys at the new-and-improved Lazy Book www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item/laz_250/

Happy ninth birthday Sal, you've made Kunming a better place.
Four stars for a great restaurant with friendly staff.
I give Tusheng Shiguan a fifth star for its goal of promoting environmentally sound food production.
My favorite Tengchong-style restaurant in Kunming. Their ersi and erkuai are trucked over from Tengchong and are the real deal — Kunming ersi and erkuai do not compare.
The restaurant itself is a bit jumbled, but there are a couple of tables outside in the courtyard that are nice to sit at when the weather's pleasant.
Don't believe them when they say they don't have lufu.
Tom and Jiajia have been baking up a storm lately. Thanks to them I have delicious sourdough bread to toast on the space heater in the office.
The Bircher muesli is probably the healthiest and most delicious breakfast around.
Pound for pound, one of the best little Western restaurants in China. 佳佳万岁!
Just had gnocchi in mushroom sauce and a glass of wine for dinner on the balcony in mid-January. Awesome.

Kunming launches forum site for foreigners
发布者GoKunming and Kunming Information Hub have had a good relationship over the years... we've even stopped by to share our thoughts on how they can make their site more useful to foreign readers:
bbs.clzg.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=114342 (please forgive my five o'clock shadow, 2009 was a rough year!)
The use of the word "Chinglish" was not derogatory in any way, for me the word simply suggests English that is often translated too literally from Chinese. It was not meant as an insult, and I don't believe it was taken that way, it was merely intended as a reminder to the staff at en.kunming.cn that hiring one native English speaker to go over their articles prior to publishing would greatly raise the quality of their content... something I mentioned when we met with them back in 2009.
I have much admiration for the young and bright crew at en.kunming.cn, we link to their content and they frequently run ours. Their team is just as small as ours, but they're publishing in a second language. Respect!

发布者Once again, good to see haters chipping in. Feel free to share your band's douban link joe, I'm sure you guys keep it real.
Went to the show tonight and the band couldn't have shown more respect to the audience, despite people getting up on stage and acting like tourists while the band was trying to perform.
Can't get enough of people criticizing others for doing things that make people enjoy their lives. Kunming would be so much better if no bands passed through at all!

发布者Let the haters hate, last night's show fucking ROCKED!
Book Review: Where the Dragon Meets the Angry River
发布者Ed was kind enough to provide us with a copy for review.
There's an Amazon link in the first mention of the book's title... hopefully it will be available around town soon.
