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:

Pipes of all kinds are available at Tobacco www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item/tob_32403/tobacco the best tailor I know of recently sold her shop and I have no idea where to get a decent Irish single malt whiskey in Kunming. 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.
Book Review: Lonely Planet Yunnan
发布者There are plenty of places off of the typical Kunming/Dali/Lijiang/Tiger Leaping Gorge/Shangri-La/Xishuangbanna circuit, including Dongchuan, Weishan, Puzhehei, Laojun Shan, Yuanmou, Shaxi, Jianchuan, Liuku and more.
In addition to a profile/interview of Ma Li of Wheatfields, the book also interviews Jeff Fuchs, who we interviewed recently: www.gokunming.com/en/blog/item/1732/interview_jeff_fuchs
Interview: Xiong Chaozhong
发布者@mamasaidknockuout: When I went to do this interview, I spent a few minutes waiting for Xiong in the gym and was asked in English by one of the guys there if I wanted to box... it seems like you can just rock up there if you want.
If you want to get in touch with Tiger/Zovi, there is a contact email at the bottom of this post: www.gokunming.com/en/blog/item/20/pugilism_for_the_people
Interview: Xiong Chaozhong
发布者Xiong ended up winning by decision in a fairly close fight.
Xiong is listed as Zhaozhong elsewhere, I asked him whether he pronounced the 朝 in his name Chao or Zhao and he said Chao, saying he'd seen his name romanized as Zhaozhong before and that it was not correct.
Kunming takes aim at car horns - again
发布者Not surprisingly, there has been no noticeable decline in horn use in Kunming during this campaign. I haven't seen a single sign urging people to lay off the horn, nor have I seen any police issuing warnings or fines.
If you want to see how beautiful a Chinese city without incessant horn-honking can be, just go to Nanning in Guangxi. Nanning has had a horn ban for five years or so now... when I first went there I noticed something was very different from Kunming. It took a while before I realized it was the lack of noise pollution coming from impatient/rude drivers.
What's Nanning's secret? The police there actually enforce the horn ban and do issue fines to drivers who use their horns for no reason. The beauty of this system is that after a while, everyone in Nanning seems to have gotten used to the idea that they can't honk whenever there's someone in front of them, so there's not even much of a need for enforcement at this point.
