Summers in KM are not bad. Clouds keep the sun from getting too hot. Carry an umbrella or a rain poncho for showers, and you'll do OK.
I'm sure your English is plenty good enough. Swedish is a related language, after all.
Dear PO'd expats: don't let the men hit you on the pigu when you leave!
When I read the whiny Americans here, I remember why I sometimes used to hide my face when I saw one of my countrymen get on the bus. If seeing someone spit or pee is the worst thing that's ever happened to you....
There is also a large market at Bai Yun Tao Bao City, on Bai Yun Lu, about a block east of where it crosses Bei Jing Lu. It's a few blocks from the site of the former Bai Yun Lu Second Hand Market.
Personally, I like everything about China. Noisy eating is not a serious flaw, nor is letting the babies fertilize on the trees.
If you want to live in a US suburb, why did you come to China?
No results found.
The beer is good. The food, OK, if you're dying for something Western. Food service is better in the daytime, mamahuhu in the night time.
I haven't stayed in their guesthouse, but I'll guess it's noisy in the night times.
Prague Cafe in Bei Chen Walking Street is Prague III.
There are other branches in Wen Lin Jie and in Lijiang.
I've been a long time customer of the Wen Lin branch.
Both Kunming branches are pleasant places to meet and chat with friends.
The food may not be the cheapest, but the cheapest would be from the street vendors.
I meet and drink coffee with friends at the Wen Lin PC several times weekly, especially since the Yun Joy Cafe is no more.
I've been drinking Beer Lao and coffee here, off and on for some years.
It's always a pleasant place to relax. The food is good as well. Close to cheap hotels and bike rental on Manting Lu, too.

Kunming discovers two more fake Apple stores
发布者There used to be a lot of pirated Penguin books and Oxford U. Press books in Chinese universities, used to teach literature. Then Penguin and OUP wised up, started producing their books in China, adding some notes in Chinese, selling them at a price reasonable for Chinese students. No one uses the pirated copies any more. Most foreign publishers, etc., have not wised up yet.

发布者Maybe Apple Corp. should open some real Apple stores in China? Sell their goodies at a reasonable price?
