Xiao kao won't serve? Bits of meat roasted on spits?
Xiao kao won't serve? Bits of meat roasted on spits?
The Box is a hang-out for long-term expats, who can probably answer other questions about the region. Good italian food/drink, too.
Yunjoy Coffee has recently re-opened in Wenhua Xiang, in the ground floor of the Korean restaurant opposite the Mei Er jewelry store. It's a good place to chat over good, inexpensive coffee.
This sort of thing is pretty common in N. China, esp. in the winter time. I haven't seen it in Kunming. Go to the Harbin Ice Festival :-) and you'll probably see it.
Apple should 1) open some real stores and 2) sell their products at a price reasonable for China. Oxford University Press and Penguin Books do so.
"This might sound bizarre, but I have already accepted the fact that my life expectancy here in China is lower."
On the other hand, I seriously doubt one of my students will bring a gun to class and shoot everyone!
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.
Farmer displacement threatening Fuxian Lake's water quality
发布者Displacing farmers to make way for suburban developments around China may have a lot to do with the high price of food lately.
Getting Away: Jinghong
发布者I've often enjoyed relaxing at the Banna Cafe, as well.
Bicycle ambassadors leave Kunming for Southeast Asia
发布者Too bad this won't promote bike riding, discourage cars.
Wenhua Xiang filling up with financially overextended youth
发布者Total, I would say the main problem is the cars. Let the vendors and their customers alone. As for "flouting the law", this is not America! If it were, I'd move away again.
Wenhua Xiang filling up with financially overextended youth
发布者There used to be a lot of street food vendors on Jianshe Lou and in front of the Yun Da guesthouse. They were great, until someone in power had them chased away (probably with the excuse "that's not what they do in America!!"). Now that some are coming back to Wen Hua Xiang, I am happy. Maybe the restaurants will get to have outdoor tables again. If I wanted to do all my shopping in Walmart, etc., I'd live in the USA.
