I just went through and read billdan's reviews....I will admit that the Mexican one is a little ridiculous ..but even that one i agree with(I have given them 3 times to put something worthwhile on a plate,did not happen) The sad truth is the Kunming food situation is weak! Not to say that there is not good stuff( some amazing stuff!!). The local food is dirty, to the point where i am scared to eat at local spots not tried or recommended by someone who knows..And I love ..I mean LOVE street food and Chinese food in general. The western food here is lackluster at best...aside from a couple places doing a couple things right...its a sad showing for a city of this size with the food culture and history we have here... Honestly, I think it comes down to laziness from both parties! Local and expat owned alike...The good news is the market is wide open for someone to do some good work here and blow us away!
Man ..I would do dirty nasty things for a real deal kebab!! There is a place in Seattle that i have dreams about ! Also real Mexican!!! I want to pour salsa all over myself ...There is this cafe in mexico city I dream about too, More like nightmares for this one!! Like every other night!!
Yeah, I have driven around there a few times and have been stopped every time (once or twice) ...but once they see i am a foreigner, all they want to talk about is where i am from and how i have a car(never check my ID or anything). all the time there are really friendly and curious. But we(wife and me) have talked about what they are looking for...I think its drugs(heroin would be my guess), but cant be sure, they seem to wave everybody through ....Maybe they just search if they get a tip??
I feel this should not be about politics! The facts are some people,(unarmed people) whatever country they may be from. Went mountain climbing..and were gunned down by pussies, most likely brainwashed into hating something they don't understand. To blame America or China OR Pakistan for that matter...for the actions of some terrorists is giving them(the gunmen) exactly what they want!
I agree with Bluppfisk! nobody wants to talk about the topic!! Most of you are all mesmerized by the cheetah sweater and my fist comment!
Also ...Fact ...If i meet Jim I would 100% ask him about the Cheetah print!! For one, Its awesome!! Two, How often do you see a dude rocking a cheetah print ?? Three, Its funny, I bet Jim has a better sense of humor then the GoKunming crew!
Part of being an adult is telling people to keep there fucking mouths shut!!!hahahaha. Way to show us, Dan ...so mature! maybe you could open a clinic and teach the rest of us how to act!
Interesting that you have nothing to say other than its "interesting! hahah!! this is what i am talking about!! Fine ...I guess its up to me again!..What i found interesting is the early 90s talk, about meeting people that have not meet westerners in there lives! Think about how much life has changed in china in the last 20 years ...whatever Jim's like to wear, he is a lucky man To see things that will not be seen again!
This is a place where i was let down ...While the price is great ...even super cheap on the half price day...The pizza itself was like something you would get at a 7-11. While drunk in a last ditch effort to soak up some booze before you pass out. The cheese was the main offender! Service was friendly if not helpful...really was not going to come from behind the counter unless He really had to!
Oreillys is another place i have enjoyed. Prices are fair and the food is tasty! Burger was legit!! fish and chips not bad either. Guy that runs the place seems like a nice dude. ....Only thing that I would say was not on point is the environment.The bar itself looks awesome (maybe even a little too clean). What i mean is, You walk into the bar and all the staff (like 5+) are just standing there starring into space. In the corner there is like an owners crew speaking in french. Our waiter asked us if the food was good like 5 times.hahahah One of these things would not matter but all together makes a bizarre atmosphere. All in all will be back for sure..
A little bored during the holiday...So I feel like reviewing the spots i have ate at so far......First the good, Sals is great! Everything I have had was nice. I have read on this site that people think it is expensive ...I am not one of them. Prices are totally fair for what you get! Not to mention IPA, reason enuff for me to hang out. Also the staff is super nice ...the other day i saw some drunken girl throw a cocktail at the staff ..they just cleaned it up and brought us new drinks(people sitting next to her)..much nicer then I would have been!! hahahah

发布者Not sure who you are calling a victim? But I would find that more offensive than anything that was said in these posts! Nobody is a "victim" here.
