Hi, I'm also looking for a custom-made suit. I tried calling the number you listed above, but it says it doesn't exist. Where is her store exactly? Thanks!

for second hand speakers, check out the 旧货市场 at 黄土坡 on the 55 line. I think the 1 line and the 20-something line go there too. I bought a nice pair of old KTV-style speakers with a 1/8" input (for computers) for Y90--just be aware that the selection isn't great, you will have to haggle, and you might get stuck with a not-too-great pair, as it's a second-hand market.
a lot of coffee from southeast asia (including much of yunnan and most vietnamese coffee) is robusta, which is widely considered to be of lower quality than arabica coffee. fortunately for robusta, it has a higher caffeine content and is used to produce most of the retail coffee (not the cafe-quality stuff) in the united states.
Salvador's uses a roasted arabica bean from yunnan, which i personally really enjoy. I assume most of the cafes around here are using arabica, but I'm not positive. I wouldn't be surprised if yunjoy uses robusta (but i don't know). For a rich coffee at home, try cold brewing some of the beans from salvador's or chicago coffee. I'll be writing an article about coffee in yunnan for my blog www.kunminginmymouth.com sometime in the next few weeks that will discuss much of this, as well as including instructions for cold brewing. (in the meantime, google nytimes cold brew recipe if you're interested.)
I just relocated here and I'm looking for a practice room with a piano somewhere near the universities or the center of town, or somewhere quiet with a piano that I could access several times a week. (I would obviously be willing to pay for access to a practice room.) Anyone know of any? Please let me know!
Hi Adam (and Sandra),
I'll be in Kunming from October till August 2010 conducting research for a Fulbright fellowship.
Assuming you're still there at that point, I'd love to play Settlers or any other games. I'm an avid player of Settlers, and have also played Carcassone.
Let me know if you'll still be there and want to play!
