Forums > Living in Kunming > How much do we need in Kunming?

flying 'home' to visit family or deal with business IS part of living in Kunming for many. Annual is not every 'couple of years'.

Chinese standard according to a top party official or the person who collects bottles on the street? ...and by the way, i'm not American so a US standard is irrelevant.

my boss, a British person, is currently buying a house... i'm sure he's not the only expat in kunming to buy property.

not every government/nation will send you a pension cheque. Some countries have a basic entitlement while others operate a contribution based scheme.

people don't only buy cars to travel outside kunming. i'm not saying that one is strictly needed, only that some would expect it (maybe because they drive in their home country). the level of car ownership is hardly the question here.

i accept that need and want have different meanings but surely that's open to interpretation. one man's NEED is another Man's WANT.

so, no... unfortunately it's still a big and rather vague question. thanks for trying though.

that would depend on what you need... those who'd like a regular return ticket to the USA or Europe for example would surely need more than 3k and the same goes for those who expect a western lifestyle. then you have to consider saving for property purchase, retirement, to buy transport or whatever. it's a big question and surely it depends on the individual's circumstances. personally, i 'need' a bit more than whatever my employer is offering!

taxi drivers (ebike/motorbike/licensed/Didi) seem to hate the competition from these bikes and have been known to 'move' them or otherwise make them unusable. I've witnessed some shop owners moving the bikes from near their store front. I've also seen several local xiaoqu guards and city management officers piling them up recently. There were always quite a few within eyesight of my apartment but not any more... I now need to walk around to find one which negates the whole idea in my opinion. At least one of these companies have to fold soon.

The only place worth going for a beer in Lijiang. Small place with a super friendly vibe. Great relaxed hangout for locals and travellers alike.

a lovely place to stay with great views of Yulong xueshan (JadeDragon snow mountain) from the roof! Beautifully decorated and hosts that make you feel like family. A million miles better than most other places locally. I can't recommend this place enough.

i thought i'd give this place another try as my usual place was closed today. even though there is now more choice, i was not impressed by the menu. they do have an apparently good range of coffees for up to 80 kuai but even a basic latte is Y26 now. the drinks were OK but nothing special and certainly not worth the money. the place looked somehow cleaner too and was certainly busier! why have so many of the cafes in this area decided that it's fine to raise their prices by so much (in some cases almost double)? i doubt i'll be going back. the 2 stars are because it was just OK and they've obviously made some effort.

not a bad selection of stuff and some of the staff obviously know their way around a bike. however, the 'special' prices for foreigners and the fact that some of the staff will use a big hammer to fix anything keeps me from going back. you could do better.

I won't go there again. The yoghurt is tasty and the curries are usually ok (they seem to vary in quality depending on the day and time). What really annoys me is the fact that they can't comprehend that I order dishes to eat TOGETHER... if my curry arrives 30 minutes after all the other dishes it's not really acceptable. Then again, neither is the 1 hour wait for the rest of the food or the incorrect dishes being sent. By the way, why can't I sit on the 3rd floor until both of the other floors are packed full? Has it never occurred to them that I might want a quiet meal and, after all, I am paying for it!
