For those who've curiously passed by Green Lake's Yunn Coffee Roasters and spotted their pizza and creamy pasta poster boards. Their dinning facility, dubbed Slow Food Park, is equipped with a giant masonry wood-fired brick pizza oven on the second floor open kitchen.

I'm not attempting to rate the newcomer as one of the top pizza joints in town compared to Humdinger or Sals, but they certainly have potential based on several visits.

A few photos uploaded below:

Customers can choose to dine outside. First floor patio is spacious under the canopy of trees. Impressive ambience and view overlooking the lake.

For early risers, first 10 customers (who request it) would receive a free cup of Americano. During this trial business operations, Yunn cafe opens at 8am, and restaurant at 10am.

FYI, residence permit is a paper from your local police station, which requires an extra step of getting a stamped letter from your building's property management to verify your residence there. The paichusuo will retain that letter for their records? Maybe I misread.

I know quite a few foreigners who got vaccinated in Yunnan without insurance, such that I don't believe "以上3项缺一不可" on paper is ironclad in practice. Rather, fulling all three requirements is subject to loose enforcement depending on location and timing.

As national inoculation goalpost sets further to two billion from one for achieving the hopeful "herd immunity," the vaccination red tapes for foreigners ought to gradually wane as time passes. That appears to be the trend for locals registering for jabs. Getting on the wait-list was competitive a while back. The entire ordeal was much more arduous than it is now as the vaccination red carpets are being rolled out throughout visible locations in town under blue canopies.

For those unable to access Youtube, I've taken the liberty of uploading today's 8-hour "One World: Together At Home Special to Celebrate COVID-19 Workers" live stream from Global Citizen.

I agree with you on mask wearing, however...

colinflahive wrote: "Yes, I know there is little scientific evidence that masks are that useful, at least when used how most of us are using them, and they might even help spread contagions more."

Is the source of this information from the U.S. CDC? They've advised Americans not to wear masks if healthy, but to wear masks only when ill.

As the United States reported 977 new cases and 18 new deaths just yesterday, there are signs that U.S. health officials (e.g. State Dept. of Health) are waking up to the prevalence of asymptomatic cases of transmission. The asymptomatic spreading to 80 contracted attendees of a Biogen tech conference in Massachusetts raised new alarms, though substantial empirical evidence of asymptomatic spreading have already been documented in China, as backed by peer-reviewed studies.

Those who are unknowingly infected yet show no symptoms (asymptomatic), may cough or sneeze viral droplets inside an elevator. Those floating droplets could possibly suspend in air, such that next passengers risk inhaling them. This highlights the importance of mask wearing even if you feel fine.

The point of mask wearing despite feeling healthy is made clear by President Xi as he made victory laps in Wuhan while donning a mask. He is intentionally setting an example to the public at large.

So perhaps no, it is not "only a false sense of control" as some camps in the U.S. would have you believe.

Patrons of will be allowed to dine inside restaurants, not just take out, starting tomorrow throughout most of Kunming.

Is Colin in Thailand, or is he back to open Sal?
