taking a vacation wasn't worth the chance of returning to a home quarantine. it looks like we will open tomorrow with limited hours and limited seating with hopes to expand on both later this week. though kris and i will have to be the enforcers of the new rules.
we have had enough friends going to Thailand the last few days who have had no problems on the Thai side. Now it is coming back to Kunming that seems to have upped the rules.
Does anyone know somebody returning from Thailand today? It seems Kunming has extended enforced quarantines for those coming from Thailand. We leave for ten days to Thailand tomorrow and will cancel if it is confirmed.
FYI, Salvador's Coffee House and Mosaic Bistro will both be closed January 24th, but open for the rest of the holiday from 10:30 am to 10:30 pm. We will go back to normal hours February 2nd. Cheers
Hey all, if you so desire to read those two short novels I've written I've made the digital download free on Amazon for the next 4 days. If you do read them, please leave an honest review. Cheers
Hey all. Big thanks to everyone who showed up last night. It was an amazing event. Thanks also to Juliette and Matu at DT Bar who made it all possible. Thanks to Dr. Detrano for being the one out there on the ground saving lives. Thanks to all the bands last night and Jeff for helping emcee.
Though we didn't have as many big donors as last year, the event itself broke all previous records. Thanks to all the vendors who raised about 13,000. Thanks to all the tickets sales volunteers who brought close to 18,000. Thanks to the super generous people who won their auctions and raised another 7,600 and to all the local businesses who donated all the awesome prizes. And to all the donors who gave cash donations nearing 15,000. In all we've raised over 53,000 so far but there are still donations coming in. If you would like to contribute online follow this link, or if the link doesn't show up you can find it in the story above...
Hey all, I'm very sorry to have forgotten to include Valhalla Craft Beer's generous donation of a keg of their beer that will also be poured at the event tomorrow with all proceeds going to the fundraising effort. Thank you, Valhalla, and thank you for all the efforts and donations from all these great businesses in Kunming like Valhalla.
Just a quick update on this. There was a great turnout and the auctioning was a battle till the end. Charlotte ended up raising 3675 yuan from her artwork.
I'm leaving this review for one of my staff. She just return from Dali and fell in love with this little restaurant in Dali. Very nice owners cooking up delicious and healthy Chinese cuisine with an open kitchen and local "organic" ingredients. I'll have to try it out myself next time.
I'm disappointed in myself for even considering giving this place another chance. I wanted to give my 4-month old a chance to see some live animals and I was sure that there was no way that the Kunming Zoo was as bad as it was 15 years ago. Somehow it was worse. It's disgraceful that with all of the changes that this city has undergone in the last two decades that this zoo still lacks any sense of decency or morality.
At nailer and tallamerican, I'm sorry to hear about your recent experiences. We wash everything with purified water and make all of our food fresh daily from whole ingredients in order to avoid any problems. We will review our procedures to assure that we continue to provide the safest and healthiest menu options possible. I hope you'll give us another try and I'd be happy to buy you a coffee if you are around any morning.
@GoKunming, it would be nice if there was a zero star option for reviews so that business owners can contribute without having to rate ourselves. I kind of feel like a d-bag giving myself stars 1-5. For some reason I settled on 4 as the least douchey ;).
