Forums > Living in Kunming > Good Fabric Market?
Has anyone found a proper fabric market? I'm sure there won't be any as extensive as the ones in bigger cities, but a decent selection of fabrics would be nice.

Does anyone know if you need to have a Chinese license to rent a car here or if a license from somewhere else (like the US) will suffice for a short rental?
Does anyone have a house-sitter or cat-sitter they like or know of anyone who would want to do this kind of thing? I'm looking for someone who can stay at my apartment for a few days on a somewhat regular basis and feed my two cats and one goldfish. I live in a large apartment on Luofeng Jie with a great kitchen and lots of light. We can only provide a small amount of compensation, but hopefully this would be a good deal for a student or young person (either expat or Chinese) who would like a break from roommates or dorm life every once in a while. There are two bedrooms, so if a couple of friends wanted to do this together, that would be alright as well.

I'm starting to think this is the best Western food in Kunming. They don't have anything as upscale as Sandra's Friday steaks, and the menu is small, but the fluffy, blistered pizza crusts are a small miracle, and the brisket sandwich and Vietnamese chicken salad would be favorites at any small cafe in the states. We took a little while to come around to this conclusion, since a couple of our first visits were marred by too much bad sauce on the pizza and a couple instances of bad service, but the staff seems to be responding well to comments, and everything's been wonderful recently.
The cafe is also a great, quiet place to work in the afternoons with a smoothie or some coffee.
Really lovely little place. Very friendly, and they grabbed one of the other customers who spoke English to help us order when we arrived. Their homemade dried tofu skin stir-fried with vegetables was really delicious as was their xiang chun (Chinese toon) when prepared cold.
