I still don't understand what white rabbit you are talking about, or what it's got to do with anything. So some of the candy was contaminated - so that's not good - so: what?

Don't know about possible copyrights or whatever - I'd imagine there'd be no problem today - but it would be really GREAT if your copy of this very important map were available through gokunming - a real public service.

Note the similarity of the next-to-last photo to the type of composition you see in traditional sjan-shui (mountain and water) style of Chinese painting - I'll bet Rock thought of that when he set up the photo.
I don't think it's necessary to be a Western exoticist or orientalist of the old and somewhat insulting 'gosh what a wonderful thing these foreigners have managed to produce' school of thought (a bit similar to the 'wonderful minority cultures' syndrome among Han Chinese) to suggest we compare these interesting and fine photos of Dali to all the commoditized, commercialized tourist crap that has taken over Dali, and many other interesting places in Yunnan, over the past 20 years or so. 'Progress' is always just great, isn't it?

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.

As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.

Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.

Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
