Forums > Food & Drink > Non-meat food in Kunming? (Fish is OK :) )

There is a wealth of different kinds of tofu to try as well. China is used to vegetarians and special diets for religious reasons.

But really you are better off cooking at home.

The 'wet' markets have many vendors of fish, most alive, and they will kill and clean them for you. These are mostly river species, and river fish have an earthy flavour. There are also farmed turbot, and lots of crayfish and other shell fish.

Metro is a local cash and carry wholesaler (easy to get a card) and they also do a reasonable range of frozen sea fish.

As already mentioned, lots of fresh veg, many of them wild. You can try lots of new things. There is also a big range of fresh fungi available.

Eggs are easy, and cheese (rare in supermarkets) is available for specialist local shops, run by expats.

There is a lot of apartment sharing and sub letting of rooms going on. Rooms come up from about 600/m.That is an option for you.

There are some apartments that come up cheap, but you need to be prepared to jump in in June-August after the end of the academic year to get a good one. Lots of people want them in September.

Forums > Living in Kunming > The Horror

I see them use a lot of unrefined rapeseed oil from local farmers. It is dark brown and thick looking.
It has not had a lot of that nasty natural stuff taken out and so in not clear. They say that some of it is even organic, whatever that means it can't be any good, shock horror.

If you see the stories nearly everyday, they have probably been recycled.

Yes a lot of bad things happen in China. Not all food is safe. But that is still a small percentage of the whole. These 'horror stories' are exactly that. Hence them doing the rounds.

Forums > Living in Kunming > China-related conferences?

I assume you are already located in China.

Unless you are a mandarin speaker, the biggest problem will be finding a conference in which English is spoken. Or where they have simultaneous translation.

I can only offer suggestions, not answers.
Your best bet would be to check with the international affairs departments of the major universities in China as they will be the ones holding the international conferences.
You could also contact the educational affairs departments of the embassies of the major English speaking countries. They may know of a website listing conferences.
Check to see if the China education ministry has a webpage for conferences.

Contact the Confucius Institute HQ in China for info as they seem to have a finger in every pie.

Also check to see if there are any conferences running in parallel with the Education Fairs and Book Fairs.

You probably couldn't get a mandate to redevelop an area and build an underground shopping mall. Especially if it causes major disruption.

There is an existing mandate to build bomb shelters, and there are added benefits to both the infrastructure and opportunities for business that can be captured too :-)

My university and tertiary students only had lectures between 8am and noon, Many didn't even turn up for lectures, but would turn up for exams. There is an old joke in China, that university is hard to get in (Gaokao), but easy to get out (very hard to fail). I was told by my Dean, in one provincial level uni., that if SS failed and exam they would resit up to twice and would be given an automatic pass after the second resit.

At a tertiary college in Kunming, I had about 30 regular SS out of 60 on the register, but 110 turned in exam papers. Half of them scored less than 30% (and I had pretty much told them the answers and where to find them (in the PPTs I gave them). Lo and behold, I was told by management that the SS all had to pass, including the guy who got 9%.

The problems of students staying in the dormitories, not working and playing computer games has been in the Chinese news several times in recent years. Unless the authorities have got a grip of this recently, I doubt it will have changed.

This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
