Are then any good cardiology units in KMG?
Preferably with English speaking doctor.

Lots, but nothing 5 star.
A couple of nicer places that are Restaurants, and many more bar/cafe type places that sell food. Most are very reasonably priced compared to the other cities I have lived in.
Have a look at the listings and reviews sections.
Shoes, dunno.
But you can get custom made. Not sure where, I am new to KMG.
Suits, get them tailormade. Probably cheaper that 'off the peg' back home.
I have not bought a suit in Kunming, but 1000 rmb should set you up with a nice one. If it is wear once and then stuff in the wardrobe, 500rmb might cut it.
I think there is already a well developed coffee bar culture in Shanghai. My only concern is that it will encourage local business to put up prices.
I also think that a lot of people come here to escape places like Starbucks.
A lot of what is stocked is based on sales, and negotiated (sold) shelf space.
But even a tier 3 city like Zhenghzhou has more international foods.
Not really fare to compare with Xiamen, as it was the first city to open in China and has been more cosmopolitan for longer. I also think Xiamen will have more full-pats and less half-pats (opp. to KMG), who have families who complain if they have to wipe with anything less than Charmin Ultra, and NEED peanut butter and choco spread, crunchy nut cherrios, and pancake mix.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
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.
Detailed Kunming metro plans finally unveiled
发布者This is one of those irregular cases in English usage.
It's = it is or it has
Its - the possessive form has no apostrophe.

Rebranded Shaolin temples open today
发布者This isn't a rant. It is said with a little sadness.
This development is good for Kungfu, but perhaps not so good for Buddhism. Anyone who has visited the main Shaolin Temple will have experienced Kung Fu Incorporated. Including the Kung Fu cabaret, Cirque de Soleil rip off, blatant commercialism, and overpricing. The only thing missing are the harlots and moneychangers. Call me cynical, but many Chinese visitors I have spoken to are also saddened and disappointed (with a capital D) by the culture.
Many temples are now attracting money from many sources, and the need for commercialism is not as strong as it used to be. Those temples that have not already died, seem to be more stable than before, many are renovating.
Details emerge in Yunnan's largest-ever gutter oil case

Details emerge in Yunnan's largest-ever gutter oil case
发布者@ James,
This is sadly the result of unrestrained capitalism.
There is nothing new under the sun. A book was recommended to me, Upton Sinclaire's 'The Jungle' about the meat industry in Chicago in 1905. Not just tainted meat, but other fake foods, tainted milk (sound familiar), exploitation of factory workers (Fox... anyone?), crime, trafficking, drugs, etc.
The jungle was a protest book, and shares common flaws with other protest books, but the parallels with life in modern China are uncanny.
Nestlé investing 100 million yuan in Pu'er coffee
发布者Ref. shit brew.
That is more to do with the processing, and not so much the bean.
There is a reasonable variety of different 'flavours'/roasts of Arabica beans available. Some of it really good.
Nestle seem to specialise in instant coffee. The top one is Gold Blend which is not very hard to find, probably too dear for local tastes, but a damned sight better than UCC's offerings IMHO.
