Thanks for the info
@Alexez I now have an Instant Pot, which has a yogurt setting. But I also used to have pretty good luck with rice cooker: add milk and turn on "keep warm" setting for 20 or 30 minutes. Add culture (I use unsweetened, unpasteurized yogurt purchased from Salvador's), close the rice cooker, unplug it, and cover it with some towels or an old blanket for insulation.
I think the "keep warm" setting itself may be too hot, hence just bringing it up to heat and then trapping the heat in there. It doesn't have to be at exactly 37 degrees the whole time.
Maybe they mean Jackie Chan?
Hi all,
Just curious if anybody has used a Google Pixel 3 phone with China Mobile. Does the 4g work ok? I checked the bands online and it seems like it would be good, but it's always nice to hear firsthand.
No results found.
I had a really good burger here recently. Steven, the chef, really knows what he is doing. Worth checking out. Of course, good beer, too.
Cantina is always a safe bet for top-notch food and great service. I think it has actually gotten better and better over the years, which is often not the case with restaurants. Most people who live in Kunming know Cantina. Perhaps not as many know how involved the owners, Libby and Diego, are in various social welfare and community service efforts. Highly recommended both for visitors and long-term residents!
I went there twice for group boxing classes. I left the third time when I was attempting to book into a grappling class. This was part of an attempted process on my part to try the different classes offered there and see if I wanted to purchase one of their various membership cards.
The boxing classes were fun, a great workout, and the coaches and fellow students were all nice. A good atmosphere. Certainly room for improvement, especially in terms of explaining the class structure and fundamental concepts of the sports to beginners...but overall good.
However, on front desk staff member erased the positive aspects of the gym through his unprofessional and rude conduct. I was treated like some sort of con-man for wanting to try out the different classes offered before committing to multi-thousand RMB membership card, despite my willingness to pay per class to try them out. I wasted my time riding over to the gym on a very cold day on my scooter and then being refused service unless I committed on the spot to buying a membership card in direct contradiction to the gym's own policies and written price table. Also wasted was my friend's time and money, as she was in a cab on the way over to the gym in order to join me for the group class at the time I was refused service. My exchange with the staff (in which I was not terribly satisfied, but remained calm and reasonable throughout) was topped off with a remark from the one particular staff member with xenophobic undertones.
As one may see from my other reviews on this site, I typically try not to say anything unless I have something nice to say. In this case, I feel I must make an exception: I don't think it's a business that deserves your effort or money.
One of the best western restaurants in Yunnan. Definitely worth visiting if you will be passing through Shangrila!
The best tacos in Kunming!
Kunming's metro could cost 300 billion yuan
Posted byMany public infrastructure projects around the world are unprofitable. Take for example the American interstate highway system. These projects become valuable when the positive externalities of the project (increased commerce, improved social welfare, etc.) outweigh the burden on government coffers and taxpayers.
As far as the debt issue, it seems clear that there is going to have to be some manner of bailout by Beijing of overburdened provincial and municipal governments in the medium to long term. The big question is whether Beijing has a plan to deal with this, or have they simply gone on an irresponsible unsustainable infrastructure spending binge and hidden the expense of it on local government balance sheets? I imagine we won't know the answer to that right up until the point when the shit hits the fan...or doesn't.

Posted by@Seashorse, could you further elucidate this scenario in which closing off the city's drainage system would result in LESS flooding of subway tunnels?

Governor: Provincial highway bathrooms China's worst
Posted byAgree with Chingis, that's one of the cleaner ones I've seen. It's not just highway toilets. The public crapper on the corner of WLJ and WHX is one of the nastiest around.
