Ok, gonna lock this thread... we're happy to have 'lively' threads on the site but prefer that they have something to do with Kunming or Yunnan or somewhere nearby. Thanks.

Congratulations to Francesco LaMacchia, who knew that Red Light Revolution's Chinese name was a riff on Hongloumeng (红楼梦), aka Dream of the Red Chamber, A Dream of Red Mansions or The Story of the Stone.

Thank you to all the readers who sent in additional nominations - the nominating period is now closed. Voting will begin on December 5.

Regarding the 'offensive' portion of the soundtrack, it may make more sense or even be amusing to some if viewed in its original context, which happens to be the video for the song 'Windowlicker' by Aphex Twin:

I find it reassuring to see young people in Kunming actually following their dreams instead of doing what society is telling them to do. 加油

Four stars for a great restaurant with friendly staff.

I give Tusheng Shiguan a fifth star for its goal of promoting environmentally sound food production.

My favorite Tengchong-style restaurant in Kunming. Their ersi and erkuai are trucked over from Tengchong and are the real deal — Kunming ersi and erkuai do not compare.

The restaurant itself is a bit jumbled, but there are a couple of tables outside in the courtyard that are nice to sit at when the weather's pleasant.

Don't believe them when they say they don't have lufu.

Tom and Jiajia have been baking up a storm lately. Thanks to them I have delicious sourdough bread to toast on the space heater in the office.

The Bircher muesli is probably the healthiest and most delicious breakfast around.

Pound for pound, one of the best little Western restaurants in China. 佳佳万岁

Just had gnocchi in mushroom sauce and a glass of wine for dinner on the balcony in mid-January. Awesome.
