I'm pretty sure I've seen them at Chapter One on Wenlin Jie. Also, Mandarin Books on Wenhua Xiang should have a copy. If you find a used copy around here make sure that the Yunnan section is still in the book.

Congratulations to Dave Schilling, who will be on the guest list plus two at "Chinese Standards" Saturday night at Nordica. The answers:

1. Which TCG Nordica founder won a Nobel prize this year? -Tomas Tranströmer

2. In what category did he/she win the prize? - Literature

3. What does the 'TCG' in 'TCG Nordica' stand for? - Tranströmer Culture Gallery

@Tim_W: As you probably noticed, the AFC website doesn't say where fixtures are scheduled to be held. I'm guessing there won't be any further matches at Tuodong Stadium, but I'm happy to be wrong. Unfortunately, events like this aren't promoted so well, and even buying tickets usually requires knowing someone - not surprising in a town that scrapped its initial plans for the Olympic torch to pass through town and then made it a VIP event out at Yunnan Minorities Village at the last minute.

Congratulations to reader Bryan Allen, who was the first to provide us with all four correct answers:

1. Wild Horses
2. lip-syncing
3. Lijiang
4. Devils on the doorstep (鬼子来了)

Thanks to Bryan and all who participated in the giveaway... watch this space for more giveaways in the future!

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.
