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.

@roberto: China will certainly spend the days leading up to the match training here, most likely at the Hongta facility, more info here: www.gokunming.com/[...]

As for tickets to the match, they are notoriously difficult to obtain here. If you have any friends playing in Kunming's local football league, I would ask them first. That's how we got our tickets to the Socceroos match in 2008. There's always a chance that there will be a clear and straightforward way to purchase tickets, but it would be a first.

@HFCAMPO: Thanks for pointing out that I had failed to link to the museum. The oversight was mine. Link has been added.

@Geezer: It's actually off of 华山东路

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.
