The groups the play CS(yes they are referring to Counter Strike because it's super popular here) don't use paintballs. They play using BBs & pellets. Paintball & BB guns are ILLEGAL in China. Just letting you know. The people that play don't get bothered, but if the police find you in possession of the guns or if they are in your apartment, you will be in BIG trouble. Play at your own risk. If you are laowai, you will be targeted during a game.

Like I stated before, The Mask is the ONLY foreign friendly bar in Kundu. The other places only want you there to give there place in international feel and to be "fashionable". I've been in the meetings where managers discuss "strategy" for getting more "laowi" in the door. Don't think for a minute that they "like" you. Their main target is the newly rich farmers that have more money than they can count. The ones that want to be IN. Being in fashion is what's important to them. That's why all over China two years ago every performer was copying Lady Gaga. I know it sounds like I'm just upset because I couldn't get in, but no. I'm upset that how two faced it is. Most of these places will survive with or without foreigners. So I say lets see if they REALLY appreciate us or not. I'm calling for a boycott on ALL Kundu clubs(except Mask). Even if they invite, offer free whatever. Just DON'T GO!!

Most of what has been said is true, I guess it just pissed me off because A) As a married man, I've never "sharked" any of the girls B) As a performer, I've actually worked in some of these clubs and now I can't even walk in(even if I walk in with my wife who is Chinese) and C) I actually know some of the other performers, managers and in some cases the owners. These are the same people that call my wife and ask for help getting performances and acts for special events. Very reminiscent of blacks that used to perform in the U.S. but couldn't stay at or be customers at the very establishment that they worked. So for me it's a different feeling since I've never been the guy taking girls away from tables, I've gotten free drinks ONLY from other patrons that liked my performance or that wanted to show off that a foreigner was at their table and I've helped a few of these clubs when they NEEDED performers at the last minute. Hell,I worked at David when they 1st opened and my wife was a manager at one point. Same with Top One, Soho & Mix. Yes, it is their right to refuse service to whomever they choose, just like WE have the right NOT to go to these establishments anymore.

I've been in Kunming for a few years. When I first arrived, Kundu seemed like a fun place to be and club hop from bar to bar. Lately, several of the clubs(David & Muse to name two) have started to refuse foreigners entry. I personally am not a fan of Chinese style clubs, but every once in awhile I might get invited by someone or I might just feel like sticking my head in to see what's going on. Other than Mask, I feel there is no reason at all for foreigners to go to Kundon't. The police there are too on edge and will use any excuse to jump on a guy or girl for that matter. The same clubs that used to beg foreigners to come in and offer them free drinks, are the same ones that are now refusing foreigners at the door. I say screw them.

There are several dance schools and dance groups around Kunming. Depending on the style that you prefer and your level of dance, you should be able to find one that fits you. The Dangsters are probably the most popular group in town and they have a dance studio near Xiaoximen, also there is a 3D dance studio near Kundu, and a few others. I don't know the exact addresses, but most danceers for those studios also work in clubs around Kundu. Maybe you can ask one of the dancers n the clubs. Sorry that i can't be more help.
