..Yank,Well your example is stupid because you would totally be lucky if you picked the 2 months old milk over the one year! hahah...There are many more reasons, not just Air quality..to be happy about being here...If you guys don't feel lucky to live here. move...If you didn't know, luck is subjective. So if i feel its lucky to be here, it is...If you don't, its not. But why live here if that is the situation.
Bobb, Next time i have a question, I will..Thanks dude!
I would like to add, Someone said the people in Kunming are less friendly....Maybe...just maybe..you are more jaded and walking around with a big sour puss? I have found the locals really helpful and friendly. Like the man said above me maybe its the contrast between BJ and KM...but life as been good here so far.It does help to realize that china does not have the same hospitality that we have at home.(most western places)....I would be lying if i said i never bitched about china or the Chinese ..hahahah But it for sure changes nothing.
I hear you, There is always someplace better. I myself only plan to live here 2-3 years! would be surprised if i stayed longer...I guess what i am saying is there seems to be a lot of complaining on this site.. maybe you old timers could help us new comers and tell us what is good. Unless you are stupid most people already know what is bad! Like Air Q and traffic! I have heard from locals that is used to rain much more here, making it a much nicer place....Lets hope for rain.
Just moving here from Beijing ..Let me tell some of you guys how lucky you are to live in Kunming.. Its almost funny to me when i hear people complaining about the air quality ....you can see the sun and blue sky most days here.....Beijing looks like the world is ending, you might be able to have a nice day 50 out of 365... The food is a little shitty here compared to BJ,SH or other big citys... But there is cool places here and for every bad spot i have found somewhere cool to eat here. The traffic is bad?? hahahahah ..you have never lived somewhere with bad traffic!! This is china and Kunming will almost for sure be ruined eventually, but right now I'm loving it.
No results found.
not sure when they start but....lunch from 12-2 then they finish at 530
got to have that 2 hour gov lunch ..hahahah
This is a place where i was let down ...While the price is great ...even super cheap on the half price day...The pizza itself was like something you would get at a 7-11. While drunk in a last ditch effort to soak up some booze before you pass out. The cheese was the main offender! Service was friendly if not helpful...really was not going to come from behind the counter unless He really had to!
Oreillys is another place i have enjoyed. Prices are fair and the food is tasty! Burger was legit!! fish and chips not bad either. Guy that runs the place seems like a nice dude. ....Only thing that I would say was not on point is the environment.The bar itself looks awesome (maybe even a little too clean). What i mean is, You walk into the bar and all the staff (like 5+) are just standing there starring into space. In the corner there is like an owners crew speaking in french. Our waiter asked us if the food was good like 5 times.hahahah One of these things would not matter but all together makes a bizarre atmosphere. All in all will be back for sure..
A little bored during the holiday...So I feel like reviewing the spots i have ate at so far......First the good, Sals is great! Everything I have had was nice. I have read on this site that people think it is expensive ...I am not one of them. Prices are totally fair for what you get! Not to mention IPA, reason enuff for me to hang out. Also the staff is super nice ...the other day i saw some drunken girl throw a cocktail at the staff ..they just cleaned it up and brought us new drinks(people sitting next to her)..much nicer then I would have been!! hahahah

Mystery man posing as Beijing official in Yunnan
Posted byI have meet a few directors(and such) from the gov...Their salary can be less then a English teacher ...they get almost all their money from kickbacks and bribes..which can be A LOT!! So he may have not gotten gov checks, He almost certainly got money from people looking to open companies and things. The balls on this guy are pretty massive!
Lijiang blaze destroys old town businesses
Posted byAfter all those videos in the past few years of Chinese people being totally nonchalant about the suffering of their countrymen(remember the one where like 3 cars ran over a little girl and 30 people walked by before anyone helped).. this is really nice to read. I hope this gets out to the rest of china....Its better that they help each other :)
