If you can't make a baby, your chances aren't good.
By order of importance what I noticed most in China:
1) baby
2) car = status (and money)
3) job = money
4) house
Glad I met my wife... hahahaha
I strongly recommend the following 2:
Fargo's in central Green Lake (in the center courtyard). Great quiet atmosphere. Great coffees, drinks, pizza and waffles & icecream plus wifi.
Or "Meeting Point Coffee Bar" which is directly next to Vervo and Alei. They have great coffee and smoothies too, wifi. You'll easily recognize it by its Scandinavian style all-white interior.
They do focus less on spirits though.
PS: please post according to the request of the poster. So don't start promoting Clubs and Bars you can't even hear your own voice if the person asked for a nice place to relax and talk. That includes KTV's. Thanks for your consideration.
When reading that headline, I was thinking about a completely different type of home-brewing. Something I think a lot of foreighners are doing on a daily basis.
... but I just realized it's called home-brooding.
Zippers and velcro, pretty sure there are shops. Some sell stuff like that also accesories in their fabric shop or can give another store a call they know has it.
Or just go to taobao.
Don't go for the colored clothing bag kind of woven plastic. I think it will deteriorate fast in the sun. Plus it's a bit too water-tight for your needs.
If you go, try to bring a fold-up bicycle or step. The building is a quarter mile (300 meter) wide, 5-6 floors high and 1.6 KM (1 mile) long.
Each floor of each section is divided into 15 to 25 corridors with shops of which each corridor is 100 meters long.
You're not really allowed to cycle inside, but you can do stepping.
No results found.
Expensive, but probably one of the best places in this whole province to find genuine top brands (Prada, Gucci, etc.) for outlet prices.
Their jewelry sections in the basement is also very large but I would never touch any jewelry in China.
Unbeatable priced. Seriously!
Prices start from 25 yuan p/p when you have a member card (deposit money on it).
The theaters are very good and they also show movies in 3D.
They always have the latest movies. Actually, they show most foreign movies in their native language which is awesome as I don't understand much Chinese yet.
Chinese movies are frequently shown with English subtitles.
Just make always sure and ask before attending a show what the language and subtitles are, but I guess that's a given in China :)
Personally this is one of my favorite halal restaurants in Kunming. ^_^
Known well among the upper class of Kunming, it is very classy and is very good for quality business lunches and dinners. Having been here many times, this restaurant truly never lets you down. It's a little more pricey (-or a lot more pricey than your average noodle and rice restaurant), but the staff is very well trained and the food is exquisite and above all safe (they don't serve pork). (this is an absolute pre- when having business dinners as you don't want your guests to become sick).
My favorite dishes:
Steamed whole fish (predator type) in light soy-sauce.
Ground beef and ground peanuts over baked eggplant.
The seafood ice platter (salmon, scallop and snail) is very delicate and good for making a quality impression.
This is one of South Kunming's largest farmers markets. Originally named "seafood market" for its focus on fish, shellfish and other seafood, it now contains a large vegetable, fruit, meat, bakery and dried food selection.
New Asia Athletics Park (Guandu District) is one of the most well thought-out developments of the city. As part of the de-urbanization plan, it accommodates the new government and trade districts of the city.
It is also one of the most child-friendly districts of Kunming.
Located next to the Guandu Ancient Town, New Asia Athletics Park boasts a hospital, dozens of playgrounds in car-free zones and parks, a quality hotel, a stadium with various sport facilities including badminton, ping-pong, basketball and football (there are more facilities).
In addition it has one of Kunming's top Halal restaurants with truly exquisite food and many other options for fine dining, a very good value cinema (who offers a card system allowing you to get tickets for about half price). They always have the latest movies (also available in English or with English subtitles).
It is next to the new Metro line (which already runs here), with easy access to the flower market and Chenggong University town. Carrefour Supermarket, Luosiwan International Trade City and the lake.
There is also a direct freeway to Kunming airport making it a very convenient location.
Planned for opening in 2014 / 2015 there is also the New Kunming Theater and a new Kunming / Yunnan museum.

Chinese consumers of rare animals now face prison
Posted byIs there a list available of animals the government sees as endangered or forbidden? Not that I'd ever eat anything like those, but I want to know how far their list reaches in regards to foreign animals and if Yao Ming's efforts paid off. Thanks!

Posted byDon't bother going. It was already closed, done and over on 3 days earlier (Thursday). Even though they advertised it would be till Sunday.
Kunming's illegal street racing scene
Posted byHmm, sounds like every day driving in KM. Risking your life in an attempt to get to where you have to be.
It feels and looks just like a Demolition Derby here.
(Today a guy threatened to ram our car twice! because he was jealous that we were driving 5 Kph faster than him and using our "indicator light" to offend him...)
It becomes really sad when drivers here don't care about making life hard for people who are ill, pregnant or disabled. Or cause injury or death to others because it is of no concern to them or is simply beneficial to them. I've seen it happen. No deaths yet, but close enough...
Golden rule:
"What you don't know won't hurt you."
