Heard they're reopening this Friday, but possibly at a different location. I'll post a followup when I have more solid details from management.

I'm pretty sure there is a Thai bank that has all of their ATMs enabled for Union Pay... forget which one, though.

I stopped by and peeked through the window at the "American Market" this morning. The selection looked pretty limited: boxed mac 'n' cheese, chocolate sauce, canned soup and some cereal. But if you're looking for that sort of thing it might do...

2GB is two gigabytes...the subscription is on a monthly basis with no rollover of unused data from month to month (somebody can correct me if I'm wrong on that one).
You can also pay 20 yuan/month for a smaller amount of data (50 megabytes?) if your needs are not so high.

Shangri-la Zanglong Yak Hotpot
One of the more unique hotpot experiences available in Kunming. The higher priced cuts of yak meat, including the yak carpaccio, are excellent.
It's also about as vegetarian friendly as hotpot gets because each person gets an individual pot and there is a (purportedly) vegetarian broth available, as well as a range veggies and good highland barley noodles.

Airuochun
The Yunnan courtyard-style restaurants like Laofangzi, Deyiju, etc are generally up to the task for a solid meal at a somewhat higher-than-average price.
Airuochun is yet another of these options, but perhaps a little ahead of the pack, especially for its tasty pork and pigeon offerings.

Went here for lunch today. Nothing to write home about, but friendly service and a decent price.

Simao Wild Food Restaurant
Good place to go if you want to try some really strange food including bugs, snake, wild roots, etc. The veggies are also fresh and tasty.

Getting away: Changchong Mountain
Posted by(I was knackered this morning, so it only goes up to the disgusting fake stones, which are apparently thanks to a sponsorship deal with Hongyun tobacco company).
Getting away: Changchong Mountain
Posted byI logged the alternate route up the mountain and pasted the link below. Though it is very steep in some parts, I think this route is better because it's more of a trail and less of a road, has less traffic and requires less trekking up Longquan Lu.

GoKunming Year of the Rabbit Holiday Preview
Posted byJust updated to add Slice of Heaven and Lazy Bones. Slice of Heaven is only closed on Feb 3, so it's another Western option for most of the holiday.
