Sunday: Free documentary screenings at Yuansheng Studio Last year, the documentary festival Yunnan Multi Culture Visual Festival, aka Yunfest, was on the receiving end of a government smackdown just days before it was scheduled to be take place.

One of the more notable but-lesser known newcomers to the Kunming dining scene is Moonlight Corner, a Thai restaurant featuring Thai management, Thai chefs and fresh imported Thai ingredients. Its location on a hill in the Expo Gardens boasts one of the best views of the Kunming skyline to be found anywhere in the city. Tonight Moonlight Corner will celebrate its first birthday with a masquerade party (they'll provide the masks) and Thai buffet plus games, music and a costume contest. The buffet begins at six and costs 168 yuan, rsvp at 5013125. Latin Carnival Night at The Hump Bar The Hump Bar at Jinma Biji Fang will host a Latin Carnival party Saturday night featuring live Brazilian music and plenty of dancing - one of the better ways to fend off the cold this weekend. Free salsa, meringue and samba lessons will be offered beginning at 9 pm and caipirinha and piña colada drink specials will be on offer all night. Admission to the party in the Hump Bar - located on the first floor beneath the Hump Guesthouse - is free. Live Jazz with GENE at TCG Nordica An alternative to Kunming's steady diet of punk, metal and post rock, Scandinavian gallery TCG Nordica will host the jazz group GENE on Saturday night for an 8 pm concert for 30 yuan. Rugby World Cup championship match at Chapter One This weekend the Rugby World Cup wraps up, with the France-Argentina consolation match to be shown live at Chapter One Saturday at 3 am (note to the temporally challenged: that's late-night tonight). The championship match between England and South Africa will be shown Sunday at 3 am. As with the last two weekends, BeerLao will be on special for 10 yuan/bottle from the start of each match until the first points scored.

Despite the last gasps of the rainy season putting a damper on the weather, there are still plenty of reasons to get out of the house this weekend. A blind rock musician on tour, Thai and Scandanavian barbecue, an exhibition opening and televised Rugby World Cup semifinals are just some of what will be going on this around Kunming. Here's a rundown: Zhou Yunpeng at Halfway House Folk rock guitarist Zhou Yunpeng (周云蓬) plays the Halfway House tonight in support of "Chinese Kids" (中国孩子), his new album on Beijing-based indie label Modern Sky. Zhou is one of the more interesting stories in Chinese rock at the moment. By the age of nine he was fully blind, at the age of 15 he began playing guitar, later he began writing poetry and songs and is now on one of China's top homegrown labels. Zhou Yunpeng plays the Halfway House at 9pm tonight, admission is 20 yuan. Weekend barbecues at Moonlight Corner and TCG Nordica Thai restaurant Moonlight Corner is launching its weekend Thai barbecue menu tonight. The restaurant - located in the World Horticultural Expo Gardens in northeast Kunming - will be offering Thai barbecue specialties including herbal grilled fish and grilled squid every Friday through Sunday night from 5 to 9 pm. Scandinavian gallery TCG Nordica will also be holding regular weekend barbecues at its location in The Loft (aka Chuangku - 创库). The barbecues will feature several kinds of meats and vegetables and begin at 6 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. "Seeds of Hope" exhibition opening This Saturday, TCG Nordica will host the opening of "Seeds of Hope", its exhibition of works by artists Eta Hedman and AnnaKarin Svensson. The opening begins at 8pm Saturday night, refreshments and snacks will be provided.
