    For *some* things (like cheese or salami) you do have to pay at least the european prices here.

    I'm glad, happy and thankful that there are some restaurants really committed to quality. Eating at Sandra's is heaven to me.

    I'm strumming my uke all alone - would love to play together with other people, just for the fun of it.

    So if you have a ukulele too: let's rock!

    Hi everybody,

    today a job offer was posted, that made me research a little bit.

    It's about marketing a "new private Chinese language school in Kunming" called "Minds Abroad":

    http://gokunming.com/en/classifieds/item/4282/

    They already did massive web marketing in May and June. But I doubt that the school really exists. Haven't found any address or person's names, not to mention a school license. In some online forums users that all just registered in May or June praise the school as "well known".

    Just google for +mindsabroad.com +"well known".

    So, maybe they do the marketing first, and the school second - but I'd be very cautious about it.

    Hello, last year after six weeks of searching for a large bike, i finally gave up and bought a foldable one. The small wheels leave space for my legs. Everything else was uncomfortable. I'm still very happy with it.

    I bought it at the (old) second hand market. It was new, though. Paid 300 RMB.

    There is a forum post about the new location of the second hand market. It should be somewhere south of the trainstation now:

    Good luck!

  • Kunming > Sandra's

    What a difference a week makes! After renovation the place has such a sophisticated yet inviting tone, it's stylish and comfortable at the same time.

    The greatest change though are the two new big wine shelves (must be at least 150 bottles) packed with an amazing selection of wines. Starting at 96 RMB there are quite a few fine wines under 150 RMB.

    At the very first moment, I was afraid the place could be tooo fancy now. Or change into a wineshop. But it's *Sandra's*. Sandra is as welcoming, joyful, tough and down to earth as always. And that goes well with gorgeous wines and beautiful surrounding.

    And the excellent food, of course. But that was also before the renovation. Ask for the specials!
