Forums > Living in Kunming > sound familiar?

A very interesting read, and I agree with nnoble. Chinese people will often ask foreigners the same set of questions, but these are usually the same sorts of questions they ask each other (any Chinese with an odd accent is asked "Where are you from?"), or of genuine curiosity ("Do you like Chinese food?") or just questions that they think are simple enough for you to understand ("How long have you lived in China?"). So many Chinese people have an, understandably, limited understanding of foreign affairs and real western culture, I think it's unfair to expect more subtle or incisive questioning most of the time. Even Yang Rui struggles with this!

Forums > Living in Kunming > some suggested forum guidelines

On the Search Function, it would be really helpful for results to be listed in date order (most recent first). To have results from 2007 or earlier pop up near the top is annoying and confusing. I've mentioned this to the GoKunming team before, but no progress. Shouldn't be too hard, right?

Forums > Living in Kunming > Shane English School - Is it a good place to work?

I'm going to put in a good word for Robert's School. I've worked there for 6 years alongside an excellent team of foreign teachers, most of whom have been at school for many years and some of whom joined us from Shane School. Great atmosphere, legit visas, competitive salaries and flexible working conditions.

Saw a couple of Chengguan officers hassling some poor guy selling freshly made popcorn yesteday (with a sizeable queue waiting to buy it) whilst behind them 100+ middle-class teenagers were blocking up WenLingJie with their illegal back-of-the-car nonsense. Double standards?

Has anyone noticed any beauty yet? I see roads that have been broken for years left broken. I see perfectly OK kerbstones ripped up and different kerbstones laid down again. Are any roads getting bigger or smaller? I see no new trees? Has anywhere finished being beautified yet?

Needless to say the "24 hour running water" promise lasted ...24 hours! We've been back to an hour a day ever since. Can't trust anybody in this town...

Price is now 100RMB for adults, 70RMB for children.
Some of the animal areas are as far as 10+km from the entrance - you can buy a hop on/off bus ticket for 60RMB per person, but there are also clearly marked walkways for those who are full of energy.

Everything inside is pretty expensive - consider bringing a picnic.

Many of the animals are in large outdoor enclosures. Some are caged. The park calls itself a safari, but this is not a "drive your car amongst the animals" thing. It's more like a decent western zoo.
There are places to handle/be photographed with animals, for a fee. Also, some kids amusements.
The animal show is free, but a waste of time (unless you love watching goats, sheep, pigs, horses etc!!).
Good labelling i English thorughout.

Still worth a visit, especially for the arhat statues. The 11am vegetarian lunch is basic, but still only 10RMB. Free entry.

Prague cafe used to be my favourite cafe in Wenlin area but I went for lunch there today after a few months away and it's really gone downhill (new owners?). The menu was a photocopy, the food was lacklustre and much more expensive than before, the decor was dull and the service so-so. I won't be back there anytime soon.

It's open! And it's free. And its terrific for kids.

The museum is surprisingly interactive (although only 2/3 of the attractions are working) and modern (VR, simulators, touchscreens, etc). Sadly, no English on any of the displays but the fun is in trying to work out how the exhibits work and what they are supposed to be showing. Well worth a visit.
