I like the Xinjiang Tianshan Muslim Restaurant. I spent 3 weeks in Xinjiang and the food at Tianshan is pretty close. Also compares well with Uyghur joints in Beijing. 羊肉串, the 5元 sticks, are great. The la mian is huge. Go hungry.

blobbles' suggestions are pretty good but won't work.

Recently a new Korean restaurant opened and got four reviews totaling 19 stars. Clearly, the reviews were out and out BS. I live within a 10 minute walk but the blatant non reviews are a turn off.

Is posing as objective reviewers and telling lies ethical? Isn't bearing false witness for the purpose of commercial gain against some religious beliefs.

Any rating scheme under taken by GoK would require far too much subjective judgement by GoK staff. Judgement not of the review content, but of the honesty of the poster.

I read the Korean restaurant reviews and decided BS reports was enough to make uninterested in going there.

The current system works. Not well of course, but trying to create aggregate ratings would work less well.

More info:

"China urges citizens to report illegal immigrants, tightens rules"

Not just a crackdown, this law appears to be a major shift in the way expats will be handled in China. If you are here and your status is legal there does not seem to be much to worry about. If you are working illegally, don't piss off you girl friend.

Rhino horn is not ivory. Rhino is mostly keratin, like finger nails and hair. It is ground into a powder, then boiled in water for use in TCM. Many aliments are treated with rhino horn. It is not used as an aphrodisiac.

Good for quality, but pricey, hand tools.

Be aware they will push whatever they are selling. Some of the staff have no idea about the technical side of appliances.

I went there to buy a stove. I repeatedly told them I would be using bottled gas. They sold me a stove. When I went to my local gas guy, I learned there are at least three kinds of gas sold. Luckily, B&Q did not deliver as promised. I went back to the store and discovered they had sold me a stove they needed to be hooked up to the gas main. I got my money back.

The sales lady was almost in tears, 没有问题！I don't know if it a safety or design issue, but I would think B&Q would know and care.

Last week had an 8:45am flight.

Subway starts at 9am. I have no idea where to catch an airport express bus. Eight taxis refused to go to the airport. After almost an hour standing on Beijing Lu took a black taxi, this dude drives slower than my mother, 120 yuan.

Flight back was delayed so I learned the subway stops running at 6:10pm.

Getting a taxi back was easy, more taxis than customers. Taxi was 87 yuan including 1o yuan toll, airport to Beichen area. Yes, he took a longer route than necessary.

Kunming imagines being a gateway for international travelers. New airport but hard to get to and from it.

World Class Airport, NOT!

Tonight "Peacock", a performance by Yang Liping (杨丽萍), to begin her world tour, 8pm, 100-1680 yuan at Yunna Haigeng Auditorium.

Saw this lady perform at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, in California, in 1995. Quite a good and interesting show.

I'm going to try to make it.

Not so good. Kimchi had a very sour taste. Other food was nothing to brag about. I don't think I would go back.
