Well only been Nine months here myself but plan on making it a lot longer! I first came here to meet my girlfriend as she had moved back to Kunming from London and wanted to see her again, not just leave it at that lol.
Once in Kunming though I got a feel for the place and thought why not stay longer than just a month or two. Started learning Chinese set a date for our wedding and 'bam' that's it, China has now become my home for at least the next few years :)
Just going to be a lot of learning to fit in here though but learning is something positive not negative anyway, so am looking to enjoy this time of going forward together with my wife!!!
Probably be looking to go back to the UK for xmas as it would of been long over year away then and a good time to hook up with family, I'm lucky in that some are coming here next month so not to bad.
Let's see what happens eh ;o)

发布者@yankee00, no promotional things handed out, the nearest they came with that was a few small British flags around the food selections lol

发布者Well if you looking for British food at culinary event you'll be pretty disappointed as I ended up lol
It was the same usual buffet (good as normal) but with a few British selections added and these wasn't the real deal either! Fish & chips were one, consisted of thinly cut pieces of potato plus little bits of cod in soggy batter, deserts were the only good thing with blackberry crumble and bread pudding tasting quite good :) but still more Chinese and Indian selections than British.
All in all a good buffet as usual but not a British culinary buffet by no stretch!
Oh well, still stuffed lol

发布者That 368rmb price has always been the same at the hotel for the buffet whether or not they doing the British promotion, still go once a month as they do a proper moneys worth variety and selection of foods & drinks, got to treat yourself every now and then lol.
Be checking the British one tonight so let you know how it went regarding food quality, in other words was it the real deal, not chinglish grub lol
