Some of it is fine, but much of it is not. For me, eating out is a bit of a gamble, so I try to eat home cooked food where possible.

You are lucky jon, you obviously have a tough stomach. There is a big difference between needing to go 'a bit sharpish' and spending days vomiting and spraying ass gravy like you've put your thumb over a hose pipe, unable to eat or drink anything (even water), so weak that you can barely get out of bed.

One thing that I don't think has been mentioned is green space. Kunming could do with a few more more parks in central areas. Hangzhou and Suzhou are lovely in this regard.

2 more points; one serious, one slightly trollish:
1) The 'greatest' cities in the world (London & New York) are such interesting places because they are mixing pots of many peoples and cultures. One of the nice things about Yunnan is the ethnic/cultural diversity. A pity then that Kunming does not really have the culinary diversity and pedigree that you would expect of a city of its size (though perhaps a certain somebody will disagree). Having said that, there are a couple of reasonable sushi restaurants, and some okayish Korean food. If you want to live in China, there are many worse places than here, but there may be better - anyone? If you could combine the best things about Hangzhou and Kunming, you'd have a pretty awesome place to live.

2) 'Colonialists' have kind of a bad name, but the nicest urban areas in China are the ones where there were foreign concessions. The Europeans knew/know how to build nice buildings and cities. China could learn a lot about civilised behaviour from other countries...

I'm not a climber, but I'd like to visit and hike there sometime. How long does it take by bus from Lijiang?

I say monitor the hell out of them, then ban them from travelling if they do anything wrong, and fire them if they work in the public sector. As for bad behaviour in China, it would be so easy (there are already loads of security guards, police, chenguan) they just have to start doing their jobs

In reality, it is only practised by people close enough to their ancestor's tombs. If you are a migrant worker or live 1000s of km from your home town, no way are you paying like a months wages to go home for a few hours to sweep a tomb.

a very pleasant park with a tall pagoda you can climb and take photos of the city if you wish. Roses in summer, blossom in spring, nice lawn to sit on, bbq areas.

Recently the food seems to be better. Decent steak at a decent price, decent pizza, some decent wine, and the music is more suitable these days (Rammenstein wasn't the right mood music for Cantina)!

Had lunch - grilled chicken on top of mashed cuttlefish and a salad. The chicken was tasty and well cooked, and there was plenty of meat/fish to fill up even a hungry person. The salad was overdressed and nothing special - I won't order one next time. The service is a decent imitation of what you might find in the west. A large menu of food and drink. A nice civilised place to go for food or drink, but some of the dishes (i.e. the steaks) are very pricey. You could easily spend 300rmb+ per person here. Equally, it is possible to have lunch for under 60rmb per person (as we did). Warning - the bottle of water on each table costs an eye watering 48rmb! Don't be a sucker by opening it!

Went for a spot of lunch. Best pizza I've had in Kunming by some distance. In fact, one of the best pizzas I've ever had - quality ingredients, thin base, cooked to perfection. Sashimi salmon tasted very fresh and was well presented. The drinks are expensive, and one of the waiters was letting the side down by being a bit scruffy and impolite (hence not 5 stars), but definitely go and try the pizza.

Not bad. Pizza base was a little thick for my taste. Great selection of craft beers in the fridge, a few beers on tap, and well priced mixed drinks and cocktails. Staff were pleasant. A 14" pizza is the perfect size for two people, and very reasonably priced at 45-70RMB. Beware that the English menu, whilst written in perfect English, is not necessarily accurate. I ordered the 'local one' pizza expecting pepperoni and mango but got neither. The waitress explained that was a mistake on the menu. Would be nice if the menu corresponded with what you get on the plate! Hopefully this will get sorted.
