I saw some people burning stuff on the pavement yesterday, only 2 people in a walk of about 3-4km so clearly it is dying out (if it was indeed yesterday). Once we die we should no longer need money, food, etc. By all means remember your loved ones when they have passed, no need to burn money and food etc. Having said that, these cultural traditions make the world more interesting - but only if they are understood and appreciated by the people doing them. The CNY and wedding traditions for example, seem to be enjoyed and understood by almost nobody, yet they are continued emptily, much for the resentment of many young people.

It'll be a lot cheaper than Shanghai! I rent a nice apartment for 2,500 a month. If you had a budget of say 8,000 a month you should be able to get a really nice place. Those really nice places may be a bit few and far between, but hopefully they exist.

The air is better than Shanghai most of the time. You get the odd bad day or couple of days, but its usually relatively good for a PRC city. And down south by KIA the air is better than downtown.

There must be consequences to their refusal to manage their business responsibly and pay out. In days gone by they would have been sent to poor rural areas for 're-education'.

@JanJal yeah I didn't really understand that point either!
@Hotwater in the guys defence, I think he was explaining why it happens rather than condoning it. Not quite the same thing.

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.
