Any musicians, if you have time and want to consider starting up a band, I have just arrived to KM and plan to do just that.... anyone with decent ability at ANY instrument, western or Chinese, drop a line and we can get the ball rolling on this. If your locked into a particular genre of music, (I.E. you want to start a band that is classifiable as something like rock or folk) this is not the band for you. I have a few recordings of some things ive done mixing guitar and guzheng in the past, id be happy to share those too.... remember, the sooner we start, the sooner we start to get good.
Yeah, Kunming is a hard place to pick up a job. I locked one down about a month ago that starts september first, but for you I could honestly reccomend WEB english school. It is designed to be very smooth and effective for teachers, and if it is anything like where I live now the pay isnt too bad either. Good luck.
I'm moving to Kunming August 31st and want to bike a few hundred kilometers a week, maybe in stints of around 80-120 kilos per journey, if anyone wants to join or tell me some good routes, ill take what I can get
You obviously know little to nothing about the Asian Black Bear, so let me fill you in, Matt from Georgia.
The Asian Black Bear is not only found in Zhaotong, but in many parts of Asia, including, but not limited to, the Indian Subcontinent, Taiwan, Korea, northeastern China, the Russian far east and the Honshū and Shikoku islands of Japan. While being similar to the Brown Bears that you Georgians can relate to, the Asian Black Bear interestingly is more lightly built with slender limbs. While being naturally diurnal, (not relating to one's bathroom habits) in places populated by humans they tend to be more nocturnal. Most importantly, they are characterized by the white V-shape on their chest.
Read more books, Matt from Georgia, and you might be able to learn more about this and other mammals native to Yunnan Province.
I think in coordnation with this story, GoKM should have a special 杨林肥酒 night at a nightspot of their choice. I think it could go well.....and end horribly.
your best bet would probably be to start from the qiaotou side and do the 26 bends in the beginning...it is a tough hike, but what would probably be best for your mum is to let her hop on a horse until you get to the top. From there it is pretty level and not too tough. Then depending on your pace, you could stay at the tea horse guesthouse which is the first one you will come across, or the halfway house, which is probably around 30-60 minutes from tea horse depending on your pace. both guesthouses have amazing scenery to be viewed from your hotel room
Also, big thanks to you Colin, as well as everyone else involved and who attended to make an event that wont be forgotten anytime soon. I would also like to send thanks to Foca Loca art studio for their time, and although the event being stopped by 'the man' cut our auction short, all paintings will be available for purchase at slice of heaven, with all proceeds going to Liping.
Furthermore, I hope that yesterdays festival is just the tip of the iceberg with these sort of art/music/charity events. If anyone has any ideas or any interest in volunteering to help plan these events in the future, send me an email at seanweatherall@yahoo.com and we can start planning to the next big event. Thanks Kunming for being awesome.
สวัสดีครับ! Went there for the first time today and had the Red Curry and a Thai milk tea. Twas awesome and definitely worth a visit for those who are craving authentic Thai flavor.
Lost Garden's kitchen has became a Saratrical masterpiece! Great tea just the way it should be made, combined with tangy and titilating specialties from the south of the US, South of the border, and beyond! Rooftop is Kunmings top place to catch some rays and chill out with a book or some buddies and booze. Look forward to menu expansion and much love to the mastermind chef in the Kitchen!
Revolutionary in the grand scheme of food options for health nuts and herbivores in Kunming. From some spicy fresh spring rolls to rockin' lentil curries, a great option for anyone who likes healthy and unique!
After somewhat of an 'As You Like' hiatus, caused by work and life in general, I was lucky enough to find some time for a latte and a mushroom and cream calzone at lunch today. The place has continued to improve in both the categories of taste and general quality. Those who haven't been, I would say it is in your best interest to make an effort to find the place and if you are in the Wenlinjie/wenhuaxiang area, you'll discover its right under your nose. Great place to chill, relax, and get away from the traffic, noise, and distractions that Kunming brings your way.

发布者That's a suspicious looking potted plant in the sixth photo.......Good article, I'll have to make my way there sooner or later.
