went to that place earlier... not easy to find! for anyone thinking of going, it's not exactly well maintained. the astroturf is dirty as is the rest of the place. also, the pitch is a bit small (even for 5-a-side). anyway, it was a bit of fun.
if anyone wants to join in next Tuesday we'll be there again. it should be around 2 - 3pm but send me a message on 15288371960 to confirm. don't expect much as we just go for a kick about rather than a serious game or anything!
thanks for the info and the quick reply. i'm going to play in a few minutes with a few guys from work but you'd be welcome to join us next time. it will hopefully be a regular thing after today.
hi, does anyone have the address of 'Happy Soccer'. it's an indoor football place near Beijing Lu. don't know if that's the name or if it's just a translation of a chinese name! the address in chinese and pinyin would be great. thanks in advance.
Richland hospital - north Beijing Lu. 1 buss stop past the Wallmart stop. you'll see it just before the bus stop on your left (as you head north). clean, private, friendly, honest. Y30 for the consultation...
Good job with the restaurant so far Charles. I have to agree that Kunming has changed a lot and that hasn't made it easy for anyone in some respects. The Sunday dinners have never failed to please. Best of luck for the future to you guys.
taxi drivers (ebike/motorbike/licensed/Didi) seem to hate the competition from these bikes and have been known to 'move' them or otherwise make them unusable. I've witnessed some shop owners moving the bikes from near their store front. I've also seen several local xiaoqu guards and city management officers piling them up recently. There were always quite a few within eyesight of my apartment but not any more... I now need to walk around to find one which negates the whole idea in my opinion. At least one of these companies have to fold soon.
"China typically does not interfere in the sovereign operations of other countries"
lol... isn't that exactly what they just did. AGAIN.
They only appear to take the Switzerland option when it's convenient these days.
a lovely place to stay with great views of Yulong xueshan (JadeDragon snow mountain) from the roof! Beautifully decorated and hosts that make you feel like family. A million miles better than most other places locally. I can't recommend this place enough.
i thought i'd give this place another try as my usual place was closed today. even though there is now more choice, i was not impressed by the menu. they do have an apparently good range of coffees for up to 80 kuai but even a basic latte is Y26 now. the drinks were OK but nothing special and certainly not worth the money. the place looked somehow cleaner too and was certainly busier! why have so many of the cafes in this area decided that it's fine to raise their prices by so much (in some cases almost double)? i doubt i'll be going back. the 2 stars are because it was just OK and they've obviously made some effort.
not a bad selection of stuff and some of the staff obviously know their way around a bike. however, the 'special' prices for foreigners and the fact that some of the staff will use a big hammer to fix anything keeps me from going back. you could do better.
I won't go there again. The yoghurt is tasty and the curries are usually ok (they seem to vary in quality depending on the day and time). What really annoys me is the fact that they can't comprehend that I order dishes to eat TOGETHER... if my curry arrives 30 minutes after all the other dishes it's not really acceptable. Then again, neither is the 1 hour wait for the rest of the food or the incorrect dishes being sent. By the way, why can't I sit on the 3rd floor until both of the other floors are packed full? Has it never occurred to them that I might want a quiet meal and, after all, I am paying for it!

China hands out happy city awards, Kunming sad
发布者It's worth mentioning that Chengdu and Hangzhou have won almost every year. Both are OK but neither would get my vote.

发布者Good luck to them. They get a harsh press but they often deserve it. With that said, I woudln't want their job... can't be easy.
