@liumingke: Yeah - note the popularity of McDonald's, KFC and their clones - the question is not whether they are 'fake'.
@ET: 1. Most people do not.

Most of the above is true but note that a lot of kids grow up in Kunming and, although I'm sure you can, as in other places, find kids who have suffered or do suffer serious consequences from pollution if you look far enough, I' can't remember having met or known about any kids who have so suffered in the 13&1/2 years I've been here. Like everyone else I boil my drinking water and eat whatever I want and buy vegetables and meat in the market. Reasonable care and I doubt you'll have any serious problems (naturally, you have to adjust, as anywhere). Plenty of other places are worse, in China and internationally.

P.S. Dolphin, your dating of 'dinosaurs': "Hua Yang Guo Zhi, a book written by Chang Qu during the Western Jin Dynasty (265–316), reported the discovery of dragon bones at Wucheng in Sichuan Province."
Well, I guess they could have been dragon bones...

Hopefully somebody will be paying attention to this kind of thing while they are busy banning those polluting swimmers - or is the water in fact not clean enough to swim in? My impression is that it is clean enough.

OK, cloudtrapezer, agreed. Tourism is an industry run on an absurd basis that produces contradictory demands in the promotion of profitable businesses dependent on catering to rather absurd (especially in the case of ethnic tourism) dreams of a relatively new tourist industry, and I agree with what you say about the Chinese media. The contradiction evident in this recent scarp between local vendors and, apparently rather arrogant, tourists. The route this kid of development is taking, however, is not likely to get less contradictory as the tourist industry become less 'new' - the best you'l get is a 'PC', smug, attitude among those who benefit from it and still consider themselves above it all.

I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.
