Forums > Living in Kunming > apartment in a good area to live

Stores everywhere. Metro up Beijing Road, area called Beichen, not really near the center, but plenty of foreigners around there, and reasonably quiet. A Carrefour near there too. Modern apartments in the area. Main Walmart is near, or maybe in, the center, near the main Carreefour - there are several Carrefours and Walmarts, but I don't know where they all are as I rarely use Carrefour and never use Walmart or, so far, Metro.

@Blobbles: Note that I put 'assimilating' in ' ' - I don't think the word is appropriate, and I think what you say about assimilation in China is correct. My guess is that the word 'adaption' is more or less what the writer meant - one can adapt, although I won't argue that 100% adaption is possible either - I never completely adapted to the place where I grew up. I don't think it's a good idea to deny who one is, where one comes from or what one eats, whether it's traditional to where they come from or not - I don't. However, people do change, and who one is changes, to varying degrees, and nobody has to be a slave to tradition.

1. All over.
2. Yes, I guess so.

Taufic, if you're thinking of moving here, I strongly suggest that you come take a look at the place first.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.

As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.

Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.

Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
