That particular apartment would be about Y1000, maybe Y1100. Similar ones might be Y1200, but not up to Y1500, I think.
Every Sunday afternoon at around 4PM.
My rent was Y375 in 2003 - single bedroom, sitting room, kitchen, bath, a little scrabbly sun porch, in a xiaoqu built 1993, one of the earliest of the 'modern' xiaoqus in Kunming.
Virtually no back cards for Chinese bank accounts, and if you had one there was virtually no place to use it, especially if you traveled away from Kunming.
Weed was all wild.
The Dali scene was better, more laid back, friendlier, not as overrun by tourists as now, though that had started. Jinghong did not have all the new crap expensive hotels etc. along the river, but it took a lo-ong busride to get there. Probably 2 days by bus to Hekou.
No results found.
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.
Too bourgeois.
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.
Ain't no flies on Salvador's.

发布者The group-tourist industry largely exists to prevent people from traveling and to make them think that they have.

发布者Stikes me as really weird that any tourists would put up with this kind of crap.
