Note trashing of the seas and serious reduction of many fish populations - tuna in the Med, for instance, much of which seems to go to Japan.

Forums > Living in Kunming > June - August in Kunming. Any suggestions?

Plenty of people in Kunming manage to get to their apartments, even those as high as the 7th floor - few older apartment buildings have more than that - without an elevator. Healthy and doesn't waste power. Doubt if you'll want to move more than once (out of a hotel and into an apartment) in a single summer.
Dazzer: All of the places you've mentioned, plus Beichen and others. Also obviously depends on who you want to meet. Personally, I like the Green Lake area, partly because it's near many universities, but I like it even when they're closed, in spite of the fact that it's not exactly the whole town.

Issue of killing is all over the map too - I don't consider the killing of a fish or a chicken the same as killing a pig or a cow - but then how much killing is necessary to feed, say, 10 people on chicken?
Issue of effect on environment of raising different animals also very variable - pigs can eat a lot of waste, for example, and sheep & goats can live off land that many other food animals can't live on - although it's also the case that they have contributed to events like, um, the growth of the Sahara Desert.
All complicated, but not totally beyond understanding, especially for those with scientific etc. credentials & experience.

The locals will likely want to keep them around if there's economic value (e.g., tourism) for doing so.

Can't connect with the link, but I think it's a culture that promotes very high regard for those you know &/or identify with (begins with family) but not a lot of regard for anonymous others - e.g., 'the public'.

@Alex: tourism & ziplines - tourism probably will do this, make it into just another entertainment - contact Disneyland.

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.
