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

I know several western foreigners here who earn from remote online work (translation, editing, programming). Growing number of westerner-run bars, cafes, restaurants; some involved with int'l corps; guy who's into building things (mini-golf, other); photographers, writers, gokunming journalists; a few westerner artists, graphic designers; foreigner language students, some doing postgrad fieldwork (anthropologists, linguists, others; people with NGOs of various sorts; a few MDs).

There are health issues with eating almost anything, I think. Grain-eaters tend to have bad teeth; meat-eaters who eat little grain have good teeth (plenty of archaeological evidence based on teeth from before & after the Neolithic Revolution (invention of agriculture), as well as on folks who eat little grain & lots of meat today vs. moderns, most of whom have grain-based diets with or without meat).

Alex: I'm also an omnivore, eat meat (I love good beef). I have been presented with specific animals, alive, watched them being slaughtered (though not cows - sheep, pigs, chickens) and have eaten them. I too am moved by the way I feel at the moment and so have ignored personal reform. Mea culpa.
I do feel/think, however, that if you can't stand to see clearly what you are doing and still do it, you're guilty of lying to yourself - a virtually universal failure of all of us.

Will be interesting to see the effect of this on pollution in Anning and Kunming, if any, which was the object of a demo last May, and to hear more about the environmental issues that were of concern in Myanmar.
And in what sense are the Straits of Malacca 'nominally United-States controlled'?

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.
