@Napoleon: Yeah, it's got to be treated, so your water bill goes up. But why were there water cuts during the 4-5 years of Spring drought (2009-13 or so), and why were we told not to waste water during that time?

Very interesting history of the Catholic missionaries in the ethnic-Tibetan area of NW Yunnan & in Sichuan as well - heavy-taxing local Buddhist monastery & missionaries that didn't do that.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Reliable driving instructor

I agree that both bus & taxi drivers are a bit pushy, but I think the first characteristic of a good driver in traffic is possession of the skill not to cause accidents. And "Let the bus go first" (some kind of British or American slogan, perhaps exists elsewhere) is a good one, but I confess I do not cycle in Kunming.

As to driving instructors, I wonder what they teach too.

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.
