I take it you mean 'community of foreigners'. I'm not sure that there's only one, but you might start at Salvador's Coffee Shop to meet foreigners and some Chinese who speak English. Some francophones hang out at the French Cafe, just around the corner from Salvador's. And the foreign (mostly US) Protestant Christian folks are likely to be found at the Wicker Basket (bakery-restaurant - excellent bread - 2 locations), as well as at their English-language church services.
Kunming Nos. 1 & 2 hospitals, and at least some others, practice western medicine. If you can't speak Chinese yet you might want to take along a Chinese friend to help you - many of the doctors will be able to speak some English, but other staff will not.
Bicycles, eco-buses and the new underground trains seem the best we can do.
Travelling by bicycle on mountain trails has always seemed to me to be a kind of gimmick - obviously impractical. However, I'm sure it takes a lot of skill and if you like it, do it.
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No surprise - androids are nearly universal in advertising, as the goal is always to manipulate rather than simply to inform - but I take your point about their preponderance in the propagation of this particular commodity.
