Forums > Living in Kunming > Smoking in Starbucks

@Debaser: recognizing something as culture does not make them either right or wrong. Smoking in `a non-smoking place`is offensive or not depending on whether the place is culturally accepted as `non-smoking` or is merely `non-smoking` because some authority - perhaps not one that is respected - passed a law against smoking there.

@Spartans: Sorry people smoke in restaurants in China where they`re not supposed to, but you react way, way over the line - wars have been started for less. Why not just call in the Marines and be done with it?

@HFCampo: no, it wasn`t.

If a habit is not a cultural practice, what is it?

@Dazzer: I agree, not your job to teach `them`, but somehow `the `they` in `they gotta change` presumes something...

Forums > Living in Kunming > re-registering with the PSB

Have left and returned to Kunming numerous times yearly for over 10 years. If I actually leave China I re-register when I come back to Kunming; if I go somewhere else in China (other than Hong Kong) I don't bother. Cop has visited me once only at my flat, just to see that I really lived there - no hassle. Have never reported leaving town before going.
But yeah, I also think that different local PSB stations perhaps have different attitudes. Anyway, it's all pretty easy to comply with, whatever they want you to do.

Train - don't know time of journey - depends on what you mean by suitable.

What's behind this kind of thing? Are some of the tourist-business people gangsterish or what? Arrogant attitudes of tourists towards locals? Anybody lived in Lijiang who might know?

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.
