I think there should be quite a few persons who speak both English and Chinese in Lijiang - quickest solution might be for somebody to go there and find one, tell him/her of the situation. Another possibility would be to go to the Cantina restaurant in Kunming, talk to Diego, the owner, as he ran a restaurant for years in Shuhe, now virtually a suburb of Lijiang, and (I would guess) knows a lot of people in Shuhe/Lijiang.
@Peter: I think pollution will likely become a large threat to social stability in the future as more & more people decide to raise hell about it, but I don't see that it's a large threat to social stability right now.
Business is here.
Yes, had to change gas stove and gas water heater - landlord responsible for taking care of and paying for this. But the thing apparently must be done by area - you can't just decide to hook up with the natural gas individually, as the network of pipes etc. becomes available by area (or anyway by xiaoqu, if you live in one). Guys dressed in red work uniforms came through the whole xiaoqu in 2 days, visited every flat to check final readings on gas meters (which didn't have to be changed - same one now reads natural gas use). Natural gas costs more per cubic meter, but I'm told less is necessary for same amount of heat.
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@Geezer: "Is the goal clean air or is the goal to dominate automobile production?"
Whose goal?
China to phase out fossil fuel cars, boost domestic electric vehicle industry
发布者Hmmm - complicated - we can screw ourselves in so many ways. Probably best to stick to bicycles and public transportation.
