I'd suggest the bad days will begin on Friday, and get worse over the following 3 days.

Well now, seems the Camel is running their regular Tuesday ad for jam night, but I rather suspect that's just because somebody forgot to cancel it.
Thanks for the warning, Peter, but I'm pretty sure we will be able to handle this tremendous catastrophe. Hasn't happened yet, as I'm presently using my VPN. But yeah, limiting communications is a negative, of course, though I just might be able to hobble along, traumatized, without facebook. I seriously doubt the party-state is likely to cut off my communications with my bank, or disallow making flight reservations.
@ AlPage: nope, it's gone for good - this from Deng Ling herself.
Lotta local expat and local musical history associated with this bar, and with Deng Ling, the entrepreneurial owner, over the past 20 years. I think I can speak for many in wishing her well.
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.

Getting Away: A return to Shaxi
发布者Sorry: Sideng. In a sense the tourism started with the Swiss project, but they did a really good job at preservation of buildings etc., and from the photos Sideng still is beautiful.

发布者I understand that the place has become more touristified in the last 2&1/2 years - an American student-semester-abroad program has moved out of Xideng for that reason.

发布者Do you mean Shaxi-area Yunnan Chinese food, perhaps Bai food? Last time I was there was 2&1/2 years ago, and except for 'Alan's' pizzas at his bar on the square, all restaurants were, unsurprisingly, Chinese, though several places were run by people from outside of Yunnan. Is Xilu Bai?
I don't understand why this guy was beating dogs, or how that might keep the place safe, but I guess he is nuts, huh?
