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.
Laos extradites drug suspects to Yunnan
发布者@HFCampo: Are you serious? This is not a rhetorical question.
1. What do you mean by point 1.?
2.I can't understand what interference you're talking about.
3. Not necessarily true. And one might argue that life is an addiction.
4. Why would you want to accept government definitions?
5.Profits is what private corporations get and what they are interested in; governments are interested in power, which they get largely thanks to its considerable degree of interchangeability with the money of th0ose who haul in the profits.
But again, I really can't take what you wrote seriously - I mean it, this is not backhanded dismissal or contempt. If, indeed, you are not trying to put us all on then I suggest you do a little thinking, which might well include a consideration of the opinions of others.

发布者@HFCampo: First of all, you'd better define 'drugs'. Do you want to kill all the pot smokers in Colorado? How about beer drinkers next?
And who are you going to trust, in a world in which rich parasites exert tremendous power, to decide who does & who does not contribute to society?
Death for disobedience, huh?

Donglianhua: Muslim outpost on the Tea Horse Road
发布者Good article - there's not nearly as much as there might be on Islam, and on the Hui population, which is quite large and has been very important historically for a long time, in Yunnan.
