My guess is that the 'no indoor central heating south of the Yangtse' policy was reasonable when China was developing after the 100-year period of chaos - matter of using limited resources where they're needed. I wish they'd change policies now, and concentrate on efficient building heating that doesn't waste the resources. And avoid air conditioning everywhere it's not needed (buses and all housing in Kunming, for example - but they're doing the opposite with the buses - summer here is nothing. Do the newer housing units have air conditioning? I never think to notice when I'm in one). And think of the power waste involved with the space heaters everyone buys, as a bad alternative (yeah, I've got one too, use it all winter).

Seems necessary - purely local administrations are unlikely to consider the effects of their actions on areas under other local administrations. On the other hand, if this just means Kunming-based Yunnan administrators making all decisions for local inhabitants without their consultation it will likely not work, or will lead to other problems. But something does need to be done about Erhai.

I wonder if any of the problems that have to do with unlicenced vendors etc. might have something to do with a (relative) downturn in an economy, a lack of well-paying jobs for those with few formal qualifications, and an increasingly unequitable socio-economic system?

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.
