@ Bucko: the one I bought has one side that was really very, very fine; the other side was a little coarser but very useful. I don't remember the price but I think it was something like Y20, maybe less.

I bought one around the corner in a hardware shop on Jiaoling Lu a few months ago, works fine. 2-sided, one side finer than the other. Don't remember the price, but it wasn't much. I used a little oil on the stone and my knife and chopper are now sharp.

I hope the largest chunk of this money will go to the necessary maintenance of the damn and to the filtration system, etc. - spending a lot of money on making things pretty for tourists is such a roundabout way to produce, supposedly through all them wonnerful trickle-down effects, a more reasonable wealth distribution, that it never really happens. And, as Kunming adds its zillionth car to the roads in order to ameliorate the desperate lives of the middle & upper classes, it is the 25% of the Yunnan population who live below the official poverty level that should be the target of spending efforts.

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.
