@Campo: Interesting bureaucratic thinking about release of weather info, etc. Quite a few years ago I taught private English classes to a Mainland businessman in Hong Kong - he made the interesting comment that, largely as a result of the CR, the first things he'd think of when waking up in the morning were all the things he must avoid doing, rather than the possibilities of things he might do, and he recognized this as a misordering of priorities, for business dealings at any rate, that was ingrained in his head.

Done. Could have used more participants and contributions, but I think it should be chalked up as a success. Not another fundraiser for this organization scheduled for Kunming in November, I think - believe it will be oriented towards (mostly foreign) live music fans and drinkers.

Similar formations in Sichuan at either Huanglang or Huanglong (2 different places, and I can't remember which is which), with the difference that those are not so white, but have some color to them.

Third try right: ok, actually Yi's book is mostly about the people in the hills rather than the Dai, but the whole situation in Banna involves a lot of practices that were ecologically sensible until modern times, and the issue of the rubber plantations is dealt with.

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.
