What IS a 'backpacker' these days anyway? Do you get put in another category just because you get on & off an airplane with a backpack instead of a suitcase?

Forums > Living in Kunming > violence at train station

@AndrewD: thanks for you open apology. I was going to ask if there is some good reason why discussions of this, or anything, had to descend into insults and name-calling. Few if any of us really care what you guys think of each other. If there is a good reason for this, somebody tell me what it is - but somewhere else, as its way off topic.

@mmkunming:OK, but I didn't mean that it's all subjective, I just meant that, subjectively speaking and only referring to what I enjoy eating, I like O'Reilly's. Obviously (I hope) there are other considerations.

Subjective: for a 'good' burger go to O'Reilly's, not to some fastfood corporation. Note that I'm not referring to 'good' as indicative of healthy or moral or ecologically sensible - I mean I like to eat it, and I think most people who like hamburgers will agree with me.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Consulate in China warns Americans

US consulates and embassies all over the world usually ere on the side of caution in their various warnings. Perhaps that's not so bad, but it's important not to knee-jerk everything they say as some kind of serious or Americans would never have the guts to go anywhere.

Well, it's somewhat commercialized, but yeah, it's a really interesting place. Has been a considerable amount of construction of temples etc. at Weibaoshan, and this, I think, mostly for tourism purposes.

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.
