Sarah, just go to Yuanyang and stop worrying. As everybody here has said, your chances of getting Japanese encephalitis here are way below your chances of tripping while walking on a flat sidewalk near your home, falling and crushing your skull on impact. I'm sure there are places in the world where the disease is really rampant, but not in Yunnan.
So you answer it, they want personal info and you don't give it - what's the problem?
I know it is possible to get the disease in Yunnan, but is this a big worry? Malaria is also possible, but pretty unlikely, even in Banna in rainy season.
Might be better to answer, somebody might be checking to see if you're apartment is empty - business name cards left on apartment doors are sometimes for this purpose - if the cards are still there a day later, some thief may figure you're out of town. Or so my landlady says.
Terrible idea.
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.

发布者The John Wayne film is ridiculous.
Comparing ethnic minorities/minority nationalities in China to American Indians...a lot of ugly history of interethnic conflict in China, but nothing I know of that quite equals what was done to the earlier North Americans by the European immigrants and their descendants.
