Forums > Study > Book Club Kunming

Used to be an English-language book discussion group in Kunming, mostly fiction. We all read the same work, one chosen mutually, then talked about it - was every week, or maybe every 2 weeks. I'd like to get it going again.
Interest?

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Nonchinese tourists behaving badly

@yankee: see Magnifico's earlier post. The journal Nomadic Solidarity (e.g., www.academia.edu/[...] may help. but they are not exactly those I was referring to as 'the little bastards', who are here when you meet them and gone when you don't. Those who are interested in the specific Yunnan connection might look at the history of the area (e.g., that of the Hmong (Miao), numerous Tai peoples, others). Visits to Salvador's may or may not help - start with the greyhounds during Happy Hour(s).

The author Jim Goodman may well understand this - have to contact him, he may be on a secret mission also. And long-term foreign residents may remember the noble efforts of 'Tal*ban Howard'.

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.

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.
