@Mutigers: 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical School - big place. If you can't speak Chinese you may have some trouble, so you might want to take a friend along.

Very strongly suggest you come and take a look before you do anything.
#2 Hospital has one, and I think other hospitals must too. I had some experience with the eye folks at #2 hospital, but it was just a matter of examining a new condition (new floaters) to see what it was. They did it right. Condition not serious but probably permanent, so I haven't done anything further.
Another time, had bad lung infection, affected my eye socket a bit; went to nearest hospital (on Jinhuapulu about 2 blocks north of Renminxilu - private, cheap, small), they gave me a lung X-ray, prescribed antibiotics for 5 days, I did it, it cleared up.
But I rarely have any serious sinus problems and no allergies that I know of.
Bystanders often remain that (especially when there's a fight), but I was helped by one when I passed out suddenly at a bus stop & fell into the bus lane. I woke up almost immediately & was okay after & so that was the end of it. Never had any other situations requiring random bystander help in many years here, so I can't comment on what may usually happen.
Earthquake possibilities normal in this part of China. The terrible one that just occurred happened quite far from Kunming - no serious effects on Kunming, doesn't matter what part of town you were in. I didn't feel a thing. However, there is construction going on near my flat which occasionally vibrates the building in a very minor way, so I might not have noticed it.
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@Walter: Interesting, didn't know that. If they were cleared out, who would probably replace them?

发布者@bluppfisk: Thanks, that's about what I thought. Seems to involve a lot of gambling that intimately affects the lives of those who aren't interested in, or who are economically prevented from, playing such games. I think it pisses people off, especially when they are forced to lose.
