i've not poked about in it, so I don't know about selection or price, but there's a bedding store nearby you on Longxiang Jie 龙翔街 that looks like it might be what you're looking for. it's on the north side near the western end of the street. bring (metric) measurements - bed sizes here are not well standardised. good luck.
last time i went past when the door was open, they had gutted the inside and completely refitted it. i think it's safe to assume that it's gone. it was never the same since the Thai brothers left town anyway...
good point, zhubajie... it didn't cross my mind. here's the link: www.gokunming.com/[...]

not any more there isn't.
@serious_
there's nothing. if you're flexible there's a few things that might scratch the itch e.g. hummus/pita at Salvador's, tandoori items at Cacaja. good luck.
I ordered my horse to be brought from the stables. The servant did not understand my orders. So I went to the stables myself, saddled my horse, and mounted. In the distance I heard the sound of a trumpet, and I asked the servant what it meant. He knew nothing and had heard nothing. At the gate he stopped me and asked: "Where is the master going?" "I don't know," I said, "just out of here, just out of here. Out of here, nothing else, it's the only way I can reach my goal." "So you know your goal?" he asked. "Yes," I replied, "I've just told you. Out of here - that's my goal."

no-one's reviewed this place for nearly 3 years! i think i know why: it's solid. a bit boring maybe, but they get the job done: food on the table in good time, attentive staff, wide selection of items. the 'Prague Breakfast' is a fine feed, still good value after the recent price increase.
i joined friends here on the weekend. they were getting food and playing a game. the pizzas looked great, but my friends advised me to avoid them, saying they tasted bland.
having made a selection, it took 20 minutes for the staff to tell me that my choice was no longer available. as my friends had nearly finished their game, we then all took our business elsewhere.
helpful advice:
- if someone arrives, give them a menu
- sort out the beer selection
- if i speak to you in Chinese, speak back to me in Chinese
i've recently rediscovered this place. it's a little hit and miss, but i have to say that with a little experimentation, you can find some quality food here. while not perfect, the vindaloo is the best i've had.
i first sampled the Silver Spoon burgers a few weeks back - not bad at all, though i was unconvinced that they were 1/2 pound. another visit yesterday, and this time i was persuaded... definitely a fat burger. i was very happy with my cheese and bacon burger. diners with large appetites, be warned - you'll need a side of something to make a meal - the burger is just a burger - no fries.

Yunnan coffee producer found in violation of Nestlé trademark
发布者interesting stuff: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genericized_trademark
sounds like there's a difference of opinion on this subject across different jurisdictions - the wikipedia article contrasts the US and Germany. so, a key question is the view the Chinese legal system takes. any Chinese lawyers out there?
this must be a concern for any corporation with a major brand, but especially so if the legal environment involved has a protectionist streak.
World's largest recreational bicycle race coming to Yunnan
发布者should anyone coming over for the ride turn up this post, here's a few pointers:
road surface: the east side of the lake is unknown to me. i was there last october, and it was unsurfaced and definitely mountain bike terrain. a friend of mine was there february, and said the road was still unsurfaced. however, as NordicWays is suggesting this as being a suitable ride for a road bike, i presume it's now been surfaced. so, expect brand new blacktop.
the west side has plenty of concrete surface, which can get slick in the wet.
weather: it's rainy season in Yunnan, so assume it's going to rain. the plus side is that it doesn't get too cold in the summer rain here, unless you're doing mad descending. i would bring a rain cape or a long sleeved jersey though.
route: from yuxi over to the lake appears to be on the highway, which is usually closed to bikes, so no direct info there. as it's highway, i'm expecting it to be fairly level and well-surfaced.
west side, generally flat, but getting bumpier as you get more north. chances are we'll have a steady tail wind. up near jianshan (the peak you can see in the photo above) there's a fairly steep but short lived climb, followed by some nice descending - but watch out for the tight switchback (clear on the KMZ file from the organizers).
east side, also lots of flat, but there's a climb shortly after chengjiang, and one right after haikou zhen, which is about halfway down the east side.
fuxian lake is beautiful, the water clean, and the air over there is unpolluted. it should be a great day out.
Solar eclipse to sweep across China tomorrow
发布者i was rather impressed. glad i didn't bother with the long trip to somewhere "better", as i was quite happy with the degree of sun-munch-ed-ness i saw from Kunming. bit worried i've fried my retinas though.
when the light dimmed and the dogs started barking and the cicadas started chirping, i was happy enough.

i'm thinking that maybe the high buildings in Think UK mean you're used to perma-twilight? :P
