You will find a distinct lack of all of the above. Get a really big refrigerator as restaurants aren't plenty either.

There is a spa next to the Howard Johnson. That was the only thing I thought useful out there.

If you teach at the uni, maybe you can use the student's gym facilities.

Dry Ice - never seen it used or for sale in Kunming. Even regular ice is pretty hard to come by.

I have seen plastic coolers for sale in the camping or auto sections of Carrefour or Walmart. The coolers were a bit pricey. Regular plastic food containers of all shapes and sizes sold there too.

@HFCAMPO

Sorry to say, but you are the person who began and falls into the "confuse you even more regarding your question"

I posted two links that addressed Natsymir's question directly and didn't rail against or evangelize vaccines. Your reply decidedly turned this into a pro/anti vaccine thread. I'd prefer not to have this spiral into a bloated thread similar to the Laowai thing, so I think comments from now on should address the OP's question.

HFCAMPO, appreciate your other insightful posts related to travel. We disagree on vaccines, but adults can agree to disagree.

@ludwig

"Beware of the kidnappers, though" !?!? That got my attention!

Please elaborate as I plan on biking down to the lake sometime during the summer.

Any hotel in Kunming probably can, but as you venture out to the smaller cities of China, you will find that many hotels are not setup to register foreign guests. When you get very rural, it's actually easier to find lodging as many places then don't bother with registration. The rule is still on the books, but most big city hotels can comply now and most small village ones don't bother. It's 3rd tier non-tourist towns where you tend to encounter this issue.

Wow, only 13 businesses lost and zero death toll. That's the best bad news possible out of a fire in old town. It could of easily been 130 businesses and worst. The might of the Chinese populace. 1000 for the bucket brigade.

Most airports in China have the last shuttle bus depart when the last flight arrives. Whether they do this as a courtesy or it's a rule of law, I don't know. But it's very comforting.

The 28rmb salad bar buffet is the best meal to be had in Kunming for that price. Killer onion rings as part of that salad bar! Starts at 5pm Mon-Sat. They don't restock a dish if it runs out, but it's rarely an issue because there are so many others and no dish runs out unless you show up past 7'ish on a fri or sat.

Their steaks are Chinese steaks, and not a Western level of cut of meat, but the Korean dishes are excellent.

The only reason it's 4 and not 5 stars, is I live far away, and maybe the quality of the steak. Of course it was only 50rmb for a steak, potatoes, and a salad bar buffet included.

Oh yes, the staff are really nice, but it's not fine dining, so they don't rush to take your order or bring out water. The place is more relaxed, so give'em a hollar or just grab a menu and some silverware yourself.
