Thanks for the personal attack, quite a vicious one too. Would you be accusing me of dementia or schizophrenia or maybe a speech disorder? Also, I don't like Woody Allen movies, but if he made one about life in China, I would watch it.
so to quote you:
@AlexKMG, It sounds like you live in a secretly-filmed Woody Allen movie. Seriously, if it is that difficult to order baozi, then maybe there are other (psychological) issues involved.

Forums > Food & Drink > Beer in Kunming There is a Tsingdao van selling fresh draft Tsingdao. It's parked on the BBQ street south of the Carrefour off huancheng rd in the south.
They have 4 flavors. Original, dark, blackcurrant, pineapple. They do not have the unfiltered Tsingdao. I had the original; its better than the swill in the bottles but still not as good as draft in Qingdao. However, for 10rmb a mug, its alright. They are open evening to late night.
