Forums > Food & Drink > suggestion on redwine tigertiger, don't bother answering. mmkunmingteacher's rose colored glasses are so ingrained, that he thinks he is eating lamb when he gets Kunming street meat. Even if he bothered to try a small shop wine and finds out it tastes like fortified grape juice, he'll probably go "awesome, China has great cheap red wine." Seriously, anyone who though Kunming street meat is lamb or a red wine from a small dumpy grocery shop in China is not going to be fortified grape juice probably has no tastebuds or taste.
Forums > Study > Yunnan DaXue knifing? Sadly thanks to all the knifing attacks that makes the headlines now, we get copy cats. Couple of years ago, it was rampages during school pickup times. Now we have traffic jams and cops at every school during pickups.
Forums > Food & Drink > Ducks appearing around town. Tried the 1st location mmkunmingteacher mentioned a while back. Overated. Just oily pressure fried duck. But the hype is there; long ass line and sells out by 5pm. No sauce or rice wraps came with it either, not that it would of made it taste better. But the smell is very good.

Yeah I agree, Western food availability is quite good given Kunming is a tier 2 city. It honestly adds to the livability of this city. Like most of the expats, I probably eat it only a couple of times a month, but knowing the options are there is nice. As they say, variety is the spice of life.

You forgot about your prized Kunming lamb skewers.
Jinsha dam controversy heats up
发布者Wow. There were plans to ruin Tiger Leaping Gorge. That would be like building a golf course on Shilin. Oh wait, that happened.
The drought: Good and bad news
发布者@Spartans
I made one comment about leaky pipes. It's pretty hard to argue against fixing leaky pipes. If you fix enough leaky pipes to compensate for meat consumption, I'll regard your comments in higher esteem.

Sleeping at the airport maybe prohibited for security reasons. The light rail starts too late for an 8am flight. There are no hotels inside or any where nearby the airport. This leaves you with a choice of taxi, shuttle bus, or car service.

发布者Great timely report. No hotels up and running by airport, but that's Kunming for you. On the plus side, the metro is working. Looking forward to using the international terminal, as the old airport international terminal was tiny and useless service wise.
