Forums > Living in Kunming > wanna buy, not be your new friend

You want to sell some used goods, bargaining simply comes with the territory.....anywhere. If the offered price is too low for you simply refuse the offer. What's the big deal??

But I agree that if no price AND pic is posted, I won't give the item a second thought.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Life in Kunming

As I read here, the one common theme is finding a good place to eat. There are good places to eat Chinese food here. Only a FEW places, but they are here. And they come with a price. Having little issue with budget, I do enjoy an outing with friends for a good meal. Having said that, in the normal routine of things, I eat at home. Make my own bread, cook my western food, eat my delicious Krusteaz pancakes, etc, etc. Why are so many here obsessed with having a find a restaurant to go eat and knowing it will probably suck anyway? Cook your own freaking meals for Christs sake! Let's see, last night I cooked a southern brisket roast (cut with a fork), potatoes, carrots and gravey. Made fresh garlic toast and had a cold german beer.

I also buy food on Taobao, but avoid it 70% of the time since most of it is old and almost at the expire date. Instead I go to HK, BKK, or USA and fill up a few bags of groceries to bring back.
As far as living here, it's not good or bad either way. Livable with good weather. I do know is it is far better than the BS, taxes, depressing Americans, white bi*&$es, etc that infest the US. Only for the food has me make a trip there from time to time.

All in all, Kunming is a good home base to travel about, and people generally stay out of your business. Just a simple uncomplicated place to live and chill. Enough for me.

I've been here 8 years. I would say that Kunming would only be an average pick for a location to live in China. Yunnan is a great province for enjoying "natural China", so by default that means living in Kunming.

Sadly, the expansion and changes here have been mostly negative. Unplanned construction, pollution, traffic, local corruption continues unchecked in Kunming. This really knocks down Kunming as a preferred destination for anyone. This poll sounds like just another sham to attract tourists to this area.

My optimistic belief is that in 7-10 years Kunming will settle down and tweak itself into a front runner city for living. It has a way to go at it's present state. I'll be patient and continue to live here and wait and see. To that end, I'm moving out to Chonggong where I bought property. Living IN the city is not that great. I often travel out of here, and so Kunming is an ideal base for that. If I had to stay here (and work) on a daily basis, that would be a very hard pill to swallow.

Now with the new petrochemical plant firing up.........that may well squash any chance of "Kunming" and "natural beauty" being used in the same sentence.

In the meantime I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

Crap, evil, liars, unprofessional, expensive, no customer service comes to mind when I think of B&Q.

I have to agree with splitopen. This place is not worth the long drive to get there whatsoever. Crazy expensive and the play is boring. It looks thrown together and poorly built. The employees are rude. They obviously don't like their jobs. For the prices they charge, it is a rip off. I give it a few months before Hello! Haigeng Minigolf Park is just a memory.

Dr Doom, This is not the US so, yes, 40 kuai IS too much! Next time your are there, count how many Chinese customers they have. This business seems to promote an elitist attitude which I do not care for. A foreign owned business setting pricing to exclude locals is not a place I would support.

BTW, it was open in Nov, and it sounds like your are the one who owns this place......pretty lame.

The food is expensive with small portions. Quality is poor and the service is not so good. I think the servers are not happy working there which shows in their attitude. I would not recommend this place at all.
