Also, you can buy fresh soy milk every morning from many of the breakfast street vendors. Especially those who sell you tiao, the long fried bread sticks. Some sell it sealed in the big drink cups.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Where to buy Christmas lights or rope lights in Kunming?

Rope lights to be found in the lighting areas of the major decoration markets, and in B&Q. Decoration markets at DaShangHui (off Guangfulu), at YunFang (Area adjacent/behind Carrefour on SouthRing Road (Huanchengnanlu) and Haigeng Lu), and there are several others in the city. All of these markets will have several traders who sell rope lights.

Xmas lights and all the Xmas paraphernalia will magically appear in at all the big supermarkets and Metro will have a grand selection a little later in the year.

Basically the soy milk cookers are a blender in a tall boiling vessel. The biggest brand is Joyoung. You do get what you pay for, the more expesive ones are faster, and also much easier to clean (ours only needs to be rinsed thoroughly, but do it while it is hot before the stuff dries on).

You can put in the beans and water (we use drinking water not tap), put it on the dry bean setting and it takes 20mins. Or you can soak beans overnight. The only bugbear is that you need to strain the cooked liquid to take out the remaining solids. You need to push it through the strainer really.

Advantages, fresh and you can also mix beans. My wife like a 60/40 soybean/peanut mix.

Tip, most people throw away the dou zha. It makes a really tasty dip or side dish.

INGREDIENTS
Dou zha
Garlic
Sesame oil
Salt
Green onion (optional)

Take some garlic, and fry in a little sesame oil until soft. Add the dou zha and heat through, you can also add a little water to thin it if desired. Add finely chopped green onion, and salt to taste.

@Yankee
The 'buffy' dog you describe sound like a rottweiler. The problem with rotties is that there are two main bloodlines. In UK they have been bred as house dogs, and some are the biggest softest pussies you could meet. However, in Germany they have been bred as working (guard) dogs and have the temperament to match, and are not suitable as pets. I am not sure which bloodline is in China, hopefully the soft one.

The most common cause of dogfights is when one dog is on the leash, and the others are not. The dog on the leash cannot move freely and if it feels vulnerable it will become defensive (aggressive) and then the fight starts. If the same dog were off the leash it would be happily running around sniffing butts with the other dogs. Sadly it is the dog with the responsible owner that is percieved as the problem.

BUT thank God, chinese TV is now showing the Dog Whisperer www.cesarsway.com/channel/dog-whisperer-tv

Ah! but what do they mean by "non-residents of Yunnan"? This sounds like Chinese nationals not resident in Yunnan. Which would allow non-locals to cross these borders.

This would not include foreigners.
As for the number, 13 re-open, when some were not closed. That is typical of the way things often get reported in some parts of the world. Like the list of 700 universities was published and China had x number in the 'TOP 700 world ranked universities'.

Yes, I think Alex has a point. In Hangzhou (and other cities I have visited) it is organised. The vendors have a table and the tables are in clearly defined rows (some streets 4 rows, wider parts 6 rows). The pedestrians can navigate through the night markets.
The big advantage of tables is that you don't get the sprawl across the pavement, and there are clear walkthroughs. The other thing is that there are no people selling out of the trunk of the car, this alone takes up a lot of room.
Outside Sal's a few months back there was a problem, because there was no way to get onto the sidewalk to park a bike. Putting aside the rights and wrongs of who did what, it was the over abundance of street vendors that was the root cause.

This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
