brilliant article, can't wait to go back. Kundu here I come, or maybe the Camel bar will do the trick:)

Budget airlines to HK is good news. I wonder if the bigger airlines caused problems for Oasis to fly over russian airspace? A Conspiracy?

Sorry the connection has been a bit slow these days, so i just saw your comment. I went to their show and it was nice. The works displayed were mainly graphic ones with richful colours. There were also cards of cute logos of each artist's work. They also have some comic pictures but somehow did not show. I would like to talk to them if possible. For more information, you can also check their site www.mangoart.com.cn/

cool show, nice little venue too. could have used some kind of light show or video effects. lasers yo!

lots of people showed up both nights, which indicates demand for good live music, this town needs more!

Formidable chicken wings! i'm sold.

any readers doing triathlon training in KM? must be a pretty good place to stay fit and healthy...

Here's the hospital website: www.intrh.com/

Hello all!

I am exploring the possibility of doing organic farming in Guizhou.

I need HaoBao's experience and PEAC's expertise. Your suggestions are gold.

I am also open for partnerships.

Please send me your phone numbers and addresses so I can contact you. You can send it to the following email address hectorsuano@gmail.com

I am one with you in promoting organic agriculture.

Please tell me the luxury hotel plan in Zhongdian does not involve the Songzalin Temple(pictured)? If so, that would truly be a sacrilege. Regardless, I can't imagine many people making the strenuous trip to Shangri-La to visit an over-priced hotel that features caramel lattes.

I found the Book/music store to have a nice calming atmosphere and was further impressed at the wide variety of music they carried. I'm a huge fan of Underground/Indi lable music and I found this article to be very informative. Xiao Lu asked interesting and insightful questions, drawing out great responces from Ma Li. Nice Work

this cafe rocks! im here almost every day. not like the dark and dingy cafes around kunming. wide open, spacious and bright. great for work and play! come on over!

I met someone who has just moved to Kunming to work at this hospital. Apparently one must become a "member" to access its services... I'm sure if the membership is comparable to the price of a flight to Bangkok, that would make it worthwhile... supposed to open end of January '07.

Together with our UK and local partners and are setting up a new Music TV channel dedicated to Asian Indie Music. It will also feature content from the US indie scene as our partners are the exclusive resellers of Hacov TV ( www.havoctv.com ) for this region and the UK. Havoc tv is a music tv channel dedicated to US indie (live on US cable Comcast) and has now penetrated the UK market via the Vodafone 3G network. In a nutshell, what we are doing is a "Havoc TV Asia" (ie. Mtv Asia) and will start promoting Asian Indie in the US, UK and Canada via the 3G network.

If you are interested to have your music video on this channel, please do not hesitate to contact me at gen@kampany.com.
