Great to have so much interest. The next film being shown is on Tuesday
February 7 at 7pm (should be room B-5).
It will be "Unknown Pleasures" by Jia Zhangke preceded by an informative introduction and followed by a short discussion for those with the time and interest (in Chinese and English).
The event should b on the GoKunming Calendar shortly. We'll take email addresses at the film showing and make up a mailing list.

I was under the impression that foreigners need to have a "relevant degree" to qualify for a teacher's working visa? JJMallox says the school can arrange a visa, but the job advert doesn't mention any qualification requirements? Odd.

I'm now told the signposts I referred to before might be fake ones put up by real estate companies in the area to encourage people to buy flats nearby. Whatever next?

Price is now 100RMB for adults, 70RMB for children.
Some of the animal areas are as far as 10+km from the entrance - you can buy a hop on/off bus ticket for 60RMB per person, but there are also clearly marked walkways for those who are full of energy.

Everything inside is pretty expensive - consider bringing a picnic.

Many of the animals are in large outdoor enclosures. Some are caged. The park calls itself a safari, but this is not a "drive your car amongst the animals" thing. It's more like a decent western zoo.
There are places to handle/be photographed with animals, for a fee. Also, some kids amusements.
The animal show is free, but a waste of time (unless you love watching goats, sheep, pigs, horses etc!!).
Good labelling i English thorughout.

Still worth a visit, especially for the arhat statues. The 11am vegetarian lunch is basic, but still only 10RMB. Free entry.

Prague cafe used to be my favourite cafe in Wenlin area but I went for lunch there today after a few months away and it's really gone downhill (new owners?). The menu was a photocopy, the food was lacklustre and much more expensive than before, the decor was dull and the service so-so. I won't be back there anytime soon.

It's open! And it's free. And its terrific for kids.

The museum is surprisingly interactive (although only 2/3 of the attractions are working) and modern (VR, simulators, touchscreens, etc). Sadly, no English on any of the displays but the fun is in trying to work out how the exhibits work and what they are supposed to be showing. Well worth a visit.
