I notice the GoKunming Gallery had a close-up photo of brussel sprouts today. Are these available in Kunming? Could be useful to know with Christmas approaching. . .

I (and another foreign colleague at work) have been suffering badly from some sort of allergic reaction for the last few weeks. I wondered if anyone else has been having similar symptoms and/or knows why it might be.....

Details: I used to have an allergy to certain pollen in UK, but never had a problem in 10+ years living in China. However, I'm now getting itchy eyes, sneezing and sore throat. It's not a cold. It comes and goes in certain rooms, times etc. Haven't spotted a pattern yet. Anti-histamine (Clarityne) doesn't seem to stop it, as it used to with UK pollen. Anyone else having similar difficulties...?

As an e-bike user myself, the sooner the better for making helmets compulsory, but I see no sign of it being enforced as yet. Why not also fine those who use their phones while driving or who drive up the roads the wrong way or who don't indicate or......

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.
