Wicker Basket in the north has some decent burgers and if you add the salad bar you can pretty much stuff it with anything you want (bar cheese). I haven't tried hamburgers many other places around KM so maybe I shouldn't hand out advice, but if McD scores a 3/10 I'd put the Wicker Basket's bacon-cheese burger at a solid 8/10.
I've been looking for a place to live in Tengchong for some months now (Tengchongese wife). Does anyone have some advice on looking for something like that in the smaller cities/towns in Yunnan? I'll be going there to look at 3 places next week and those were all we could find online. Can you recommend some good sites? Know some people? It's quite far to go for only 3 viewings so if you can think of anything, please let me know.
".. and the only change we are going to have is that the teachers will become better, the quality of teaching will be higher, and the teaching conditions will be more perfect, as long as you enter KCEL, we are friends, your demand is our work."
Gag reflex triggered. I know it's probably a cultural thing, but in English this stuff sounds incredibly cheesy.
I know there is a handful of foreigners living in Baoshan, but no idea if they use GoKunming. Anyway here goes: Is there a Walmart in Baoshan now?
Just saw "Dont tell my not ho". Seen "Good at bed", "Made from the finest oak. Assemble with care", "Not to overdo, lifes happiness double" and "Very juicy" before. Probably lots more than made me giggle but I've forgotten them.
No results found.
The comment from Chris had deserved a wider audience. Beluga?
Went there yesterday and it totally made my week. Nice decor and friendly staff and a real salad bar. Sadly we both wanted mexican food so I can't really say much about their other courses. The food was great but just a tad spicier would have improved the dish. The best thing was that we almost had the place to ourselves and we could have a quiet conversation without shouting, spitting Chinese people in the background. I realised how much I had missed that since coming here.
We went to Chicago Coffee a couple of days ago and it was a nice experience. The place is cozy with soft comfy chairs (I realized how much I have missed one since coming here) and they have a nice little collection of English language books in the corner consisting mainly of classics and travel litterature. I was looking forward to trying their advertized tortilla bar but it wasn't up and running that evening.
Instead we went for 2 12 inch pizzas -roast chicken and pepperoni- but we quickly realized that 1 would have been enough. Those things are heavy. I am mainly into Italian style pizza but Chicago's double layered pizzas are well worth a try. Their coffee seems to be a bit on the expensive side but people say good things about it and they have got a nice selection. I wouldn't mind dropping by again some day,, hopefully when they've got the tortilla thing going. English speaking staff btw.
Detailed Kunming metro plans finally unveiled
Posted byIf I read this correctly it seems that the North is getting a pretty lousy deal. Would seem logical to extend the line by 3-4 stations. That said it looks as if they are doing the initial preparations for building tracks a lot further up North than the diagram suggests.
Yunnan air ticket prices climbing
Posted byLet's hope they get some competition soon. Especially since we foreigners often have to pay full price and it can't be right that you can fly to Beijing for half the price of what a ticket for the 40 minutes flight to Xishuangbanna is.

Yunnan drought update
Posted byCloud seeding is based on shaky science at best and claiming to have done it with (obvious) little result seems more like an attempt to get a couple of cheap points with the public. As to the ingenious Long-range-intelligent-fire-bla-bla-bla I am fairly certain that helicopters can do a much better, faster and safer job spreading fire repressing chemicals.
