Yes an open-air truck company is something that I DON'T want. I am looking for a professional moving company to pack up into boxes and move an entire apartment of furniture and belongings locally.
Do you have any knowledge of a responsible, reliable packing and moving company for a local move in Kunming? Not one of those guys with an open-air truck please! Thanks in advance for all your help.
I would be very interested in joining a writers group but not so much in poetry. Any plans or a schedule?
I need some packing supplies to send out books by courier. Anyone have a suggestion where to buy padded envelopes, bubble wrap, small shipping envelopes and other shipping supplies? LuoSiWan maybe? What floor? Help!
I haven't been grossly cheated and I take taxis a fair bit. Ill look for the secret button. The taxi business in China is operated by a sort of mafia.
No results found.
Yes, it's a hassle for me to go a long way, but the hassle is worth it. The range of foreign products far surpasses any other supermarket/big box store/or whatever you want to call them. And in comparision to the first time I shopped there 2 years ago, I feel the whole store has improved.
If you compare the variety and the store brand products to the drivvel at the other big supermarkets, there is absolutely no comparison.
My list of real foreign quality products is endless and includes:
- beautiful fresh salmon
- tacos
- lovely baked goods
- fine quality white sugar
- flour - all purpose and for bread
- spices
- a huge variety of spices
- olives
- all the pasta making seasonings and sauces you could want
- frozen puff pastry
- a fantastic selection of dairy products inc. Cream Cheese, Mozzarella, Cottage Cheese, Cheddars, Brie and Camembert, whipping cream - all priced fairly and not overpriced.
- popping corn without the bugs
- the Horeca brand of everything is superb, including olive oil, dish soap, at competitive prices
- etc, etc, etc
Face it, we are in no man's land here in KM so a little bit of inconvenience for all these great products is a god-send.
Great Bacon Cheeseburger and great Fish and Chips!
The crumb cheesecake is really delicious!
Good tour company, lovely rates. I''m going to give it a try.

A glimpse into the life of a Kunming fruit seller
Posted byThanks again for the wonderful comments. Keep them coming! I love to hear your opinions...especially that you like to learn about the lives of our locals here in KMG. It's true that there are other reasons for this woman to chose this business, and as foreigners we look at the bigger picture of things do not take everything at face value!

Education is required here. There are many things they can do to clean the public toilets up and keep them clean. Top of the list is that workers must be trained to:
1) stop using toilet water to clean the floors
2) use disinfectant solutions to clean
3) install washroom basins for the sole purpose of washing out mops and pails, and storing cleaning solutions
4) stop using the Western toilet stalls for storage of mops and the Western toilets to clean the mops, and keep them fully operational for seniors and handicapped person or others who aren't able to squat
