I'm with Voltaire on this one. I love living here for the obvious reasons (generally great weather, access to a ridiculous array of travel options), but I also enjoy Yunnan for the lack of pretentiousness in both the local and foreign communities.

The local food here is better and more varied than anywhere else (you just have to look).

Yes the traffic is often enraging and Kunming needs to work on preserving what is left of its air quality, but in general, for those choosing to live in a major city in China, this place beats the rest on character and charm alone. For me at least.

We have a winner! Scott Shaffer was the first person to tell us the song was about Pannonica de Koenigswarter, a longtime friend of Monk's and a patron of many New York City jazz musicians. Congratulations Scott.

@ Mandeep: Mr Ouyang has been gracious and diligent as a community organizer helping these dogs. He left a message above. You can contact him through GoKunming's messaging function and he can tell you how to make a donation.

@ blobbles: The economy experienced growth of 10.8 percent when compared to the same time last year. The next three quarters could have growth or contraction so an overall yearly forecast of 40 percent growth is neither implied nor realistic. You are right, no economy expands that fast.

Passable no-frills Dongbei food including lots of dumplings, tofu, disanxian and other standards. Fair prices too.

A pleasant surprise hiding inconspicuously inside the Second Ring Road. Go for the temple, stay for the lovely forested park and its ample solitude.

Had the buffet here recently. A bit expensive but discounts are available for groups. Seafood, including crab, lobster and sushi were all fantastic. European and Chinese dishes were great as well. Beer was included with dinner. Overall, excellent service and food.

Excellent dumplings for omnivores, vegetarians and carnivores. This is a hole in the wall joint with no frills, but the owners are friendly and the dumplings are just right. Five stars if they get higher quality vinegar.
