Why won't there be any students or teachers left near Green Lake? As far as I know they don't plan to close the old campuses. Last I checked they were still a lot of grad students down there.

Besides most of these new apartments are empty because a lot of people bought them only for investment.

It also makes no sense to open a restaurant or bar unless you "own" it and aren't renting since as soon as people start moving there the owners will just increase the rent... No point in buying now since the bubble hasn't burst yet.

Anyone know of a place that has AP classes in Kunming? I know KIA offers them, but they require students to have a foreign passport to attend. Not to mention tuition there is a bit high for most families...

Don't bother buying one. Just make sure the Chinese version is legit. Download the release candidate of Windows 8 from Microsoft and dual boot. Then when Windows 8 is released upgrade the Chinese Windows 7 to Windows 8, change to English and enjoy.

Oh, and I'd recommend just doing a fresh install(with format) over the Chinese version if Windows 8 upgrade allows that. That way you get rid of all the crap-ware that comes with the computer.

Huh? How is Yunnan distinctive from rural areas in any other country with a centrally controlled economic system(which is pretty much any "modern and developed" country today)? How is The Brother's Jiang expanding everywhere in Yunnan different from Starbucks trying to expand in Yunnan?

Do you think Iowa has lost its distinctness because of all the Mexican and Chinese restaurants that have opened up? Oh wait, even though they almost all serve the same food, and their suppliers are almost all the same... it's so much better because they all have a different name... cripes, it's just marketing.

You can go to any city in Yunnan and you will see the same products being sold in all of them. What does it matter if the name of the store is in Chinese or in English? Does this somehow prevent you from speaking to the people who work there? Does it stop you from taking your time? It's just a marketing symbol, get over it.

Cheese tasted great. Much better than other pizza joints.

Excellent salad bar. Hamburgers are usually ok. The fancier dishes were a little lacking.

Giving it a 4 stars for the salad bar. If you were going there for "fine dining" then probably best to go somewhere else.

The store also has some nice imported food(though obviously Metro is cheaper for some things). The freshly baked goods are nice too.

Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.

Not bad. Pretty much what you would expect, but expensive for China.

Expensive, but decent bread. Other places are better, but not bad if you're in a hurry.
