Forums > Living in Kunming > Americans who move to China, only to eat nothing but McDonald's.

I don't agree that all foreigners eat at McDonald's and I wonder who came up with that idea. I have been in China for almost 5 years and have eaten at McDonald's maybe 10 times. I usually go to the market and cook at home where I have control over the oil and salt that goes into the food. I just got back from USA and the food there is very tasty and varied and you can find food from all over the world but is fattening and bad for your health if you don't eat like the Chinese who eat a lot of vegetables. I have been sicker here from the food than any other city in China. Yesterday I paid for some meat dish and I could smell how bad it was and it was 25 yuan. I just left it-if I had been in USA I would have called the waiter who would have whisked it off the table apologizing all the time and either given me my money back or brought something else-gee I miss that!

Forums > Food & Drink > soy sauce and other condiments without msg

I am going to be a lab rat when I go home to Georgia this summer. I am not eating fast foods and only eating home cooked meals. If I feel the difference then I will let you know. I think the msg has screwed up my thyroid glands and is wreaking havoc with my system. People say that Western food is bad for you but I don't think that the food I cook at home is bad and I will lay odds that it is healthier than Chinese food. Throwing down bowlfuls of rice is just empty calories and has no nutritional value. I think that there is a logical fallacy going on here called dicto simplicitor An argument in which a general rule is treated as universally true regardless of the circumstances: a sweeping generalization. Just because everyone in China believes that msg is good for you, regardless of the facts is illogical. Unfortunately, this is all too often the case in America also.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Traveled to Laos

On the advice of the articles on wonderful Laos-I wasted my vacation by going there-expensive! I could have slept on the beach in Thailand or Cambodia. Spent 10 days and turned around to go back to Kunming-nothing to do, bad food, unfriendly people, Vang Vieng has been bulldozed. Really the worst trip ever and I have traveled a lot. It is irresponsible for you travel writers to put out trash for us to follow. Please refund all the money I spent.

I have a lung condition so I check the real pollution index every day. I have been able to go out two days in the last month-it wasn't like this last y ear. I am getting out of here asap. Most expats do not have lung conditions so don't think it is affecting them-bah ha ha -it is going to get you too. I can feel it in my lungs and gauge the index- I am usually right on target. Spring City has become a death trap-

It is dangerous to ride the streets on a bike in this city because the cars are all parked in the bike lane. I would think this is a major problem. It is hard to try and get into the car lane with no mirrors and I have seen people get hit. Spitting on the sidewalk brings germs into the home we walk around all day with someone's illness then bring it into the house. I take off my shoes at the door but the germs are in anyway. Who cares about people cooking on the streets-this is China. But the people who ride the wrong way in bike lanes are dangerous. It seems to me that safety should be the main consideration.
