Well, hi there, I am an American living in Kunming now and I have a question that I can't find an answer for.

I know that the tap water is not drinkable but I can not find good information on the nature of the problem. The reason I need to know is that I have heard various rumors about it and it affects the way I do things.

If it is really a big problem with heavy metals, then boiling water will not fix that. If it is bacteria then boiling is good enough. If it is pollutants, I doubt that boiling is enough?

I need to know because I don't know if it's safe to wash my dishes in hot tap water or not and I don't know if it is possible to clean vegetables like lettuce (which are mostly water) enough to be safe to eat.

I've googled a lot to get this answer but can't find it. Does anyone know more about this topic?

I'm not in Kunming (or in China) anymore but I love the embroidery art of Yunnan and I wonder if there is any way I could see this film? I would be happy to pay to watch it online, if that is an option. I own several embroidery paintings...the best one is from an "art factory" near Wenshan (so probably not Yi)

Yes thanks a bunch for the article. Too funny since I was just trying to figure out where I'd have to fly to spend a few days tanning and lolling by some water. This is a much cheaper idea and that first pool looks great for sure.

I suppose it will be hard to get a response to this thread also but, like AlexKMG, I'd love to know if this hotel did open. I would like to go there soon but can't find it in any search engines. Help???? I'm guessing it didn't work out but hoping that it did.

I read this book a year ago and was appalled initially to see that it was in fact written by a missionary. (I would never intentionally give a penny to a missionary.) Having said that, I read the first half of the book since he did try to separate the anthropology from the missionary BS. And there were indeed a few interesting observations about the ethnic groups and he had clearly bothered to learn a lot about the languages.

Still, even the first part can't help adding in religious judgments and hypocritical nonsense. People are viewed from the perspective of their willingness to accept a load of you-know-what without becoming physically ill.

I passed my book along to a Christian and still feel guilty for having bought it without paying enough attention to the source/author.
