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?
No results found.
does anyone know if Sandra's brunch is happening this sunday June 2nd?

Event: Living Threads — Celebrating Yunnan's Sani Culture
Posted byI'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)
Around Town: Exploring Kunming's outdoor pools
Posted byYes 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.
First-hand account: Setting up a guesthouse in Xishuangbanna
Posted byI 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.
Book Review: Among the Tribes in South-West China
Posted byI 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.
