The Box is a hang-out for long-term expats, who can probably answer other questions about the region. Good italian food/drink, too.
Yunjoy Coffee has recently re-opened in Wenhua Xiang, in the ground floor of the Korean restaurant opposite the Mei Er jewelry store. It's a good place to chat over good, inexpensive coffee.
Forums > Food & Drink > Popcorn in Kunming
This sort of thing is pretty common in N. China, esp. in the winter time. I haven't seen it in Kunming. Go to the Harbin Ice Festival :-) and you'll probably see it.
Forums > Living in Kunming > FAKE APPLE STORE-YAHOO NEWS
Apple should 1) open some real stores and 2) sell their products at a price reasonable for China. Oxford University Press and Penguin Books do so.

"This might sound bizarre, but I have already accepted the fact that my life expectancy here in China is lower."
On the other hand, I seriously doubt one of my students will bring a gun to class and shoot everyone!

The beer is good. The food, OK, if you're dying for something Western. Food service is better in the daytime, mamahuhu in the night time.
I haven't stayed in their guesthouse, but I'll guess it's noisy in the night times.

Prague Café (Beichen)
Prague Cafe in Bei Chen Walking Street is Prague III.
There are other branches in Wen Lin Jie and in Lijiang.
I've been a long time customer of the Wen Lin branch.
Both Kunming branches are pleasant places to meet and chat with friends.
The food may not be the cheapest, but the cheapest would be from the street vendors.
I meet and drink coffee with friends at the Wen Lin PC several times weekly, especially since the Yun Joy Cafe is no more.

Banna Café
I've been drinking Beer Lao and coffee here, off and on for some years.
It's always a pleasant place to relax. The food is good as well. Close to cheap hotels and bike rental on Manting Lu, too.
Wenhua Xiang filling up with financially overextended youth
Posted by"No one wants them there but you." And all the vendors and shoppers. And me. Lots of people, in other words. If they annoy the annoying car drivers, so much the better. Maybe they'll learn to stick to the big streets.
Book Review: Joseph F. Rock and His Shangri-La
Posted byGoullart mentions Rock a couple times in _Forgotten Kingdom_ a couple times. He always refers to him formally as "Dr Joseph Rock."
Goullart's books like _Land of the Lamas_ or _Forgotten Kingdom_ are quite interesting in their own right. Goullart also deserves a bio, but I suspect it'd be harder to research.
