Well, that's enough of a reason for me slabo. I think our biggest problem will be a reliable Internet connection to stream it. The two places that I could imagine are Chapter One or the 1896 sports bar up north but not sure they would be willing on a Saturday night.

Forums > Living in Kunming > FILMING DOCUMENTARY - Bring Me Hope - 带给我希望

Hi GoKunming Community!

I am currently producing a feature-length documentary in and around Kunming called 带给我希望 (Bring Me Hope). It follows two Chinese university students as they search for poor and needy kids. The goal of the documentary is to inspire other university students throughout China to help underprivileged children.

Here is where you can help. We have been filming for ten days and have captured some amazing stories but would like to do more. Do you know of any villages or stories within one hours drive of Kunming that might have kids in need. Any info would be appreciated (village names, google map links, phone numbers).

You can reply here in the forum or email me with any info you might have: roger@greenleemedia.com

You can check out my daily updates about the documentary here: blog.greenleemedia.com

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

I was there for the soft opening and completely agree with Colin that it's one of the best pours of Guinness I've had in Asia.

Went again last night for a friends' birthday and tried the fish and chips. 50RMB for the fish and chips and a pint of Carlsberg is absolutely one of the best deals in town.

The fish and chips were a bit lean on the fish and heavy on the batter but the flavor was completely there. The tartar sauce was perfect.

We were a large group so the fish and chips came a bit slow but I'm sure they'll figure that out soon.

Someone at our table ordered the burger which looked amazing with thick bacon and a healthy amount of cheese. I'll definitely be going back soon for that!

Tim is obviously passionate about the place which shows in the overall quality and atmosphere of O'Reilly's.

Lastly, we were treated to some local raspberry framboise liqueur and some birthday gin and tonics making a perfect evening even better.

Sláinte!

Sam_KM, I haven't met you yet but you are quickly becoming my new hero. A place to get Trappist beer in Kunming, you've got to be kidding me? Incredible!

THANK YOU!

For those beer lovers who haven't had an authentic Trappist, I suggest you start with a Trappistes Rochefort 6 (quite a bargain at 33 kuai). These are some of the highest rated beers in the world and I am still in shock that I can get one (in an authentic trappist glass) in Kunming :)

Anyone who's eaten pizza here knows that, relatively speaking, it's the best pizza in town. Delivery is prompt, eating there gets you nice buttered french bread with your order while you wait. I have found the staff eager to understand and helpful.

Note to Bernie: You mess up the whole review system when you give a place 0 because you like one of their competitors better.

One of the hidden gems in Kunming because it off the beaten path of the culture alley and Wenlin Jie, away from the hustle and bustle of the university area. It's a newly renovated art gallery and cafe. I have eaten here many times and I have never been disappointed. The art is modern and often rotated, the atmosphere is very chic modern and the Swedish meatballs rock. 4 for the food. 5 1/2 for atmosphere. Check the calendar, they have some of the best live music in Kunming too.
