Forums > Living in Kunming > Cost of living
I usually spend between 3000 and 4000 rmb a month, not including rent. I go out for drinks and dinner two/three times a week at least and cook at home quite a bit. 5000 is definitely enough and will be able to conver rent too if you're happy to share.
Forums > Food & Drink > Local basil
Usually people call it 罗勒 (if they know what it is, which doesn't happen very often). I have only seen fresh basil for sale at Metro, never in wet markets or other supermarkets. I have heard you can by the seeds on Taobao if you want to grow your own.

Kunming Huayang Academy for Language and Culture
Have been studying at Huayang for a few months now. It's a great school: the staff has always been very helpful and kind, and has assisted me changing my visa and getting a new one. The building is brand new, which means everything is clean and bright - toilets included! (and well, studying in a nice environment helps a lot!). My teacher (Joy) is enthusiastic and her classes are always very interesting: apart from the book, she is designing our lessons according to the topics we are interested in (Chinese culture, philosophy, ...). This is what makes the difference to me from the other language schools in Kunming, it's not just "boya chinese", chengyu and "newspaper reading". I would definitely recommend studying here.
