Forums > Food & Drink > Bread in Kunming

Not to familiar with the Kunming bread situation anymore because I simply make my own bread, but as far as I know “good bread”, that is bread without a sweet flavour like all Chinese breads, is available at Igor’s bakery and it is sold as well at Salvadors/Mimosa.

The Wicker Basket shops as well sell a rather bland but not sweet loaf of bread.

A friend of mine gets quite good results himself with a bread making machine, like me, he buys his ingredients on line.

I don’t know about German bread but pumpernickel style bread is available online of the Jason brand which is not bad and at least not sweet.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Many Condo complexes (小区) are giving Covid testing

Well this might as well be the last post on this forum topic because there are no longer mass testings. All the testing sites I know have closed down.

I had my last test on Sunday thus three days ago and still not have received the result. Funny thing is that was the first test I actually had to pay for and my first individual test. As well the only one that might have been positive. I probably will never know.

Many people reporting flu like symptoms and some coming up with Covid positive test results from home rapid tests. Looks like Omicron is spreading freely through Kunming.

Anyway, the days of mass and combined testing are over.

And looking forward to the time when passinger trains will go to Vientiane as well. Much more interesting then touring "The Big Shopping Centre In the North" (=Lijiang).

Who ones has been to Panzhihua will understand that Sichuan will be happy to get rid of it. Compared to Panzhihua, Anning and Kaiyuan looks like eco resorts.
I am pretty sure that by the second of April the land will be returned to Sichuan ;-)

Problem with "Black Taxis" is that they all have fixed rides during rush hour. They have fixed agreement with people to pick them up at home bring them to their work and bring them back home again and that all during rush hours. So black taxis are not the solution to the problem.

With the limited amount of taxis in Kunming it is quite possible to make a living during non-rush-hour hours. I several times spend travel times exceeding at least twice the normal time during rush-hours. This means that more trips can be done during non-rush-hours thus the hourly income is higher (And the frustration lower) than during rush-hours. To remedy this a rush-hour surcharge could be introduced but then everybody would be complaining that things are to expensive.
