Right,.....International Teaching :-) :-) Ive missed that one:)

Lu: I can talk only from my personal experience. KM obviously cant provide such a varieties of night life, entertaiment, high tech for IT biz or public transport efficiency, but local people ( foreigners as well ) are much friendly then SZ. Air polution is not as bad as in other cities ( which u probably already researched ) .In other hand if I imagine travel to SH or other far city every weekend ( I assume you would be working during the week ), it sounds hassle to me already. Not sure if you would nejoy the real beauty of Yunnan sitting in taxi in busy traffic nervious to miss your flight ( depends what time u travel of course ). There are pleaces around u can go to in afternoons, but it all depends how much time and energy u will have after your day work. But as somebody said here already, there are not many "IT brains" around here, so if u have something cool to bring, u might have better chance then in SZ ( really way too many foreigners there already ) . Hopes this helps a bit to make up your mind. I know it sounds too general, but if u have particular question I can answer, I will be happy to do so.

Alex: I guess I went to wrong place . You probably mean 黄土坡 near 二环四路 is that right? I didnt check that one then yet. Thanks.

So as far as I read, there is no such a thing like market with bikes, e-bikes etc. Place with 2nd hand any type or "hardware", right? They guy near huangtupo is still on holy. sor another 2 weeks, as I was told, so I wonder if there is any other option ( except xiongdi bro.) ? Is ther only 2 options in whole KM or am I reading it wrong?

Any russian community in KM?
