Nice. If anyone reading this is interested in running or getting in touch with other runners, feel free to add my WeChat: augustus1. At the very least, it would be nice to have a group for local runners to share info about trails, races, etc. Maybe we could do group runs again in the future.
Landskroenerdj1, where do you you like to run?
I bought another pair of Brooks Ghost 10s at 领跑吧, next to 翠湖. Their new location is right next to 素吉祥. They've got tons of running merch, though it's a tad pricey.
Hi Polarbear17! I don't do a Dianchi run, but Sunday morning is usually my long run. Where do you usually run?
I've heard good things about the language program at 师范大学. I'm finishing up a two-year language study at 云南大学, and while some teachers/classes have been great, it's also not without it's share of lazy teachers/uninspired teaching methodology, though every fall it organizes a HSK培训班 students can attend for free.
No results found.
Tacos are superb! Really nice atmosphere and super friendly staff.
I became a vegetarian last year, and Sal's has been great for me. Some of my favorite dishes are the Mediterranean quesadilla, the falafel plate, huevos rancheros, the muesli bowl, and the avocado and beet sandwich. They're all killer.
In my experience, most of the staff are familiar with words on the menu, but if you get off it for special requests, it can be a bit trickier. There's usually at least one or two staff members on each shift who can handle more complicated English stuff.
In general, the wait staff has always been professional and friendly, even when busy.
Had a nice Americano the other day for only 13 RMB. Food smelled good, too. A pledge to only use fresh, organic, locally sourced goods dominates their main indoor wall. I wasn't a huge fan of the decor, but to each his or her own.
Excellent pastries and nice ambiance!
I had the Norwegian Breakfast, it was delicious! The view of the street below was quite nice, too. One of the few places in the city where you can find quinoa on the menu.
The historical evolution of Yunnan's Zhongdian, aka Shangri-la
Posted by^was just going to comment on the geographical mixup, but you beat me to it! Just to add, 香格里拉 is a county-level city and the seat of Diqing Prefecture's local government.
University life in the not-so-ghost town of Chenggong
Posted byFor me, as someone who lives right by Green Lake, I always love heading out to Chenggong to visit my thesis adviser. There are tons of sprawling parks, it's easy to get out to the countryside, the air quality is higher, etc. I'd be very happy living out there. The main thing is that I don't particularly care for the night life scene, so living near the city center doesn't offer a whole lot of advantages.
