@debaser done ;-)

When I rented a new place I made sure it had a good kitchen. Got a huge fridge with freezer, gas stove, an oven, a crock pot, and lots of healthy staples on taobao. I've added a lot of home fermented stuff to my diet (kefir, pickles) and it's made big difference in how I feel.

I've been traveling and living China for three years now, and despite generally eating well and exercising my health has suffered.

Parasites, heavy antibiotics courses, visa stress, lowered immune system, some nasty viruses and now an autoimmune disease (possibly as a result of all before mentioned). Age might have something to do with it as well ;-)

I'm cooking more at home now to make sure I eat healthily, go for regular check-ups and ask my GP back home for second opinions based on test results if I don't trust the advice here.

Overall I'm happy to live in Kunming with relatively clean air, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, general laid-back vibe and proximity to the countryside for quick get-aways.

Hope you feel better soon!

Hi Mads, please have a look here:

You can find available apartments or make a post with what you are looking for.

Another option is to go to one of the many real estate agents in the neighbourhoods where you want to live and they will show you available apartments.

Generally it's not hard to find an affordable place to live in Kunming.

Good luck!

Cycling to Fumin via Bamboo Temple is nice. You can stay in Fumin or camp at Lion Mountain. Then on to Anning via Qinglong scenic area, a beautiful road through a river gorge. Coming back from Anning is not so great, the road on the west side of Dianchi is really busy.
