Good luck for something that looks like a cool project :)
If you can show the champions league matches real time but also the evening after (otherwise in china time it would b about 3:30 in the mornning..) that would be cool... :)

Forums > Study > Software for learning Chinese?

Hi,
Belenet looks like a useful tool, just i got only 3 groups of 2 lessons each, is that because of the free version? do u know more about it?
I personally use www.iknow.jp that's a very useful website based on different levels, the only problem is that it's an online sw and it's vey slow in china, but if you use the version for smartphones things go better...
Also Anki is a good program, it's a database with different languages tools inside, the chinese is not the best but at least once you downloaded you don't need internet to use it..
Do you guys have more sw in mind? Personally they are better than reading books or going to school, but it's only my opinion...

Forums > Living in Kunming > swimming

I usually go to swim in a big indoor swimming pool on the way to dian chi, 20 kuai for more than 2 hours, it's very clean and water is usually very hot in winter, perfect for sport since there are lanes...take the xi yuan lu and then turn right at dian chi lu, go straight, you will cross a bridge then keep going all the way to a kind of sport center (you will see few tennis courts on the right side), get the way in and ask for the swimming pool inside...good luck!

Forums > Travel Yunnan > DALI DENTIST WARNING

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, that's what this website is about I guess...I've been to a dentist in Kunming, at the corner with Zheng yi lu and hua shan nan lu, I think you can get the ad on gokunming. They worked professionally, clean and smooth, my dentist couldn't speak english but anyway other dentists can speak some English...finally I can definitely recommend that place,much cheaper than back home and good quality, tks again for your feedback.

If your phone is really precious you can try to broadcast a public radio message (ask a chinese friend to help you) and you can promise a tip to the driver if he gives you back the phone..a guy did that to get his bass guitar back and it worked..good luck!

Im very happy (would say even proud!) to be one of the still resident foreigners who talked with joost about moondog when that was only an idea in his mind, to share during our gigs in town! It was only few years ago, now moondog is a km institution, that was an amazing work joost!

Litlle "critic" about this interview: not even a mention for the fussball, a brilliant idea that helped creating the mixed chinese/laowai crew which is one of the nicest and most precious contributions the bar gives to the city....long live joost and moondog!!!! See you soon back here joost!

low maintenance woman hahahaah!! That was great john.... also very nice and clean sound, good job from the recording team!

Congratulations to everybody who was involved in this great made in km project!

sorry guys but I still think this award is a joke... quality is not counting preferences, clicking links etc otherwise the best musicians ever will be m.jackson, the best film titanic or the best website facebook..most popular often doesn't mean the best...i gave an example nordica hosted few of the most interesting musicians coming to town and it's not even mentioned as a music venue...then if u call the price the best of gokunming i think it would b less pretentious, misleading and fair enough... peace roberto

Mc Donald's breakfast better than Prague Cafe? that's funny..I personally think Prague Cafe's cappuccino is the best in town...
exorbitant prices? whenever I try to cook some western food I spend more in buying the ingredients,they are amazingly expensive in km..
my rating:
service 5 stars
food quality 4 stars
atmosphere 5 stars
quality/price ratio 4 stars
menu selections 3 stars

Good place with one of the best pizzas in town (especially the white one with mushrooms), good yoghurt and cozy atmosphere.
To get it there,from jian she lu go along the wen lin jie until you find game cafe and dune cafe at your left, then take the narrow street at your left, you walk for 1 minute and you will see it at your right!
good luck :)

Totally agree with Barbara, I've been many times in Prague Cafe and I have to say:
-the cappuccino is the best you can get in town
- their breakfast offers, especially the fruit salad with yoghurt and granola never disappointed me
- the pasta is of course not authentically Italian but it's always cooked in the proper way and tasty (and it's not cheap to make a good pasta in kunming)
- the staff is absolutely friendly, efficient and nice (this is another thing not easy to get in town)
People are getting more and more picky in km, we should just remember we are in south west of china and considering the prices of foreign ingredients we should think to be lucky to get somebody available to provide foreign dishes (no western bars/restaurant gets rich in km).
Criticism is good when it's done to improve things, otherwise sounds just over the top and not respectful.
