Kunming Southwest Timber Market
Overall good selection for creating basic "heavy / thick / bulky" furniture.

Paul's Shop (not yet opened)
Crumbly cheese yes but the cheese seems to be low in fat/oils.
Tastes great.
It seems the cheese is small/medium artisan maker with batches that vary.
Expiry dates on cheese is not a big issue...it can only get better...
Great local shop.

Pizza da Rocco
When the cat is away the mice play.
I've been there (at the old location) with Rocko present and it was exellent, although without the owner present it was very disapointing..

Cozy atmosphere and very friendly host.
Will return again now that it's found!

Stone Age graveyard discovered in Yunnan's Chuxiong Prefecture
Posted by@ Bilingualexpat my thoughts exactly, but in addition, it may show how important Yunnan was in the copper and tin trade, aka bronze trade via rivers flowing to southern cities such as Ankor Watt and other sea side trade centers.
Paragliding high above Tiger Leaping Gorge
Posted byKC430,
You are correct on photos....
These mountains had never been flown above their summits with a paraglider wing' let alone cross the gorge and continue to Shangrila in a narrow and marginal weather window. Many in china claimed it was impossible but i knew it's no different than any other location on this planet..
It's sad a few uneducated police officers interpret and apply china's aviation laws to paragliding . The police interpret Nick flying a 747 towards the china/Tibet border but, officially; paragliding is recognized as a sport, not a full sized airplane by the Chinese government, including CAAC.
Nick is a very talented and experienced athlete, Thumbs up for Nick's route..
