A good burglar logic would be to burgle places NOT in one's neighborhood - the local locksmith who had installed your lock would be the first person the cops would go to.
I think you should be able to find one in the neighborhood of your housing complex, if you live in one - you might try just walking around the area for half an hour & look for guys who make keys, etc..
While you're at it, see if you can find some serious olives, too.
Obviously this thing is screwed up.
No results found.
Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.
As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.
Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.
Too bourgeois.
Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
Ain't no flies on Salvador's.

Posted byMy sympathies, Colin. Beijing by bike was wonderful in 1986, and in Kunming not all that long ago, as you remember.
@bluppfisk: I sympathize too, but I'm not sure if increasing the aggression level is going to help, whether deserved or not.
Kunming to Vietnam border by rail soon to be reality
Posted byThe Lao Cai bus station is a 45-minute walk (I think that's about right) from the border - I've done it both ways, but it was some time ago, don't exactly remember how long it took me.

Posted byI'm sure thievery sometimes happens on buses and trains, but I can't remember of hearing of any incidents of such in Yunnan, and I've ridden a lot of buses and trains here. Take common sense measures and I doubt if you'll have problems.
