Seems to me Chinese pre-school would be a good idea.

No sirens here in western Kunming.
I got the same message that Ocean got yesterday.
I met a Chinese couple recently who say they want to/plan to open an International School in Kunming - they asked me if perhaps I'd like to teach in it but I am not in the market. I don't know when this is supposed to happen, but my impression is that it may not be for awhile.
So you have to pay to get out?
Figures. I guess.
Hmm.
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.
Lijiang Old Town bans certain businesses, promotes others
Posted byOverall seems like a good idea, though I don't see what's wrong with selling food barbecued over an open fire. Not sure it will take decades to bring back a good reputation. Question of 'locals' being innovative: I wonder how many businesses are run by Lijiang locals?

Yunnan's Myanmar borderlands becoming more accessible
Posted bySounds like an interesting place to visit, but $40/day for a guide for 14 days?
And you mention a Catholic church - okay, but I think Kengtung was also a missionary base for American Baptists in the late 19th century, no?
