@Spartans: which other Chinese cities offer almost double the average salaries o Kunming with much cheaper rent? I'm not aware that rent in Kunming is particularly expensive, but then there are a lot of things I don't know.

Geezer, much appreciated.
Thanks, Geezer, sounds good.
Minor correction: nobody told me not to hurry, that's just my own decision, based on the fact that it seems I'm doin all right.
@redjon, if you like the place, who cares what the article says?
Description of other cities is interesting, though. I might rank them a bit differently, according to me own interests.
Thanks, noble - not something I need to do anything about for awhile, but at some point my guess is that I will need to.
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 byNo train leaving Kunming will get to Pakistan on the Khunjerab Railway for a number of years, as it has not been built yet. Note presence of Pamir Mts., through which the present highway runs.
