Amazing the interests that grab so many foreigners living in Kunming. I'd be curious to know the percentage of those grabbed who are from the US.

Yes, for what it's worth, I think Burger King is better than the fastfood competition. As fart as my death is concerned, I have other problems.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Laos visa on arrival

Just crossed & recrossed Lao border - no problems with visas at border for most nationalities, but nearly 30 nationalities cannot get visa at border - mostly African countries, including Nigera; also Turkey, don't remember the others.

You may be right, Voltaire, but I think a case can also be made for independent origination of bronze work in the Yunnan-Viet Nam area ceterend in Yunnan and spreading south to Viet Nam, rather than the other way around - I'm not sure at the moment of the dates of

Such early bronze work - will be interesting to see whether it represents an independent discovery of bronze from the Shang in the north, or whether bronze culture spread from south to north in what today has become China, or vice versa, or what. At any rate it would seem to put the mytho-history of early 'Chin' into question.

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.

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.
