there's a place on Yieryi Dajie, roughly opposite the main gate of Yunnan Normal University, that sells art supplies. dunno how kiddie-friendly their stuff is, but it'd be a good place to start looking.

there's also a kids' arts/music school called Tongyi on Longxiang Jie, should that be of interest.

欧洲足球? showing rugby? what's up with that? idiots.

@Omgiri - Samoana is on the same strip as Sandra's - i.e. pedestrian street outside with plenty of space for parked bikes. something solid (is anything solid round here?) to lock to might be a harder requirement.

ever looked out of the window on a flight over China? i never saw so many reservoirs... does this imply impending doom at the hands of the country's climate, or just that the mechanics of extracting groundwater are not practical in these parts?

one way, or another, i think China's water supply is an issue we're going to hear more of over the coming years...

damn! that's a lot of dams... i was tickled to see in an earlier water-related GoKunming post that the Yunnan University Asia International River Center chief scientist is named He Daming...

no-one's reviewed this place for nearly 3 years! i think i know why: it's solid. a bit boring maybe, but they get the job done: food on the table in good time, attentive staff, wide selection of items. the 'Prague Breakfast' is a fine feed, still good value after the recent price increase.

i joined friends here on the weekend. they were getting food and playing a game. the pizzas looked great, but my friends advised me to avoid them, saying they tasted bland.

having made a selection, it took 20 minutes for the staff to tell me that my choice was no longer available. as my friends had nearly finished their game, we then all took our business elsewhere.

helpful advice:

- if someone arrives, give them a menu

- sort out the beer selection

- if i speak to you in Chinese, speak back to me in Chinese

i've recently rediscovered this place. it's a little hit and miss, but i have to say that with a little experimentation, you can find some quality food here. while not perfect, the vindaloo is the best i've had.

i first sampled the Silver Spoon burgers a few weeks back - not bad at all, though i was unconvinced that they were 1/2 pound. another visit yesterday, and this time i was persuaded... definitely a fat burger. i was very happy with my cheese and bacon burger. diners with large appetites, be warned - you'll need a side of something to make a meal - the burger is just a burger - no fries.
