Forums > Living in Kunming > Any movies playing?

why do it to yourself? i have had visits to the flicks in China that have gone smoothly, but that's maybe 20% of the time. errors in projection, people on the phone, errors with audio, people not understanding seat numbers... it's a joke. if it were super cheap cheap, it might be worth it, but it's not. get yourself a decent bittorrent client... and, oh, umm, errr... suffer the Chinese internet instead.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Donating clothes - where?

The Hump used to received clothing donations.

here's a story about it from a few years back: www.gokunming.com/[...]

i think there's been some ownership changes within the Hump Group over the past few years, so there's a chance they no longer accept donations. i'd suggest heading to the guesthouse www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item/the_32/the_hump_hostel and asking the staff.

good luck - can you let us know how you get on?

didn't another musician injure themselves with boiling water one time on the way to perform in Kunming? Brain Failure was the band, i think. is Kunming just too dangerous a place to get to?

went along to see the exhibition this afternoon - not the most amazing photos - but the Thai/China cultural exchange angle is interesting, and if you're passing by, you might as well drop in - it's free :)

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.
