Also, I get food poisoning much more in China than I do anywhere else on the planet. From the conversations, I've had, most foreigners get food poisoned here once or twice a year minimum. Avoiding food that tastes bad seems like a logical choice, but that's always not always the case.

In Kunming I do tend to end up eating oil, greasy, overly spicy, and sometimes bad food. Sure it's cause I paid for it, cause I'm hungry, cause I don't want order and wait again, and cause sometimes I've come to accept some of the swill the locals call food, and they eat it all fine. (mini billdan rant).
I will admit, in the case of the mushrooms, they were off, but not so bad you would spit them out. They were not so rancid or so foul I couldn't swallow them. And I agree my advice will not ferret out all poisonous mushrooms. It's just a personal anecdote I always use for myself now, especially regarding cooked mushrooms, since the projectile vomit I had made a very distinct memory.
Forums > Living in Kunming > New bus route handbook Thanks. I'll be on the lookout for that handbook. Google maps used to be very accurate for buses, but not so much now.
Forums > Food & Drink > Wasteful Business Lunches I've asked for dabao at business lunches. Though, I still felt a little shame and pushed it off on my being a Westerner. The food tasted great later on at home though.
