Back now in Shanghai for a couple of days but still intended to give an overview of the best places in Kunming concerning Food & Drinks and Miscll. It’s vey subjective (some info based on the experiences of Kunming long stayers ) so feel free to contact me if you disagree:)
All locations are […]
One more day to go in Kunming. The city I started my life in China and which I left last year.
I’m typing on a keyboard that’ s so sticky most letters have to be re-typed but it works.
Has Kunming changed since last year. No, not at all. Everything is still happening in the […]
One week away from bloody hot, sweaty Shanghai. One week in good old Kunming where coffee is 5 kuai, food is 1/3 the price and shoe shiners are everywhere.
Wish you all a Happy Golden Week and don’t forget to spend, spend, spend..
I have just updated some more Yangshuo restaurant reviews. If i feel up to it I might, some day, continue with some more Yangshuo info. For now, just a last tip.
Bike out of West Street into the paddies. It’s great, it’s hot and you loose your breakfast fast. There are some […]

I mentioned before that most of the waitresses in the bars have pretty good English. It makes Yangshuo a weird enclave with bars, restaurants, hotels and lots of schools to learn English. They all seem to be in need of teachers so if you want to relax and make some travel money this might […]
Yangshuo for backpackers consists of one main street and some alleys leading up there. It’s called West Street and is a true Walhalla for travelers, which have been traveling the dirt roads of China. Compared to Dali it’s more crowded, compared to Lijiang it’s fairly quiet. It is the low season though now so […]
We have been blessed with some very fine and sunny weather the last two days. A nice change from the endless rain, drizzle etc. We came here to relax a bit but even relaxing has its limits. Sitting in one of the ample available bars we decided to make use of our time […]
Having a very good friend over means one has to go out of Shanghai and travel a bit. No choice but that is a good thing. Last weekend we went to the Xiang Yang Market to get the appropriate travel gear. Travel pants and travel shirts. Monday we flew in to Guilin, skipped the […]
A must read for anyone considering doing business in China
