Kunming is one of many cities in China with over 5 million people that most of us have never heard about.

Most important to us, it is where my brother Colin has lived for most of the past 7 years. It is also where his restaurant,
Salvador's, is located.
Salvador's is famous for it's home-made organic ice cream and coffee as well as a well-stocked bar and lively late-night atmosphere.

The creative use of wood and glass create a relaxing and chilled-out environment, which is a treasure in this otherwise hectic and noisy part of the city.

The weather was perfect for sitting at the outside bar and enjoying a Brooklyn IPA (Seriously!! They have it!! The first non-lager beer that I'd had since leaving Europe!)

Colin's girlfriend, Aling,
has a store in Kunming where she sells her handmade purses and bags. She is on the right in the picture below. Her sister is on the left.

Some of Colin's friends had us over for dinner at their incredible apartment in New Kunming. This dinner, which highlighted at least 5 varieties of wild mushrooms, will soon be added to our
International Foodies Awards as the "#1 Homemade Meal".
