Of course today employers want degree-holders. My mini-rant is just, as my wife actually has a Teaching quailifcation as well as TESOL, that schools employ teachers with any old degree not related to teaching at all. If I want someone to build me a dam, I'd want someone with an engineering degree not a psychology degree. If I was to have surgery, I'd want a doctor with a medical degree and not a literature degree! Why then if I want to employ a teacher would I want someone with a computer science degree? And how does that make them an Expert?
Why does someone have to be an expert to teach English?
Some people have teaching ability without a degree don't they? Perhaps more so than some people with a degree not related to teaching anyway. A graduate in Engineering or Accounting might be good in those respective fields, but how is that related to whether or not they can teach?
Comparing how guns kill people to how cars kill people? Are cars designed to kill? Guns are designed to do nothing but to kill.
Because the USA was founded by armed revolution (single shot muskets weren't they?), so its citizens need to be armed to prepare for another armed revolution? To overthrow the government which is based upon the constitution that allows for this arming of civilians? And this is the reason why the Batman maniac could buy a semi-automatic with the 100 bullet clip? At least his freedoms weren't infringed.
Leshan steam train is also narrow gauge? It would be cool to try that one too.
To get to Kunming Bei to catch the metre gauge cost me 1 kuai for a 20 min bus ride - how long will it take to get to Leshan?
Although yesterday afternoon my family turned up at the station to discover the afternoon run is closed for some sort of refit. The morning run was not mentioned as closed.
Went & tried it. Runs every day through Spring Festival, although the Railway Museum is closed for a couple of days over the break. Very interesting, and the kids loved it!

发布者Is this train still running? Will it be operating over the Spring Festival holidays? Is there a contact number to inquire about these details?
