Forums > Living in Kunming > Super Bowl XLVI

The only game of Handegg I like to watch. Damn shame about the time though, at least we can warm up with some real football first.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Visa for teaching english in china

Visa stupidity is not just confined to Shandong. To me it sounds like the school hasn't obtained permission from the provincial education bureau to hire foreigners. Private ESL schools cover a broad spectrum of legality, from having no contact with the authorities, no authorization, no tax-paying (read: illegal) to nationwide schools allowed to set up branches anywhere and hire almost any number of foreigners they want. Most schools are somewhere in between. One thing is for certain: DON'T accept work or go there if they aren't sure they can settle things for you visa wise. They need to figure everything out beforehand and get written proof that they are allowed to hire foreigners. When they have that you can come to China on a tourist visa, get the paperwork done and make a trip to Where-ever to swop it for a work visa (thay's the most common way to do it, although you can also get everything done from Canada - biggest problem here is that the school is fairly clueless right now and probably will mess up the paperwork or at least spend an awful lot of time on it).

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Myanmar Consulate

I wouldn't try crossing over land. I went to another border crossing last month and foreigners were not allowed to enter Burma there. The guards were very chatty (slow day I guess) and advised us to get the visa in Kunming and fly to Burma from there. When asked about the Ruili crossing they said I could try but it got closed down somewhat arbitrarily from time to time and I couldn't count on being allowed to enter. Still needed to get a visa in Kunming anyhow. Chinese nationals do not need a visa to go to Burma, just a permission slip from the PSB.

Forums > Living in Kunming > The World's Greatest Golfer passes away at 69.

Golf enthusiasts all over the world today mourn one of the greatest golfers ever. Kim Jong Il playing out of Pyongyang, North Korea ascended into Heaven today due to mental and physical overwork according to DPRK's official (and only) news agency. According to said news agency Kim regularly scored 4-5 holes-in-one during a round of golf and would likely have won every single tournament on the PGA had he not graciously chosen to bow out and allow lesser beings like Mickelson, Woods and Donald a little time in the spotlight. Kim instead opted to spend his life tirelessly working for the prosperity and enlightenment of his people. It is expected that Kim's youngest son Jong-Un will try to fill the size 36 shoes of The Magnificent One. Kim Jong-Un had already promised to make at least 6 or 7 holes-in-one every time he plays to honour his father's memory. The Dear Leader is dead, Long live The Dear Leader!

I just read up on the "November 27th UFO disclosure". Seems like Barack Obama and the Pope are going to participate in a 2 hour live tv session to be broadcast worldwide. They are going to disclose how aliens live amongst us and how we earthlings should react to them.

My only question is: Will the tinfoil hat I made in the 1st grade let me see the aliens or do I have to make a new 2009 model?

Might isn't right and I don't really see a valid connection between global warming and little green shapeshifter robots. Wait a minute,, global warming,, little green men,, I might be pushing it but do you think those two could be related somehow?? Maybe "They" don't want us to know about the aliens because they are causing the global warming. Maybe Jimmy Hoffa and the Bilderbergs are in on it as well.

"Do you believe in God Danmairen?"

Do I come off as the religious type to you when I insist on scientific proof to prove wild statements and question the "I am sure it's there so it HAS to be there"- kinda thinking you guys present? (not even sure if it's more than one guy using different handles,, never noticed their names before on this site tbh).

Just to sum up,, no I don't believe in gods or religion. Interesting subject for a discussion though but there is a place and a time for everything.

"You sir, Danmeiren, have the mentality of the kind of people that denied that the Earth was round. It doesn't take a genius to realize that UFOs are a very much possibly real."

No I haven't and if you had bothered to read my post then you probably would have realized that the second part of your statement is wrong also (when you use it to refer to me).

The first part you write is just ridiculous sorry. How is it wrong to want some kind of scientific proof to wild and weird claims? Although there is a theory that space can be bent doesn't mean that it IS true. Less that organized matter such as spaceships and organic organisms can use them for teleportal travelling. As a matter of fact wormholes and instant travelling breaks just about every physical law outthere but I am sure that people like you can find some awkward pseudo-scientific theory as to why it should be possible.

Again let me point out that I don't deny that there by all means should be intelligent life other than us in the universe. I just don't think they are visiting us and it is highly unlikely that they ever will within the lifespan of an intelligent civilization.

I'll be very happy to be proven wrong one day if we actually do make first contact but I have a feeling you and the other True Believers outthere will do whatever it takes (even a fight against reality) NOT to be proven wrong.

Either way this discussion is kinda irrelevant since only one thing can happen that satisfies both sides. Contact with intelligent life. Still I have to say that the idea of shapeshifting alien robots doesn't immediately win me over. Strange huh?

Dear Joseph Capp

First of all. How do you get to the conclusion that "I know nothing about the subject" because I question someone claiming that shape-shifters and alien robots walk amongst us? I love people like you who aren't even able to see what a ridiculous statement that it.

You are clearly more biased than me since you already proudly have referred to your blog from which one can only deduce that you are a firm believer in UFOs (and since you attack me for doubting shapeshifting alien robots I have to assume that you belive they exist too).

"Maybe this good physicist look at he evidence which most close minded scientist will not entertain". How do you know he is a Good Physicist? Because he is one of the very few scientists who share your beliefs? I can tell you that he DOESN'T qualify as a good scientist unless his claims can be backed up by good solid science. Science and tests that can be backed up by other scientists.

The only thing you get right in your post is your final comment about the box. I would actually LOVE to find out that there are aliens and that they visit us regularly. The difference between you and me is that I don't mistake my interest and hopes with seeing interstellar crafts, little green men and EVIDENCE everywhere I look.

Oh,, and just for the record I do not doubt that there is intelligent life out there. Even by using the most conservative estimates in the Drake equation the number of planets harbouring life in the universe always ends up in hundreds of thousands.

The problem with the truly unimaginable distances in the universe prevents them from ever visiting us,, or us them. Either way I find it hard to belive they would develop their space travel ability, spend hundreds of years in cryostasis in space while travelling to Earth only to make a crop circle, probe a cow and then it is back home without making any contact.

But of course if they are here as shape-shifting alien robots then that should solve the problem.

Went there yesterday and it totally made my week. Nice decor and friendly staff and a real salad bar. Sadly we both wanted mexican food so I can't really say much about their other courses. The food was great but just a tad spicier would have improved the dish. The best thing was that we almost had the place to ourselves and we could have a quiet conversation without shouting, spitting Chinese people in the background. I realised how much I had missed that since coming here.

We went to Chicago Coffee a couple of days ago and it was a nice experience. The place is cozy with soft comfy chairs (I realized how much I have missed one since coming here) and they have a nice little collection of English language books in the corner consisting mainly of classics and travel litterature. I was looking forward to trying their advertized tortilla bar but it wasn't up and running that evening.

Instead we went for 2 12 inch pizzas -roast chicken and pepperoni- but we quickly realized that 1 would have been enough. Those things are heavy. I am mainly into Italian style pizza but Chicago's double layered pizzas are well worth a try. Their coffee seems to be a bit on the expensive side but people say good things about it and they have got a nice selection. I wouldn't mind dropping by again some day,, hopefully when they've got the tortilla thing going. English speaking staff btw.
