Forums > Living in Kunming > Western Value

China's xenophobia is a strange and contradictory animal. Lately, the rejection of Western influences in education is a head scratcher. The pillars of Mao Thought depend on Socialism (France), Communism (German) and Marxist-Leninist (German-Russian) all originated in Europe. A highly respected business thinker is Drucker (USA). Economic thinkers Stiglitz (USA) and Mundell (Canada) have even been given China "Green Cards." Kissinger and Bill Clinton have been paid millions to speak and, in the case of Kissinger, to consult and generate propaganda for China.

I have met both HFCAMPO and Matt Miller. I have given my impression of both men. Matt does not think anyone can read or tell much about someone newly met for only few minutes. But then, I don't think he has much experience interviewing prospective hires. A summary of how each impressed me:

HFCAMPO: He is what he is; a retired Marine, a straight shooter and into nutty conspiracies. I would trust him and would rely on him to have my back in the shit.

Matt Miller: If I needed to hire someone to sell used cars, I might consider hiring Matt.

Matt provided this info for hid 'Miller Guide'

"Matt Miller graduated from the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City in 1995, completing both the savory and pastry programs. He has worked in professional kitchens in New York City, including Dakota and Verbena, as well as in Louisiana, including Mike Anderson's Seafood Restaurant, The Chimes Restaurant and Oyster Bar, and The City Club at River Ranch. He has a decade of experience in professional kitchens, and is an expert on gastronomy and wine.
Matt also holds a Master's Degree in Languages from the University of Louisiana, and is proficient in six languages. He has been living in China for almost three years now. He has taught languages at all levels, including at the university level, for over a decade. He also has two years' experience writing for food and wine websites"

Oh? I thought they part of the global influences not external to China. I dunno, could be they are anti-social, or then could be social, internally global forces not external to sovereign states with anti-sovereign characteristics.

Good for quality, but pricey, hand tools.

Be aware they will push whatever they are selling. Some of the staff have no idea about the technical side of appliances.

I went there to buy a stove. I repeatedly told them I would be using bottled gas. They sold me a stove. When I went to my local gas guy, I learned there are at least three kinds of gas sold. Luckily, B&Q did not deliver as promised. I went back to the store and discovered they had sold me a stove they needed to be hooked up to the gas main. I got my money back.

The sales lady was almost in tears, 没有问题!I don't know if it a safety or design issue, but I would think B&Q would know and care.

Last week had an 8:45am flight.

Subway starts at 9am. I have no idea where to catch an airport express bus. Eight taxis refused to go to the airport. After almost an hour standing on Beijing Lu took a black taxi, this dude drives slower than my mother, 120 yuan.

Flight back was delayed so I learned the subway stops running at 6:10pm.

Getting a taxi back was easy, more taxis than customers. Taxi was 87 yuan including 1o yuan toll, airport to Beichen area. Yes, he took a longer route than necessary.

Kunming imagines being a gateway for international travelers. New airport but hard to get to and from it.

World Class Airport, NOT!

Tonight "Peacock", a performance by Yang Liping (杨丽萍), to begin her world tour, 8pm, 100-1680 yuan at Yunna Haigeng Auditorium.

Saw this lady perform at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, in California, in 1995. Quite a good and interesting show.

I'm going to try to make it.

Not so good. Kimchi had a very sour taste. Other food was nothing to brag about. I don't think I would go back.
