Most people I know have no problem playing dumb, and just using a card from someone else in line. The rest just get an extra card from a business. So if you want a card, make some friends with people in the store before you check out :P
Most universities seem to come out the same. If you want to speak Chinese with lots of students then it's a great opportunity.
Private schools vary, most are ok if not a little expensive.
I've had many friends who enjoyed Keets.
I've met a number of people who had many problems with KCEL Dongfang. Short story is they're only interested in money, and worried about their failing monopoly on providing grey area visas to other schools, and teachers who don't actually study.
My advice is come on a tourist visa first. Spend a month checking out various schools and then decide. Last time I checked you could change a tourist visa into a student visa if you rented an apartment, or had a place to stay for 6 months(or was it a year?). Almost any school could do that last year, so I'm guessing it's the same. Of course with international events things change quickly, so check with the entry-exit bureau first.
Anyone have more news about this?

I guess that's why my in-laws make me wash the vegetables so thoroughly....
My advice is to find a hotel nearby to stay in first for a week or so. Spend that time finding an apartment. There are plenty of real estate agents, and students that can help you hunt for an apartment when you get here.
There are some websites to find an apartment, but they usually don't provide much information.
No results found.
Cheese tasted great. Much better than other pizza joints.
Excellent salad bar. Hamburgers are usually ok. The fancier dishes were a little lacking.
Giving it a 4 stars for the salad bar. If you were going there for "fine dining" then probably best to go somewhere else.
The store also has some nice imported food(though obviously Metro is cheaper for some things). The freshly baked goods are nice too.
Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.
Not bad. Pretty much what you would expect, but expensive for China.
Expensive, but decent bread. Other places are better, but not bad if you're in a hurry.
Starbucks to market Yunnan coffee in China outlets
发布者Huh? How is Yunnan distinctive from rural areas in any other country with a centrally controlled economic system(which is pretty much any "modern and developed" country today)? How is The Brother's Jiang expanding everywhere in Yunnan different from Starbucks trying to expand in Yunnan?
Do you think Iowa has lost its distinctness because of all the Mexican and Chinese restaurants that have opened up? Oh wait, even though they almost all serve the same food, and their suppliers are almost all the same... it's so much better because they all have a different name... cripes, it's just marketing.
You can go to any city in Yunnan and you will see the same products being sold in all of them. What does it matter if the name of the store is in Chinese or in English? Does this somehow prevent you from speaking to the people who work there? Does it stop you from taking your time? It's just a marketing symbol, get over it.
