@geezer ... Time is a tabloid rag..don't believe a word, everything on that site/magazine is biased against anything chinese. Despite reputation, Time is NOT an intelligent publication.

YNU and YNNU are 5 minutes walk between them. Location is convenient and a good bus service in all directions. Plenty of options for lunch all around. Teaching quality is hard to measure but i would hazard a guess that YNNU has the upper hand. I'm not sure how accurate the statement is that the classes are held in Chenggong - maybe YNU have something in Chenggong but YNNU has their Chinese Language institute just inside the jianshelu entrance. Both uni's cost the same. YNU has a much nicer campus and YNNU is a bit rough - but some people like roughing it. The curriculum in both schools is the same, you can get private classes for an extremely reasonable 55 per hour if you want. Accommodation (off campus) can be hard to find at the beginning of a semester so better to come a month early. CUCAS are very helpfull but whatever they do for you (in exchange for money), you will discover that you need to do it all again yourself when you arrive.
abcd..yea...Denial, fear, resentment..classic

No results found.
been there several times, very satisfied every time. menu has classics like fish n chips, bolognese, pizzas etc. very tasty, at good prices.
Friendly staff and good service, food and prices are ok. No complaints but its nothing special either, and not worth a visit unless you live closeby.
Nice atmosphere and cosy but the western food is bad. I think they deep-fry the burgers. As a cafe - 4 stars (service is a little bit lacking at times), coffee and cakes etc are good. As a restaurant, 2 stars (western food is too bad, asian food is mamahuhu).
"All the Meat" only had about 3 slices of salami on it, so maybe i got the wrong order. Anyway, leaving that aside - soggy bread, ketchup as tomatosauce, and cheese was probably from a tube.
Potato wedges soggy as well.
I left half my meal, the only thing up to scratch was the coke and the service. Will not be back.
If the name of the shop is written in english then they should speak english, yes! A pokey shithole trying to give the impression of a quaint li'l ole bookshop. Pig-ignorant staff, never been greeted with a smile there, nor even greeted. If you must shop here, bring your own bag. 1 star earned for selection and the (for me) convenient location.
Investors run on Kunming metal exchange for billions
发布者We cant live our lives without commodities futures. If you cant guarantee the future price, the farmer is forced to speculate and might grow something else instead, leading to unmanageable swings in supply and demand.
Rare earth metals, however..might be a bit of a bubble? Could be that some people buy it just because its rare. Maybe this stuff so rare that it has no practical use.
Bye-bye Nujiang ziplines

Yunnan legislators mull abolishing free car perk for officials
发布者Better encourage competition and allow foreign vehicles. A Fiat Panda, for example, would be an appropriate car.
