So there is 'good' food, but all culture is equally valid and exempt from evaluation. That makes sense.
There is good food in the same way that there is good culture i.e. its a matter of what you are used to and what new things you choose to eat/accept.
I can't imagine you 'humbly' doing anything you pompous prick.
"There are, in fact, objective principles which make some food good, and some food bad"
You mean 'snobbery'.
Almost as annoying as those cookery competition shows like 'Masterchef' and 'The Great British Bake Off'.
All the locations are basically the same, that's the whole point of McDonalds. My personal favourite is the BLT double burger. You can make the meal a little healthier by switching the fries for sweetcorn or a veg wrap. As I said on another thread, its not good food - its salty, fatty, sugary junk food, but crucially for me, it doesn't make me sick.
my bad
African teams never win because almost all the African nations, bar a handful, are poor, disorganised, and corrupt. Some great talent in Africa, and the standard is continually improving, but that goes for the rest of the world too, who have greater resources to put into developing their youth players and better leagues for them to play in.

a very pleasant park with a tall pagoda you can climb and take photos of the city if you wish. Roses in summer, blossom in spring, nice lawn to sit on, bbq areas.
Recently the food seems to be better. Decent steak at a decent price, decent pizza, some decent wine, and the music is more suitable these days (Rammenstein wasn't the right mood music for Cantina)!
Had lunch - grilled chicken on top of mashed cuttlefish and a salad. The chicken was tasty and well cooked, and there was plenty of meat/fish to fill up even a hungry person. The salad was overdressed and nothing special - I won't order one next time. The service is a decent imitation of what you might find in the west. A large menu of food and drink. A nice civilised place to go for food or drink, but some of the dishes (i.e. the steaks) are very pricey. You could easily spend 300rmb+ per person here. Equally, it is possible to have lunch for under 60rmb per person (as we did). Warning - the bottle of water on each table costs an eye watering 48rmb! Don't be a sucker by opening it!
Went for a spot of lunch. Best pizza I've had in Kunming by some distance. In fact, one of the best pizzas I've ever had - quality ingredients, thin base, cooked to perfection. Sashimi salmon tasted very fresh and was well presented. The drinks are expensive, and one of the waiters was letting the side down by being a bit scruffy and impolite (hence not 5 stars), but definitely go and try the pizza.
Not bad. Pizza base was a little thick for my taste. Great selection of craft beers in the fridge, a few beers on tap, and well priced mixed drinks and cocktails. Staff were pleasant. A 14" pizza is the perfect size for two people, and very reasonably priced at 45-70RMB. Beware that the English menu, whilst written in perfect English, is not necessarily accurate. I ordered the 'local one' pizza expecting pepperoni and mango but got neither. The waitress explained that was a mistake on the menu. Would be nice if the menu corresponded with what you get on the plate! Hopefully this will get sorted.
Migrant workers receive bricks in lieu of pay
发布者There must be consequences to their refusal to manage their business responsibly and pay out. In days gone by they would have been sent to poor rural areas for 're-education'.

发布者Delicious food - best pizza in town by far. I really appreciate a focus on quality over gimmicks, it's so rare in China.
Government sues parents to get kids back to school
发布者@JanJal yeah I didn't really understand that point either!
@Hotwater in the guys defence, I think he was explaining why it happens rather than condoning it. Not quite the same thing.
$17 billion Chongqing-Kunming railway nears completion
发布者If you live in Chenggong, it'll definitely be worth taking the train. If you live in Kunming proper, it'll take 60-90mins to get to the train station compared with 30mins to the airport.
