yopopo, youi could take the time to find the products etc., but make sure to relax a bit from all that and pay some attention to China itself, as it is a rather interesting place.
BillDan, there is also the problem of parents of those who date - 2000 years of Confucianism has had them indoctrinated into the idea that what the planet really needs is more of their offspring, and that their offspring are morally, filially bound to have more offspring.
Having said that, however, it's important to remember that other ideologies perform the same function in other parts of the world, which, combined with modern scientific medicine, have created the current situation where there are more cars than parking places.
It's all pretty frightening.
Yep, nit-picky is not going to work in China, and will only make you annoyed and annoying.
Anyway, what is 'natural' about the idea of, say, shampoo, anyway? Cooked food is unnatural, was invented just a few score millenia back.
However, biodegradable makes sense - suggest you fly here on a plane that burns biodegradable jet fuel.
Chinese toothpaste works fine - any indications to the contrary?
Magnifico: I don't think ALL art is propaganda. It MAY be propaganda or contain propaganda, but art involves many things, the most important being communication (as opposed to manipulation).
No results found.
Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.
As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.
Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.
Too bourgeois.
Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
Ain't no flies on Salvador's.
New visa and residence regulations for the PRC
发布者More visa changes - incredible.
Orlianne, in Kunming, anyway, you can live where you want (apartment, whatever), and I think this is true in most places now.
Kunming's metro could cost 300 billion yuan
发布者The metro will be a great thing but it's certainly going to cost - even better than the bus system, which was an excellent supplement to the bicycles before everybody started buying cars. The point is less that the metro will be good than that the automobile population is bad.
Much of modernity is seriously warped, and everybody wants to get in it and proudly make the same mistakes previously made by others. It's profitable too - for some.

Airport temper tantrum lands Yunnan official in prison
发布者Airplanes are way over-used these days anyway - just one of a million things that the planet can't take anymore. Stay away from airports.
