Forums > Living in Kunming > Yunda ready to move

It's largely irrelevant to the physical moving of Yunda to Chenggong (altho geography does play a role), but has to do with ideas being created & tested freely as a guide to the creation of the future, rather than the simple following of the directions of a power elite which MAY (ha!) have its own agenda (not to say that the future is something that can, or should, be created by intellectuals, acting on their own).

Would all take a great deal of rearranging - ferget it.

'Development' in 'modern' societies, standardized forms and all, has all too often been a matter of cookie-cutter replication of the European and US models that developed from the industrial revolution, regardless of local conditions. Some of this has been beneficial for large numbers of people, some has not.

@Haali: Should same be done for British tourists raising hell in Amsterdam every weekend and chasing prostitutes in Bangkok - i.e., monitor them by their home government, have Dutch (or Thai) authorities prosecute them if they do anything illegal and then have home government ban them from travel (e.g, take their passports away) and then fire them from the public sector when they get home?
If every nation's governments monitored their nationals abroad, their would be even more monitoring of people all over the world, plus restrictions on right to travel, etc.
Alternative: leave the Thai and Dutch governments to enforce their own laws in the territories they control.

Figured it out. Enforcement of laws against such public anti-social behaviour in China is a good idea, as Liumingke says. But I'm still not sure what I think about state monitoring of citizens traveling abroad.
Comments?

@Liumingke: Nope, I don't quite get it - enforcers of controls on behaviour of Chinese tourists (who come to Shanghai?) led to Shanghai becoming one of these first cities to 'civilize'? Or enforcers of things generally in Shanghai? Or what, and when?
Is this about Chinese tourist behaviour? If so, where?
Confused.

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.

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.
