I don't think 'middle class urban dwellers' are the majority of Chinese who are not of the elite.

mmm, sorry, should be Beijing Independent Film Festival.
Shut down again. Comments?
Anonymous: 50 to 100 couples of common people' had their houses given to them by husband's parents? Strikes me as doubtful - how do you define 'common people'?
And what do you mean about 'our culture' - that of all non-Chinese?
How is it that, in discussing the world, so many people often get left out of consideration?
Somebody will have to prove to me that ordinary housing prices are 3 times higher than in London or NYC.
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.
Documentary Under the Dome captivates China
发布者When such a documentary does not lead to arrests or censorship in China, it likely means the state really is going to do something - about time (or, maybe, a little bit late). But of course the issue is monstrously huge, and not only in China.
England's Prince William in China, to visit Yunnan
发布者Don't understand 'taking everyone else's' or nimbyism, maybe something I don't know about?
Yunnan Drifter: Nizu, the end of the road
发布者Walk around it and go about your business, or stop and watch if you're interested - personally I think snakes are cool little animals.

Provincial toilets soon to be less disgusting
发布者@Shyam: I pay 5 jiao to 1 kuai for the public toilets. Most western tourist would probably do what you say, but 'western-style' toilets are not really designed to accomodate human physiology very well.
