@BillDan: meditation helps. I am not being either flippant or sarcastic.
@Complainers: complain all you want, just stop insulting people.
Much better to go down and see them in person.
Group drinking is extremely popular.
And I like the leetle kids, well, most of them most of the time, anyway.
And Chuihu, and the old Yunda campus.
And that there are plenty of small shops, and restaurants of all kinds everywhere, as well as plenty of streetfood stands.
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.
Man misses 1 billion yuan jackpot by single number
发布者Money means power, and wealth is a form of power over others. What's the justification of awarding it to somebody on the basis of having picked one number rather than another?

Kunming Auto Show rakes in 1.5 billion yuan
发布者Sad to see China follow most of the rest of the blooming corporate capitalist consumer economies in making the private automobile the symbol of middle-class 'arrival'. Such great machines have been produced! and what a collective disaster! GROWTH, regardless of where the money goes after it is concentrated, or whose hands it is concentrated in, or what the results will be! But nations and corporation must compete, that is the universal rule of life...as long as we remain passive and accept our distractions.
Vampire octopus.
Kunming initiative targets homeless children
发布者Depends on where these folks are transferred to, and under what conditions.
