Forums > Living in Kunming > yahoo mail and china

My Yahoo mail is screwed up this morning too - I can read emails but can't respond. Anyway, yahoo's idea of news reporting is a bad joke, weighed down by annoying advertisements and a lot of bs.

@ Napoleon: I get your point, but it seems to me that some familiarity of the teacher with the language of the student, and to some extent with the cultural attitudes the teacher can expect, is very worthwhile - at least I have found it so, as a language teacher. But I don't mean to exaggerate this.

On further thought, I well remember the importance of the raised fists of black American participants at the 66 Olympics. Behaviour within a game is one thing; the impact of the Olympic games within the highly-politicized arena of global affairs, whether intranational or international, is another.

Have the Olympics ever 'failed'? Criteria?
Sad to see the Palestinian athlete refusing to shake hands - I think the whole point of a game is that it is specifically just that - it is NOT politics, economics, warfare, etc. My argument against all those who claim that life is a game, and play it, or with it, that way.

There is no footbinding anymore. It's necessary to understand the past, useless to condemn it, reasonable to regret it. What needs to be condemned now is that which produces the poverty in which some people live.
But this article doesn't really help one to understand the past, it merely reminds us that there was one.

@tiger: sounds curious, education is compulsory through middle school, and is essentially free - i.e., for Chinese students, the law is that they MUST go to school, therefore some school MUST accept them. Do you think this happened because your daughter is a foreigner? Or another theory?

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.
