Have heard the new X-Files is up and running, anybody know?
Of course watch Game of Thrones, but from the beginning if you're not up to date. My favorite TV series.
Other random favorites, not new, also to be watched in their entirety:

- X-Files

- Battlestar Galactica

- The Wire

- Carnivale

- Deadwood

- British version of House of Cards

- Boardwalk Empire

- Game of Thrones

- Game of Thrones, &

- Game of Thrones
The long-running series of gokunming posters whose ego problems cause them to insult each other at every opportunity, regardless of topic of conversation, is to be avoided, as it lacks a plot other than ego-defense and personality attacks - OR: some bright writer should create a TV comedy out of it, with invented episodes revealing what these people do in their offline lives, some of whom probably have them.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Ximeng Wa minority wooden drum festival

I think the occurrence of non-ethnic dancers masquerading as ethnic members for the benefit of tourists varies considerably. I went to the Ximeng festival quite a few years ago and I didn't detect any of the hundred or so dancers as non-Wa. Of course I could have been wrong, but at that one, anyway, I don't think I was.
On the other hand, I think a lot of the choreography of the dances was lilkely produced by Han.
Remember that these are mostly tourist events, designed to please tourists - ie, give them what they want. Most tourists are Han.

Forums > Study > Advice About Learning Chinese

If you're into learning Chinese, whatever formal method you adopt (for me it is classes with homework, and doing the homework - yeah, it's a lot of work, mostly the characters), try to hang out with Chinese people and speak Chinese with them as much as possible. It takes awhile. Spend less time with people who speak your native tongue, or another language that you may know well.
That sounds simple, and it is, but it's necessary and effective.

I think any move in this direction is a good one, although I doubt that any of these projects will be good enough. Anybody know figures on the amount of air pollution that the increasingly large number of private cars produces here?

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.
