Suggest nonmarriage unless you're going to have kids. This may take a little mutual negotiation. Not specific to China.
You will have to get a Lao visa at the border - the bus will stop there for you. You have to be out of China by midnight of the 30th. Advise you not to take the bus all the way to Chiangmai, it's too long a bus ride. You can get a bus from Jinghong to Luang Namtha in Laos any morning about 10 o'clock.
I like the Taoist story, but I also think that 'being practical' - a Chinese virtue - can be overdone and can be merely another word for selfishness and sometimes for hopelessness and passivity in the face of Authority/Power in regard to the real possibilities of changing things for the better.
On the other hand, I sometimes think too much.
Try asking people in New York.
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.
Urban re-greening effort to include 37 new Kunming parks
发布者In 2017 I think it's become a questionable dream.
University in Yunnan requires students to run 240 kilometers for graduation
发布者Folks, it's just about running.
Urban re-greening effort to include 37 new Kunming parks
发布者Great plans, good idea, but US$1 billion is a lot of money. Important to think of priorities, not just in Kunming, but in Yunnan generally.
Forgotten Flying Tigers headquarters and barracks found in Kunming
发布者Think you might be right, Peter. Anyway, hope they don't make it into some kinda showy shiny Glorious Patriotic Chinese-American Friendship sort of thing. If they keep it real, as a museum, that's fine.
China cracks down on pyramid scheme "epidemic"
发布者Might be - it's big, anyway. Was present in Taiwan as early as 1992 or so, I had a couple friends who were into it.
