Seems cleaner where I live too, but I always boil tap water as per Chinese practice - doesn't affect any possible gunk, but it kills bacteria.

Good takeaway sushi and sashimi in the supermarket basement of the large building complex on the corner of Nathan Road and Peking Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, hard to get that in Kunming too. You can get a lot of it for between HK$50 and HK$100, depending on how much you miss the sea.
The YMCA in Tsim Sha Tsui has massive Anglo-American breakfasts. Plenty of restaurants in the area, including the South Asian restaurants in Chungking Mansions. The Landmark is obviously upscale and expensive as hell.
I'm never quite sure what Kung fu means in international English these days - are you referring to any/all styles of specifically Chinese martial arts (wushu)?
Guess it depends on what you're used to - I've never experienced a steamy evening in Kunming. Does seem to me, however, that New Era, for the prices they charge, ought to be clear about what they're offering, even if it's unnecessary.
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.
Chinese student apologizes after Maryland graduation speech sparks firestorm
发布者So in other words, Peter, there is still a good bit of free speech in the West.

发布者Perhaps she's just now realizing the truth of the Sartre quote that she presented in her speech - problem is, of course, that you can never really be sure just what the consequences of your choice will be - and yet you have to make them anyway - i.e., according to Sartre, we are 'condemned to freedom'.

发布者While the issues involved are important and worthy of discussion, I'm rather sorry that so much focus is being put on this particular woman, who doesn't really deserve being singled out, praised, or vilified on all this. My impression is that she's perhaps unwittingly and naively stumbled into a limelight she didn't want - perhaps 'she should have known better', ok, but then that's part of what naivete is, and naivete is no crime.

发布者@vicar: True, the wonders of other countries are rarely the subject of graduation-day speeches in US universities.
