If you only need the tailor for ordinary adjustments to clothing or drapes or something, there is likely to be at least one tailor near your xiaoqu (there are at least 2 near mine, I haven't really looked around for more) - tailors are not rare here, but what do you need done? If it's some western- or high-fashion thing, I don't know who can do what.
Note that Yunnan accents/dialects vary with location. Don't understand why Yunnan peasants and 'Yunnan mountain tribal persons' are the 'soul & essence of China' - China's a big place, lotta local variations all over, including linguistic ones.
Yes.
Pain in the Ass Department.
Don't know but there were at least 2 events of off-road competition about 8 years ago in Simao Prefecture, perhaps has continued. Involved very experienced guys from Malaysia.
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.
