Forums > Living in Kunming > U.S. students losing interest in China

@Campo: Well, most of the ones on semester programs these days are not backpackers and don't smoke, though they spend much of their time screwing around with electronic gadgets - Apple, I dunno, all the same to me - to the point where it's sometimes hard to get them to pay attention to China. I'm not sure this is an improvement on smoking as an addiction, but it seems to me it's another one. The smoking doesn't bother me, but then I smoke things.
@Faraday: don't know where you get the white trash - or maybe it is thrash.
@tiger: de-romanticisation isn't such a bad thing, though romanticisation fuels one for awhile, but in the long run it's better to get serious.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > 10 year visa for US and Canada from Thailand/HK?

@darkone: Which website says it's okay to MAIL your passport (from abroad, or within Canada?) to 'one of the four visa issuers' (I suppose these are the embassy and 3 consulates, is that right?) for a 10-year visa - is this a PRC government website or what? Does this work for a 10-year tourist visa? What kind of 10-year visa are you referring to?

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'.

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.

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.
