Not sure how going out & raising hell affects teaching, but of course drunk/stoned people teaching ESL classes or overtly chasing/annoying students of the opposite sex, or perhaps of the same sex, in & out of the classroom, is usually a negative.
Well, perhaps I don't go to enough parks - Cuihu (Green Lake Park) is about it - but I haven't seen a lot of tents or a lot of green space. Cuihu on a weekend is sometimes a bit crowded, but it's okay and in a nice area of the city.
@ dudeson: Much of what you have to say might be useful for discussion if it were not consciously exaggerated and/or stated in wilfully insulting terms.
Is this correct, tiger? I have sent documents (not packages) by EMS but packed them at the local post office, didn't have to go to the depot.
I agree that the words racist, racism etc. are often loosely thrown around. Most definitions of 'race' are too vague to be meaningful, and the traditional one is simply false. In that latter sense, if you believe that 'races' exist at all, you are simply mistaken and have a racist outlook.
We all need to get over this crap, which is divisive in the worst way. For various historical reasons, clumps of gene pools exist, without any clear borders. For somewhat different historical reasons, socio-cultural categories have grown up in minds, and it is these categories, conflated with inaccurate ideas about genetics or 'blood', that are the basis for the inaccurate or vague definitions and for the practice of racism. Racism exists, but not race.
That's it. The ad appeals to racist thinking, and clearly promotes color prejudice. As such it is nasty, by whatever definition.
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How did that statement go, by an anti-fascist in Germany about 1939? "When they came for the Jews I did not speak up because I was not a Jew, when they came for the communists I did not speak up because I was not a communist; when they came for me I didn't bother because when I looked around there was nobody left to support me' - something like that.

发布者'Human flesh hunt' - what a nice term.
I still think her speech went over the top, both about the wonders of the US and the air in kunming - I've certainly never 'felt sick' from merely breathing Kunming air - but it would be nice if people in China could roll a bit with the fact that Chinese themselves might be willing to criticize the country in a public, international forum, without being accused of betraying their homeland etc. etc. etc.
But hey! Let everybody talk, backtalk, whatever.

Yunnan primary school girls vying for trip to New York Fashion Week
发布者Oh hell look, I hope these kids have fun and even maybe become child models or something and help out their families, but if this being passed off as an effort by the overwhelmingly ridiculous, superfluous, flaky airhead fashion industry is supposed to represent giving useful economic opportunities to poor rural populations in Yunnan, I'm afraid I remain to be convinced.
