@ alPage: Except when people are seriously impressed with fear, justified or not, which is not the present situation, I don't think it works all that well. Could do, tho - has certainly worked here & elsewhere. But I don't think serious fear is on the menu right now.
Sounds a little paranoid to me - more about making people that way than about catching any actual spies.
And what about domestic spies?
Peter, which of us have found which country where things are done according to (whose?) moral values (which are what?)? And what do Manila and Chomsky have to do with Trump's spouting about North Korea?
On Trump's election, anyway, we need to think about what we mean when we say 'democratically elected' - many political systems claim to be 'democratic', including that of the People's Democratic Republic of Korea.
Sounds like maybe they shot a dangerous animal - doubt if the school would go back to normal if it were a person.
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.
Come join the Have a Heart fundraiser jubilee this Saturday!

Haigeng, Kunming's popular lakefront promenade, to close for six months
发布者I hope the largest chunk of this money will go to the necessary maintenance of the damn and to the filtration system, etc. - spending a lot of money on making things pretty for tourists is such a roundabout way to produce, supposedly through all them wonnerful trickle-down effects, a more reasonable wealth distribution, that it never really happens. And, as Kunming adds its zillionth car to the roads in order to ameliorate the desperate lives of the middle & upper classes, it is the 25% of the Yunnan population who live below the official poverty level that should be the target of spending efforts.
Old Kunming apartment complexes looking to build new elevators
发布者@ Geogramatt: I have not heard that all the old walkups are going to be torn down - I certainly hope not. But maybe you have some information that I don't have?
