Neither the police nor the forum will 'stop this problem' here or anywhere else - 'Reality is simply not like that' - but it will limit it until reality can be changed, which will require dealing with the root of the problem. Perhaps we will.
the 10-year visa is what North Americans can get - pain in the butt but you get used to it when there's no alternative.
Still no central heating in the winter here, and I think the authorities might reconsider and decide that it's a good idea, now - but Kunming doesn't need air conditioning, better to ban that instead.
I don't have nights like that here, but you're right, turning off the AC in an expensive hotel is a cheap shot.
This is all about the petition, right?
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.
Yunnan appoints Hubei heavyweight as governor

发布者Gangsters, perhaps, but I'm not sure they're 'uneducated' - anybody know details on the education of such folks?.
