@Redjon: Maybe so, but just stating this doesn't explain it.
@Peter: No.

@Hammer: Salaries for foreigners - as far as English teaching goes, people make a lot more than they did in 2001. I have a friend who has been teaching English in universities for 20 years in China - in Kunming 10 years ago he was making Y3000 a month, now making Y6000 a month. Plus free housing.
Away from university campuses, foreigners are able to charge a LOT more for teaching in other institutions (largely private) and for private individuals now than, say, 10 years ago.
Housing: 3-5 k may well be 'normal' for what you're talking about, but there are certainly plenty of cheaper places to rent.
Largely, I think this is driven by the same islamist terrorism that is killing much larger numbers of people in Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan and other places. What do you think?
I don't think that can be done without the cancellation of your 10-year visa for a one-month visa.
I think 6 months in advance is the most common arrangement - that's always been the case for me.
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.

发布者@ Lemon: Yeah, there is a tendency to imagine that once we're all in agreement and the plans have been made, the job has been done.

发布者Hey, man, you go take a look at the Pamirs and you'll see what the problem is!

发布者No train leaving Kunming will get to Pakistan on the Khunjerab Railway for a number of years, as it has not been built yet. Note presence of Pamir Mts., through which the present highway runs.
