@Magnifico: thoughts may be there for a reason, but it's not necessarily always a good one. You might want them to go away so that you can do something else with your mind.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Freedom, western and Chinese parents

What the reason is that makes cultures different from each other, including China and all the countries that are lumped together as 'western', is to be derived from long studies of history and culture. The question is okay, but the answers are many.

Also, it's probably a great mistake to assume that Chinese culture is one thing and that 'western' culture is another - I know Americans who imagine that the USA has a single culture and that the other culture in the world is 'foreign culture'.

If you can ask this question in such a simple way, it probably indicates that you haven't done your homework - after doing your homework you'll realize what's wrong with the question.

@@laotou. Uneducated masses of the poor know better than many of the rest of us that many who are not poor don't particularly care about them, so they may not see the point of caring about animals in zoos. A mistake perhaps, but an understandable one. As for the rest of us, self-congratulate that it's the poor farmers who enslave & kill the animals we eat.
Note: I love to eat good steak.

Good to see an instance of journalists apparently doing what journalists should be doing as the income gap continues to widen, as reflected in the value of stock portfolios and owners' incomes, and as labor continues to be exploited.

Oops, the guy is Yi - okay, but that doesn't indicate Judeo-Christian influence either, only (basically Han-Chinese) ideas of modernity and civilizatiion. And note that witchcraft was suspected of having been practiced by other ethnic groups as well (e.g., certain Taiwan aboriginal groups), as well as by Han practitioners.
In short, ideas about witchcraft can be found all over the world, and are hardly all traceable to the influence of Abrahamic religiion.

Sorry, what I mean is that the Miao (Hmong) were indeed seen as primitive, but their witchcraft was still dangerous and was feared.
Anyway, although one may speculate, there is no indication that this guy has been influenced by Judeo-Christian ideas on the subject of witchcraft, and even if he has it is likely to be based on older Han-cultural beliefs and attitudes on non-Han peoples.

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.
