@BillDan: meditation helps. I am not being either flippant or sarcastic.
@Complainers: complain all you want, just stop insulting people.
Much better to go down and see them in person.
Group drinking is extremely popular.
And I like the leetle kids, well, most of them most of the time, anyway.
And Chuihu, and the old Yunda campus.
And that there are plenty of small shops, and restaurants of all kinds everywhere, as well as plenty of streetfood stands.
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.
Kunming newspaper publishes child labor bombshell
发布者@ vicar: I agree, such companies ought to be shut down.
Kunming newspaper publishes child labor bombshell
发布者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.
Come join the Have a Heart fundraiser jubilee this Saturday!
发布者Congratulations, Colin, and all who contributed, for a job very well done - and it was fun!
Wenshan politician, shamed for denigrating Miao, issues apology
发布者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.
Wenshan politician, shamed for denigrating Miao, issues apology
发布者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.
