Landlords! Who really thinks it's a good idea to have people have incomes created from simple ownership? Real estate is only a very obvious example.

Who is Justin Bieber, anyway? I honestly don't know - another bs pop personality, I'm sure - and if you are as uninterested in the subject as I am - it's not like I couldn't find out in 30 seconds - I will understand if nobody bothers to answer.
@Magnifico, of course you're right with both posts, but hey, it's everywhere, and I'd rather sift garbage without help from the state.
@HFCampo: Friend of mine, who knows these things, tells me only about 100 years ago or slightly before, even passports were rarely necessary for visiting other countries. I've seen occasional examples indicating that was indeed the case.
As for the 1% - why, yes sir, of course, whatever you want, 3 bags full.
@HFCampo: yeah, a fair comment, done in different ways in different places. On the other hand, there's no going back to the Old World Order, which is crashing around us as we speak.
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.
Hiking from Dali to Lijiang Walk for Hearts fundraiser
发布者Correction: above should read "NOTE: Another fundraiser...Kunming, November...", not "Not another fundraiser...", I'm an impatient typist.
Hiking from Dali to Lijiang Walk for Hearts fundraiser
发布者Done. Could have used more participants and contributions, but I think it should be chalked up as a success. Not another fundraiser for this organization scheduled for Kunming in November, I think - believe it will be oriented towards (mostly foreign) live music fans and drinkers.
Divine Prototypes: The natural terraces of Baishuitai
发布者Similar formations in Sichuan at either Huanglang or Huanglong (2 different places, and I can't remember which is which), with the difference that those are not so white, but have some color to them.

发布者Anybody coming with us should contact Robert Detrano through the links in the article above. We are few and we should be more. Send money anyway.
Sacred forests of the Dai people: Last refuges of biodiversity
发布者Third try right: ok, actually Yi's book is mostly about the people in the hills rather than the Dai, but the whole situation in Banna involves a lot of practices that were ecologically sensible until modern times, and the issue of the rubber plantations is dealt with.
