I've been in my flat (renting) for over ten years, was built about 1993 - solid enough but a bit ratty, but a lot of people in the compound seem to have fixed up their flats, glassed in their small balconies, improved kitchens etc., and they look okay. Stairwells are rather grotty. Value of these properties has increased a great deal since I moved in, but I don't know about the future.
As the polar ice caps break up and various glaciers cleave off into the sea they will have icebergs along the China coast to take care of it.
Maybe too many people got off on that movie.
Can't one use plastic in India these days? Or perhaps not on a Chinese bank?
I can only tell you that I had a number of interesting evenings with a guy who formerly ran the Shane school in Yuxi - I've had a lot of experience teaching English and the guy I was talking to sounded as if he really knew what he was talking about, as far as teaching is concerned, though we didn't necessarily agree about everything.
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.
Thousands displaced, rail service halted by Yunnan mudslides
发布者The above trip through Miandian was made yesterday - was raining again when I left Jianshui early this morning.
Thousands displaced, rail service halted by Yunnan mudslides
发布者I have just returned from a brief trip to Jianshui and rode through about 1&1/2 hours of Miandian Township of Jianshui County. Steep hillsides, and from the road I saw the aftereffects of 3 landslides - nothing quite as dramatic as what is described here and I saw no slides which had fallen on habitations or villages, but if there had been downslope villages or houses they would have been in serious trouble.
Snapshot: Spending a day in Achang country
发布者Nice photos. Not quite clear what is meant by "of Burmese descent" - migrated into Yunnan from what is now Burma at some point? Or members of a cultural group that has been in place, on both sides of the modern border, since before the border was established?

No end in sight for Xuefu Lu traffic upheaval
发布者It'll likely be a real mess for years, as has been, and still is, the case with Renminnanlu.
