@ Napoleon: You don't think he'll be executed?
Name of the street mentioned above in pinying is Huanchengxilu, not Huangchengxilu.
There's one on Xiyuanbeilu just south of the bridge over the RR tracks, on the west side of the street. Another on Jiaolinlu just before the T-junction with Huangchengxilu, on the south side of the street.
Hope you will not vote for either of the candidates proposed by the 2 parties which dominate Washington, the US and much of the world, as the politico-economic system that has produced them is obviously broken and dangerous. But what other candidate names will appear on the ballot for expats? If none, be creative.
Dudeson & Napoleon, why don't you guys just start your own thread about yourselves?
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.
Cycling From Kunming To The Vietnam Border - Part One
发布者Wifi available in many hotels in cities and larger town in Yunnan. If you say you need wifi, I'll believe you - but why?
Friction of terrain: Cycling through Zomia (part II)
发布者Lending massive amounts of money to countries for projects they can't afford is a widely practiced way in which to control them.
Friction of terrain: Cycling through Zomia (part I)
发布者Roughly, yes. He offers a very good argument for his thesis, but I don't think he'd insist that it represents the only historical socio-cultural process that has been in operation.
The idea: stay in place and grow rice and be taxed, or run for it. Different strokes.
Friction of terrain: Cycling through Zomia (part I)
发布者Scott's central theses - that centralized states are about dominating populations, that taxing rice farmers is a good way to do it, and that a lot of people could probably see through the trick and therefore ran to the hills to plant potatoes or whatever - make sense to me, in Myanmar or elsewhere.
Friction of terrain: Cycling through Zomia (part I)
发布者Doubtless a good trip. There are a lot of foreign bicyclists in Laos. The James C. Scott book is worth a serious read.
