@Liumingke: Maybe you're right, that our opinions mean nothing, but that means you ARE suggesting that THEY do something, right?
So which team are you on? If we're all just sitting in the stands, we might as well not bother to speak at all - just sit around with our fingers crossed, cheer a whole lot on cue, then go fight each other in the streets.
Rather boring world - entertainment rules - and after all this political Progress, too!
Hope you enjoy the show.

@Liumingke: Now there's a thought - what do you suggest we do? Who the hell are we, anyway? I only know who I'm not.

Or do you want THEM to do something?

Many nations are run by Aholes, but I still don't think those in Washington will do it. The Canadian delegation for the Canadian prisoner in N. Korea indicates nothing.

Good article. Note also the lack of peace in Muslim areas near the Bangla Deshi border, the population of which has suffered considerable violence over the past 4-5 years or so. Hard to say that peace-building has been going on there.

Rocher's account of his travels, which took place during the final years of the Panthay Rebellion, also has plenty on the silver mines in the nearby area, where conflicts between Han and Hui took place over mining rights, etc., the mines themselves being one of the major reasons for the later building of the RR from Haiphong to Kunming and the establishment of the French in Mengzi and Yunnan in the first place.

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.
