Forums > Study > KCEL a profit-making school

I've studied at KCEL and had no particular complaints, altho I studied at Keats later and thought it was a little more conscientious about teaching etc. Since I live here I had no need to deal with school-provided housing etc. KCEL was not dirty when I studied there (last time about 2010).

@mPrin: I don't know about mailing your passport to Forever Bright (Ever Bright?), but there have been other companies that have advertsied they could get you a renewal of your (present) M visa if you send them your passport 3 weeks or so before your present M visa expires, and I have a friend who did this and it worked. However, if your student visa is expiring I don't think this will help you.

Anyway, waiting in Hong Kong while the visa is renewed is the standard method - in former years it didn't necessitate sending the passport to one's home country, but only to Macao.

Try for an M visa through Forever Bright, a company in East Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, who are very good at arranging visas and know what they are doing - have been doing this for about 20 years. If they have to send your passport to your home country to get it, in which case it will take 5 days to a week. If there are other options they will know what they are.

@Haali: no pollution, you'll just be wandering around with your own drinking habits on your own, unless you want to conform reasonably to local drinking customs. You may not want to, but anyway you have the choice.

Voltaire, I've got a reference or two for the British in Simao, but my files are disorganized, can't do a search right now, but contact me if you're interested & I'll do it later.

Can't remember personally planting anything for a very long time. However, I'd imagine the cheap farmers have. I'm not sure the problem is their ignorance, but perhaps that of their leaders, but they're stuck for economic reasons and so have to follow orders. Anyway, it's not as if their are no good gardeners in China - seems it's a matter of making sure those who are are allowed to get into positions where their 'orders' will be the ones that make sense.

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.
