Forums > Living in Kunming > US Citizens: voting help and dem community

@Michael: theoretically possible, I guess, but somehow I doubt it - Republicrats and Libertarians are not really threats to the System. Anyway, they can read gokunming from Washington, tho I seriously doubt if it's very high priority.

Interesting, Geezer, guess Alex & I are both wrong, seems people in the military are a bit fed up too. Seems there should be a tally of numbers of votes from overseas for Democrats and Republicans, though, as there is for each state, county and town, but there may not be. At any rate, the secret ballot doesn't come into it.

@Alex: Good point, occurred to me, when you figure in the military, who are obviously many, sent overseas by Democratic and Republican administrations alike, and often living with less contact with ordinary foreign civilian expats and local civilians. I'll bet a high percentage of them vote, too. But they aren't a factor in Kunming.
Doubtless there are statistics somewhere.

@Alex: The buyer is betting on the future market price, no? On a small or limited scale this might not be so important, but futures trading is massive, isn't it? Don't tails sometimes wag dogs?

@bluppfisk: Thanks, that's about what I thought. Seems to involve a lot of gambling that intimately affects the lives of those who aren't interested in, or who are economically prevented from, playing such games. I think it pisses people off, especially when they are forced to lose.

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.
