Would like to see more musicians and songwriters write and perform songs to take the piss out of the clown in the White House, and songs, perhaps less humorous, suggesting where he came from, how he got to where he is, and why - I think the roots are deep.
Unfortunately, too many Americans act as if he speaks for them - frightening, since so much information is available to them, if they'd only fight thru the usual media-conditioning bs they live in, and they don't have enough confidence in their own brains to bother to figure it out.
Many North Koreans may think Kim speaks for them, but it's the American state that has the scary weapons, by the thousands.
Look for sanity elsewhere. In Beijing, perhaps.
Note scary nutcase Trump, and whoever he speaks for, at the UN on North Korea.
Take a bus to Jinghong BEFORE the first day of the holiday, spend a night, then bus into northern Laos, come back to China after the holiday.
Although I rather doubt that you'll get much response from anyone, if you're in a waiting room I suggest you first report the situation to the hospital administrator, who probably knows about it but who just might do something if enough people actually complain.
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.
'Kunming Foreigner Street' tenants speak out
发布者I don't know any of the local residents on Wenhuaxiang, but I'd be very surprised if they like the current situation.
'Kunming Foreigner Street' tenants speak out
发布者Interesting to read this & compare with the mess the street is now. The zoning laws must be goofy, or avoided for a price, if indeed they exist at all.

Climate change goals could cost China 41 trillion yuan
发布者Excellent! Other nations should follow suite (note that US citizens still produce more greenhouse gases, per capita, than do Chinese citizens). Governments of poorer countries are going to need economic help from the richer ones to do likewise if they are not to further damage the situations and living conditions under which the people that they control live.
