Forums > Living in Kunming > Why do miserable foreigners remain in China?

My 2 cents' worth: I agree entirely with the gist of mmkunming's original post. As for occasional venting, one may expect that without condemning it, but when it seems to be a near-obsession with someone and involves gross overgeneralizations of 1.6 billion people it merely shows lack of the ability to adjust, prejudice, stereotyping and ignorance, and is only interesting for those who are into the characteristics of foreigners, mostly Westerners, abroad - otherwise it is simply uninteresting and annoying. I'd much rather be overcharged by a taxi driver, in China or anywhere else, than to constantly hear people bitching.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Might need a new visa

I got an F visa last April, expiring soon; seems it should now be an M visa. Can I still get one in Hong Kong or am I supposed to fly back to my home country?

Social cooperation is also hard-wired into the individuals of an innately social species such as ourselves, without which the individuals of our species would not have survived to pass on any genes..Rouseau's 'noble savage' never existed, both he and Hobbes were wrong.

There are economic issues concerning education in China for very poor communities, which obviously need a bigger share of the economic pie than they are getting. Yet China's 'socialist market economy' is increasing the overall level of economic resources within China.
What's wrong with this picture?

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.
