Forums > Living in Kunming > Recourse for problems with missionary colleagues?

@Neddy, since they are very much in the minority in China, they don't have much ability to make non-Christians feel uncomfortable. I'm not sure what 'succeed' means. I learned a lot in undergraduate university because there were so many different points of view to listen to. In university is a good place to stop being innocent.
@Magnifico: I believe your story, think this is probably more prevalent in many western and other countries than it is in China. Perhaps we don't fully understand, but think of what happens when one walks away from one's nationalistic upbringing, or perhaps accepts it all and joins the army.
In short, I don't think the solution of the problem is to ban influences on kids who are supposed to be learning to think for themselves, but is to allow more influences to thrive and be exposed to their intelligence, reason, and ability to make choices for themselves.

Best to carry your own cloth or other shopping bag and refuse the proffered plastic ones in which things are usually sold.

Although I'm pretty much against what such people do, I really don't think it's that important or that 'dangerous' to young minds etc., at least at university level. It's not like these people have some monopoly on what goes through students' heads. Nationalism everywhere is probably a more dangerous religion.

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.
