Most of Yunnan is pretty nice, but my top 3 complaints are:
1. racism - racism is very bad, unless you have white skin... but if the economy tanks don't expect that to last.
2. lack of water
3. drug abuse - chain smokers everywhere, and of course please destroy your liver at every meeting/event possible...
The speech recognition for Chinese isn't very good. Even on the highest setting it's quite easy to say gibberish and let you pass. If you're buying it only for that then look for something else.
What does this have to do with China? The girl learned a hard lesson that unfortunately many have learned in every country. Some people are just plain irresponsible. The situation is very messy, and you can't blame their family and friend's for that.
What do you want the school/police/society to do? Force him to pay for an abortion? Force him to be her boyfriend? Force him to financially support her? Unless they were married I don't see that happening.
I suppose if you wanted to make a big deal about it, and feed off xenophobia in China you could contact the news and immigration department.....
When I went there a year or so ago the locals didn't seem too happy about the people managing the tourism. Maybe the gate was moved farther away to make it more difficult for the locals to sneak people in?
Though this practice of hiking fees, and building tourist traps has been quite common for a quite a while now... so can't say I'm surprised.
The visa is actually relatively cheap. Last time I checked a 1 year visa was about 800 RMB. Most schools charge about 3,000 to 4,000 RMB per semester. So one year of classes plus visa will cost about 6,800 to 8,800 RMB.
Most schools require about 10 hours of classes each week.
No results found.
Cheese tasted great. Much better than other pizza joints.
Excellent salad bar. Hamburgers are usually ok. The fancier dishes were a little lacking.
Giving it a 4 stars for the salad bar. If you were going there for "fine dining" then probably best to go somewhere else.
The store also has some nice imported food(though obviously Metro is cheaper for some things). The freshly baked goods are nice too.
Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.
Not bad. Pretty much what you would expect, but expensive for China.
Expensive, but decent bread. Other places are better, but not bad if you're in a hurry.
Starbucks to market Yunnan coffee in China outlets
Posted byHuh? How is Yunnan distinctive from rural areas in any other country with a centrally controlled economic system(which is pretty much any "modern and developed" country today)? How is The Brother's Jiang expanding everywhere in Yunnan different from Starbucks trying to expand in Yunnan?
Do you think Iowa has lost its distinctness because of all the Mexican and Chinese restaurants that have opened up? Oh wait, even though they almost all serve the same food, and their suppliers are almost all the same... it's so much better because they all have a different name... cripes, it's just marketing.
You can go to any city in Yunnan and you will see the same products being sold in all of them. What does it matter if the name of the store is in Chinese or in English? Does this somehow prevent you from speaking to the people who work there? Does it stop you from taking your time? It's just a marketing symbol, get over it.
