Forums > Living in Kunming > Advice on working as a tour guide for Spanish ppl It's irrelevant what the school says, they are not the authority on whether you can work or not, whether it is on holiday or in school time.
You didn't have a work visa, so from official point of view you were never employed and the agency owes you nothing, no matter what work you do or don't do for them.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Technition needed In such "wipe clean and start over" scenario, it usually happens so that after it is wiped and started over, there are questions about where my files are and why I cannot login to FB or access my email anymore.
So whatever you do, first make sure that all your personal/work files and passwords possibly stored in browser are copied or otherwise moved to some other place than the computer.
This would of course be smart thing to do periodically anyway, but especially in such case as yours.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Technition needed If you can provide some more information about your PC (like what operating system and version) and the problems you are observing, someone here could have more motivation to have a look at it.
Forums > Food & Drink > Kebab craving! Kebab! In Finland (pretty sure Sweden too), kebab is almost exclusively doner kebab, and associated with small restaurants run by migrants of Middle-Eastern and Russian origin.
99% time these establishments also serve pizza and falafel (vegetarian dish).
Besides feeding late night party-goers, they are also popular lunch destinations because they often have lunch offers starting at 5 EUR per meal.

Letter from the editor: Kunming community spirit in times of Corona
Posted by"support the website by making an account, asking questions in the forum, leaving reviews and using the classifieds section to find a job, sell your stuff or rent an apartment."
This (or rather what is not included in that list of to-dos) sums the criticism that I personally have toward the whole ordeal, and how GoKunming (out of no choice I understand) had to respond to it with rest of the nation.
.
Ask questions and increase revenue, but feel free to avoid discussing and, heaven forbid, debating anything.
Editorial: Kunming 2020 biological diversity conference should be based on Paris Agreement
Posted byWouldn't you say a new kind of virus adds to biodiversity though? Also in relation to biodiversity, I suppose there is some poetic justice in the virus killing humans.

Posted byI'm not a big fan of croissants anyway, and donuts I have not found in either of the establishments you mentioned.
@Dolphin: "savouring the croissant helps to cultivate appreciation. ie appreciating simple things rather than always feeling discontent that you don't have enough"
Perhaps, but it equally helps to cultivate ignorance of all the labor that has been put into creating that experience for you. At least I would allow you to feel discontent on behalf all the people who don't have enough, whether they had part in creating the croissant or not.
I't shouldn't anymore be about what you have or don't have, but what the other 7.7 billion (minus 1) people have or don't have. That's where the musings of Buddha (as quoted above) go wrong in this day and age.

Posted byThere perhaps was a time, when embracing reality same way you would savour the croissant, could have been beneficial to achieving an enlightened state of mind.
But today, many would call such view on life quite the opposite of enlightened - it could be called ignorance or covering your eyes from all that is wrong. Perhaps that's suitable in Chinese context.
There, I connected the croissant to politics.
