This policy is racist and this is discrimination. Could a restaurant in New York offer a lower rate to whites? NO. Could a bus company in the UK advertise cheaper prices for Asians? NO. Why? Because such practices would be illeagal on the grounds that they are racist and discriminatory. SIMPLE.
Maybe overweight people should be charged more to fly as they take up more room and consume more food than the average customer not to mention the extra fuel that's needed to get them to their destination. How about that? Those flying with children could also pay extra because the noise from their little angels often spoils the flight for other passengers.
we can all come up with 'reasons' for unfair policies but that doesn't change the fact that they are unfair. Likewise, the fact that discrimination occurs elsewhere doesn't make it acceptable does it?
@Tom69 - yes, it's your choice and any reasonable person would support you in that respect at the very least.

unless they've changed the service, you can pay on delivery or pay on collection from their office (the nearest one is just of YiErYi street i think). they have a number of offices in kunming.

i'd like to make it clear that the above words (and those in my previous post) were not my own and offer my sincere apologies to anyone who may have been led to believe otherwise. i assure you that this was completely unintentional.
So they can now beat policemen along with the poor and anyone not 'connected'. Strange then that they appear frightened to challenge the relatively affluent illegal sellers on Wenhua Xiang. Maybe they're afraid that they might beat the son or daughter of Li Gang...
i went up to the cemetery last week but failed to find the way over to Jiaoye Park (and on to the bamboo temple). any advice? nice ride anyway though...
a lovely place to stay with great views of Yulong xueshan (JadeDragon snow mountain) from the roof! Beautifully decorated and hosts that make you feel like family. A million miles better than most other places locally. I can't recommend this place enough.
i thought i'd give this place another try as my usual place was closed today. even though there is now more choice, i was not impressed by the menu. they do have an apparently good range of coffees for up to 80 kuai but even a basic latte is Y26 now. the drinks were OK but nothing special and certainly not worth the money. the place looked somehow cleaner too and was certainly busier! why have so many of the cafes in this area decided that it's fine to raise their prices by so much (in some cases almost double)? i doubt i'll be going back. the 2 stars are because it was just OK and they've obviously made some effort.
not a bad selection of stuff and some of the staff obviously know their way around a bike. however, the 'special' prices for foreigners and the fact that some of the staff will use a big hammer to fix anything keeps me from going back. you could do better.
I won't go there again. The yoghurt is tasty and the curries are usually ok (they seem to vary in quality depending on the day and time). What really annoys me is the fact that they can't comprehend that I order dishes to eat TOGETHER... if my curry arrives 30 minutes after all the other dishes it's not really acceptable. Then again, neither is the 1 hour wait for the rest of the food or the incorrect dishes being sent. By the way, why can't I sit on the 3rd floor until both of the other floors are packed full? Has it never occurred to them that I might want a quiet meal and, after all, I am paying for it!
