Forums > Study > PhD Programs in northern Kunming?

Acquiring wealth is not a good reason for getting a PhD anyway, and in Religious Studies and many other fields it is a particularly absurd one.

@redjon: I don't know of anywhere in Kunming that I would describe as not being 'foreigner friendly'. And there are lots of bars where 'foreigners' (i.e., westerners) go other than O'Reilly's (which is okay - lots of sports coverage), and other restaurants than Wicker Basket (which is indeed a good place to buy bread, and they have a nice salad bar).

Forums > Living in Kunming > china mobile and my vpn troubles

Can't get ExpressVPN to work - when I try to load it, my server cuts off before it can load.

Saw an article on Xinjiang, from Al Jazeera, on yahoo news - wanted to comment, couldn't; tried to load ExpressVPN, couldn't; shut down computer, restarted without VPN, looked for article on Yahoo news - it was no longer there.
In the long run this sort of petty batshit controlfreakery will not work - twinky electronics will win the day. Meanwhile, I've got better things to do than jump through the twinky electronic hoops that are set for me.

@JanJal: OK, but the important thing here is to give the kids of the poor an even break, which is hard to do when the kids of the rich have...(anybody can complete this sentence).
Not so different from the global situation, either as a whole or when cut up nationally..

I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.
