"4 hour wait, #46th in line.."

I'd argue that's quality care. The longer the wait, the more meticulous doctors are with their patients.

Docs w/ high patient demands are usually reserved for specialized head physicians (主任) of a department. Sought after chiefs could amass well over 100 per afternoon.

Little wait time = rushed, or inexperienced doctors with low rep. few want to see.

Yet it's interesting CNN survives the long winter despite being most critical and vocal in protest coverage.

Some municipalities have stricter VPN regulations than others. Perhaps GoKunming can enlighten us on VPN regulations here in Yunnan.

According to Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau's website,

"If an individual accesses international network privately or via 'illegal channels,' or offers related services without authorization, they could be fined up to 15,000 yuan."

To the dismay of our British friends, The Guardian is now banished beyond the northern walls of the Seven Kingdoms.

The Washington Post is also added to the list of casualties.

Not an ad, nor promotion.

My post since deleted contained download links to legit unlocked software catering to OP's purposes.

This website probably do not endorse posting download links of free pirated software. No grievances held. The original price for that point of sale app costs a steep USD199. Supporting the app developer is fine with me.

Best of luck to entrepreneurs such as vikalina with business aspirations in Yunnan. May your catering business flourish.

Sure, i'll humor the one who habitually engages in straw man arguments.

This time, inferring that I am painting Igor as a crafty chef trying to fool Chinese people. The reflection in your mirror is the actual culprit throwing ad hominem stones inside a glass cafe. One am I am actively bumping out of goodwill for Igor.

Yes, it is rather pedantic of you to digress and misconstrue my point repeatedly.

First by informing us the French, or half-Sicilian, chef's superb Chinese proficiency as if I was implying otherwise. This subtle name-dropping 411 is another red herring from my argument that Chinese language use is apropos for the Chinese market as locals may not understand French, such my croissant example.

Second, you writing out the more common Chinese term 牛角面包 as an opportunity to boost your own personal ego, while generalizing that everyone knows it as a side swipe to the many expats who may not, in an effort to Cloud my point. But more strategically, to set up your go-to grammar police mode... which is, to dwell on spelling mistakes in not seeing forest for the trees. In your case, actively cutting down saplings in a Brazilian forest fire. Hypocrisy for someone who tells others to find better use of their time.

herenow, you are a bit late to the French sourdough party.

Straw man cloudy is clinging on to erroneous assertions.

But to piggyback off his point, the bulk of Igor's patrons are Chinese. They probably don't understand the word "croissant" unless you label it as 法国羊角面包. Same with the Chinese equivalent name for pain campagnard. We are in Kunming after all. It wouldn't be unreasonable to converse in the local language, as you would say in the outskirts of Paris.

Presenting delicacies with all their international glory, be it slapping a French pastry name, sticking a mini French flag on the bread, or being greeted by an accented, foreign face... may justify the price of an "imported" product or service in the eyes of the typical Chinese consumers.

I get that pricey French cuisine restaurants sporting all French menus come with the territory. The elegant aura of French authenticity in dinning experience... which to my point, is added to the final bill.
