Forums > Food & Drink > No Smoking at Salvador's?

I think a smoke free Salvadors is a great idea. The good food and good coffee should keep people coming back regardless of whether or not they can smoke inside.

I am pretty sure that China does not recognize the International Drivers license..at least from the USA. There is a list on the back of the IDL that states which countries recognize it and China is not on there. THey may have changed the laws and it may be different in each province but all you had to have two years ago was a visa and be registered at you local police station. Let me know what you find out, I would be interested to know.

Forums > Living in Kunming > What's a decent wage for a driver?

Hey Cathryn,

When I was in Shanghai I paid my driver about 1500 / month. This was when I was just getting used to driving in China. Some drivers make a lot more though and some less. I am sure you can hire out per diem for much cheaper than that, but usually all expenses like room and food would be yours for longer trips. Really search carefully and make sure they know safety is your main concern. Good luck!

Forums > Food & Drink > On toilets and smoking

I just stumbled onto this post and find it quite funny. Apparently, some people on this post think not appreciating cancerous second hand smoke = culturally insensitive. I think in restaurants or bars people have come to accept smoke in China. However, if there were a non-smoking section I would definitely welcome the choice, at any establishment. What I especially do not like is when people light up in an elevator or at the gym, or in a place where it is clearly marked "no smoking". Just because " we are not in the west" or, "China is a developing country" does not mean cigarette smoke is any healthier over here then in any other country. Accepting differences is more than about second hand smoke. I know plenty of Chinese who don't smoke.
