Forums > Living in Kunming > Do NOT marry a Chinese woman

Better than sucking up everything in the first article is simply a close, unblinkered look at the particular potential spouse - something both men & women have difficulty pulling off in cultures that glorify 'romantic love'. Better, perhaps, just to have the romantic love.
I hear the movie is good.

They're here because now that we have 'market socialism', people who work very hard are rewarded and get to have cars that are more expensive than other people's lives - just like with capitalism!

That thing about governments building houses for 'backward' people without sensible discussions with them first has led to the construction of houses that nobody wants to live in in other places, under different governments, too.
I agree with the final sentence.

@Peter: Why in hell do you have to go speculating that this young woman introduced gutter oil, polluted Beijing air and that her grandfather invited the Japanese? Could it possibly be that you just enjoy insulting anybody and anything Chinese?

You offend everybody, while simultaneously wasting their time.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.

As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.

Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.

Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
