Friend of mine just had osteopathic? surgery on his knee (that's osteopathic, innit?) at Kunming No. 2 Hospital - he's quite satisfied with the results. One or all of the doctors he consulted and/or were involved in the surgery spoke fair English, and at least one of them had done medical studies overseas.
@ Dazzer: By 'this guy' I meant David Sneddon - he was a local bigwig? How was that? Or am I still confused?
I get the point, but there's also the problem that people don't always flush public toilets at all, and then leave the spigot open after they wash their hands.
Social consciousness and social conscience could be better - devil's often in the details.
Yes, plausible, Dazzer. But I didn't understand all of your post - did you actually see this guy at a couple of dinners? Did anyone meet him when he was in Yunnan?
Both universities have 2 campuses, one in the main city area and one in Chenggong.
No results found.
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.
Too bourgeois.
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.
Ain't no flies on Salvador's.
