@BillDan: meditation helps. I am not being either flippant or sarcastic.
@Complainers: complain all you want, just stop insulting people.
Much better to go down and see them in person.
Group drinking is extremely popular.
And I like the leetle kids, well, most of them most of the time, anyway.
And Chuihu, and the old Yunda campus.
And that there are plenty of small shops, and restaurants of all kinds everywhere, as well as plenty of streetfood stands.

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.

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.
