I'd suggest the bad days will begin on Friday, and get worse over the following 3 days.

Well now, seems the Camel is running their regular Tuesday ad for jam night, but I rather suspect that's just because somebody forgot to cancel it.
Thanks for the warning, Peter, but I'm pretty sure we will be able to handle this tremendous catastrophe. Hasn't happened yet, as I'm presently using my VPN. But yeah, limiting communications is a negative, of course, though I just might be able to hobble along, traumatized, without facebook. I seriously doubt the party-state is likely to cut off my communications with my bank, or disallow making flight reservations.
@ AlPage: nope, it's gone for good - this from Deng Ling herself.
Lotta local expat and local musical history associated with this bar, and with Deng Ling, the entrepreneurial owner, over the past 20 years. I think I can speak for many in wishing her well.
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.
Land mines and coffee in Wenshan
Posted byWasn't the local people who put these mines there, those who did put them there are responsible for getting rid of them. Why don't they?

New underwater archeological discoveries made at Fuxian
Posted byAgreed. Brings up the question of when/what/where is/was 'China'. Or, for that matter, Paraguay, France, or the USA.

Posted byYunnan's history, and that of many parts of China, should be seen for what it is and better understood. Tracing everything back to the Jade Emperor is a mistake and doesn't begin to present the complexity.
