Never seen this happen anywhere, though it must occasionally happen. I'd guess it's a combination of a guy in electronic twinkyland and driver error.
I'm not sure 'most' English teachers work 'here' (I assume you mean China, not Kunming; & as opposed to where?) because of the salary - perhaps. I know a fair number of people who are teaching English in Kunming because they like living here.
I think we all pretty much agreed that Boyden's novel, THREE DAY ROAD, was one hell of a good one.
@Haali: Such a training school must feed off rather elite parents, no? Requires better and better-qualified teachers? I've taught such students in other places, always wondered if the privileges provided them were making things better or worse, all around. Much of a mixed bag, I suppose.
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.
