Best for what?
'Kunming is worse'...what are you talking about?
What's hilarious about this article? It's about what I'd expect, though I haven't witnessed the Chinese in Paris lately.
@Haali, I pretty much agree with you. However, if the woman is expected to take care of the house & kids, there's a practicality to it that empowers her somewhat in a situation and advantages the man (he doesn't have to worry about details he can't understand) where she cannot work outside the home (e.g., before modern times in China), so you can see how it became the major cultural practice.
@mockingbird So education means 'the process of learning'? How can you either have or not have that? What kind of family culture and values would you look for? Why do you think 'educated women' (those who are engaged in the process of learning...something..., right?) are 'more sensible' (by this term I assume you mean sensible in relation to ordinary daily living' or something, would that be it)?
Actually, I'd figured you were talking about people who've had a good deal of formal schooling, which can be (but is not necessarily) a real aid in trying to understand the behavior of people from elsewhere - although I think it's perhaps more important to have a we-can-work-it-out attitude, which I don't think comes from formal schooling.
It must be remembered that a foreigner in China is in a much better situation in terms of possibilities for learning about Chinese culture behavior etc. than a Chinese person had for learning about anywhere else and has rarely been out of the country. Now, I think 'ignorance' is as dodgy a term as 'education' - but how many foreigners here take advantage of their advantage and learn?
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.
