I think all Chinese students, most of whom speak some form of Chinese as their native language, take classes and study Chinese language in school, should be easy to find one.
Somebody explain to me about tonight's Wine & Pizza special beginning at midnight (see events calendar).
"MOST people in Africa" deal with Chinese? I rather doubt it, despite recent increase of the presence of Chinese in quite a few African countries..
I remember the smell of a large industrial plant of some sort. However, the place had importance as a major stop on the French RR completed in 1910. I looked around RR yards and housing near the RR for something of interest but didn't really find it. This was about 2005 or 6.
I understand the google wars, but it strikes me as ridiculous that no English-language Kunming map can be provided for an English-language website in Kunming. They want tourists or don't they? Would be nice if gokunming could find such. Or do the Chinese authorities WANT English-speaking foreigners in China to jump their censorship and use vpns?
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.

Posted by@ vicar: I agree, such companies ought to be shut down.
Kunming newspaper publishes child labor bombshell
Posted byGood to see an instance of journalists apparently doing what journalists should be doing as the income gap continues to widen, as reflected in the value of stock portfolios and owners' incomes, and as labor continues to be exploited.
Come join the Have a Heart fundraiser jubilee this Saturday!

Wenshan politician, shamed for denigrating Miao, issues apology
Posted byOops, the guy is Yi - okay, but that doesn't indicate Judeo-Christian influence either, only (basically Han-Chinese) ideas of modernity and civilizatiion. And note that witchcraft was suspected of having been practiced by other ethnic groups as well (e.g., certain Taiwan aboriginal groups), as well as by Han practitioners.
In short, ideas about witchcraft can be found all over the world, and are hardly all traceable to the influence of Abrahamic religiion.
Wenshan politician, shamed for denigrating Miao, issues apology
Posted bySorry, what I mean is that the Miao (Hmong) were indeed seen as primitive, but their witchcraft was still dangerous and was feared.
Anyway, although one may speculate, there is no indication that this guy has been influenced by Judeo-Christian ideas on the subject of witchcraft, and even if he has it is likely to be based on older Han-cultural beliefs and attitudes on non-Han peoples.
