Forums > Living in Kunming > Heads Up - Trump-NKorea

To the citizens of Cincinnati, or wherever this paranoia is growing (outside of South Korea, anyway): Perhaps we should concentrate on what's going on in terms of warfare - as well as what seems to be the acceptable level of disease, starvation and the production of refugees in the tens of millions - rather than on speculations about what might happen, if the N Korean government is really 'capable of anything'. But they're not: the capabilities that are a threat are already being exercised elsewhere by other parties, and as for nukes, I really doubt that the peace of the world is seriously challenged by the North Korean state, weird & unpleasant as it is.
Time to get priorities straight - we all know where most of the nukes are - and who is willing to use them, if you are worried about 'capabilities'.

The sad thing is that a lot of Americans apparently seem to think that North Korea is a danger to them. They expect what, bombs over Cincinnati?

Trump is wacko.

Wouldn't be a bad idea for people to use their own brains and start not screwing up the planet, rather than continuing to do so until they are ordered not to and then complaining about the source of authority.

The amazing thing is the degrees to which some tourists go in causing trouble over the smallest and most minor things. A commodity -ownership mentality ("I bought my visit to these exotic and weird people and I have a right to do whatever I want to with them").

I do indeed believe in the need to prevent the biting and slapping of tourguides, even though they are major players in the whole commercialized circus, which spreads its tents wherever there are packages to be sold and money to be made.

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.

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.
