I agree with Haali's last comment. I also agree with Liumingke's last one, but it's so general I'm not really sure what he's getting at.
DaWei, there are plenty of nice women everywhere, but if you're looking for some kind of perfect individual you won't find her anywhere.

Yeah, the hep vaccine, good idea. I don't need it because I've had hep (not in China), and it's a lingering lousy experience, though pretty easily controlled & rarely fatal (well, hep A anyway - depressive rather than scary) IF you do the necessary, which is largely a matter of good sense & is easy to understand - no rocket science involved - you're just a semi-functioning mess for months while you lie around not having fun while your liver is growing back - which it does. Countless numbers of lives & livers have doubtless been saved over the centuries by the Chinese habit of drinking tea &/or boiled water.
Xiefei says it's widespread here and I don't disagree, though it's not as common as in South Asia, where it seems half the population has it at one time or another.
Japanese Encephalitis however, which is probably less likely here than being murdered in the US, is a real horror show, but don't worry about it.

Social cooperation is also hard-wired into the individuals of an innately social species such as ourselves, without which the individuals of our species would not have survived to pass on any genes..Rouseau's 'noble savage' never existed, both he and Hobbes were wrong.

There are economic issues concerning education in China for very poor communities, which obviously need a bigger share of the economic pie than they are getting. Yet China's 'socialist market economy' is increasing the overall level of economic resources within China.
What's wrong with this picture?

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.
