Danmairen, whenever there is a post involving Religion, I feel like writing something. But you are always faster and write exactly what I am thinking. Thanks for that :-)

In biology class I want Kids to learn about science and not about some religious believe system. I am so sick of listening to people who want to make me believe in creationism. Thats the beauty about science, there is nothing to believe in about, just facts.

Math is the same, and most religious people get it. 2 apples and 2 apples are 4 apples. Easy. Does anybody want to make believe us 2 apples and 2 apples are 3 apples? No.

Creationism is a slap in the face of all scientists, who work their whole life to find answers to questions. It took hundreds of years and many scientists, to find some of those answers. I am thankful to all of them.

Personally, everybody should believe in whatever he wants to. But a personal believe system is a personal thing and has nothing to do with school education at all. Kids schould learn about the existence of religion and its history and about ethics. But a chapel in a school kids have to go to? Teachers who need to have a specific believe system?
A teacher should be able to explain why 2 and 2 apples are 4. What does it matter what he is thinking of God, Allah, Mohammed, Buddha, Jesus, Thor, Zeus etc.? All he has to be good at is in explaining kids science.

Sometimes I wonder. Especially Christians have that argument, "we" might be afraid of them. Seahorse wrote: "The hypocrisy of non-religious, atheists, and pagans astound me. They get all bent out of shape if opposing views are being taught, but they could care less if their views are being taught. Why do you care if the opposing views are being taught in a small international school where parents choose and pay to send their children?"

Actually I think it is vice versa. Most so called "non believers" care for a good school education. We do not want "our views" beeing taught. I have never heard of any school having a No religion class. Any why care about a small international school in Kunming? Because I think every child schould have a good school education based on science and not on believes. Especially if their parents have to pay for that school.
Fortunately I do not have any kids. But for the day I might have one, I hope for a "normal" international school in Kunming, where expats can send their kids to.

I tried the food recently and it was average. Not more, not less. No place where I would go for food anyway.

It is a Game Cafe and for the games the place is nice. But the drink selection is poor, I agree with Master Shake.
I love playing board games but the only reason why I don't go there more often are the drinks. If I play board games with friends, I prefer having a good glass of wine and some simple snacks. If they would have some (or maybe just one) good wine I might go back.

We went there last week and did now know what to expect.

We ended up having a great evening. We were the only people there and they stayed open just for us.

We could mix out own Gin Tonics because the staff did not know how to do it.

I will absolutely go back there, especially in the evening with a nice group of friends.
And I think they did a nice job on this course. I really liked it.

On a sunny afternoon we decided to give The Silver Spoon another try, even though we were very disappointed the last time we went there.
Unfortunatelly nothing changed for the better.
The mozarella sticks we ordered were still frozen in the middle.
A chicken sandwich we ordered was done with very old chicken breast. looked like they prepared it a longer while ago and it was sitting somewhere and dried out. The outside was so dry, it was almost impossible to chew it.
But the burger was worse. We ordered a Bacon Blue Cheese Burger. It came without Blue Cheese and the burger was hard like a brick stone. Even with a knife and fork it was impossible to cut it.

That was not fresh meat (also they write on the menu the meat comes from New Zealand, but it is chinese meat), the burger was fried, frozen and refried.

I complained and they offered to do a fresh burger for me, but I got the same brick stone burger again.

I remember The Silver Spoon doing the best burgers in town, but those times are long gone.....

I have been eating at Salvadors many many times.

And my main reasons for coming back all the time is very simple. They really care for good quality ingredients and the staff is always nice and friendly!

But the best for me: The Shipwreck, I so love this coffee!

After reading all those nice reviews we were very looking forward to see this place. But we were very disappointed.
The place was not at all comfortable.

And everything we saw on display made us not buying anything. Everything was wrapped very tight in transparent plastic foil and was not appealing to us.

Not a place where we want to sit and have food.
