most of these international progs are not snake oil, often well funded and supported/approved by top universities overseas. 3 years of proper curriculum. it is the 1 year transfer progs that can be a bit dodgy. lots in kunming, maybe 20 or more, most run as little chinese owned and run consultancies. that offer academic english and college application service. for students who have done and even failed gaokao .i worked in one of these places to. this is very different from the proper international progs and shouldnt be confused
i worked in one of these places and most of the kids, not all, were those who were failing in the chinese ed system. some not up to it, some too lazy, some maladjusted. a small number of good students who did very well and got prepared for western ed. the latter group would do well in any walk of life anywhere. most fo the parents were buying the kids a way out from failure. some these kids then went to america and failed first year then when to some little college and came back with a useless bit of paper, but with bragging right. these are kids who could only aspire to mediocrity in any walk of life, destined to become financially dependent on daddy
20% probly in the small print which most people dont read. insurance in china is not the same as other countries. possibly pretty low cover, if you kill someone they might only pay thr first 100k then you pays. cheep gps tracker easy to overcome especially if car is not reported for 24hrs. remote shutdown, yeh maybe as an extra when you buy high end motor. zuche usually base models of cheap brands. probly dont even have gps nav let alone gps tracker
i can see quiet a few people enjoying these new regs. less compulsion to have more face than the last local wedding, and you can cap cost without losing face. sounds like a winner to me
does that last post make sense to anyone. i cant get my head around it. please can someone clarify. i thought openine all those guest houses was compormising the allure. and more so the livelihoods of locals, not much less. out of town entrepreuers will benefit as they are the ones now opening the branded shaokao and posh businesses,more likely than locals doing it. how can the new identity maintain the ecology, more people means more impact, and the aim of the business is to make money, the identity is promote tourism surely?
Swedish design ideas, kunming build quality. i have bought lots of ikea stuff in the past, the furniture at #11 are poor facsimiles of genuine item. Yes stuff is affordable, but poorly made and overpriced in my opinion. we took a good look around and looked closely at build quality and walked away.
It might be worth identifying which Prague venue you are reviewing.
When I first arrived in Kunming I did a tour of Wenlin Jie. I did't like the look of Prague.
More recently I have used Prague in Beichen a lot and I like it.
Ref the comment @nonsecond about being made sick from raw apple, WTF?
