Forums > Living in Kunming > Discrimination in ESL all the comment went off topic and i dont know why..the original point was: when it comes to teach english, china is the place where you have to pretend you are from uk,canada, usa, australia,new zealand and those lies bring major problems like bribery,cheating and so on. how can we not agree on that? how can we not agree that a teacher should be recruited according to his ability as educator and not by his passport? how can we deny that refusing a job to somebody who speaks better english than a native and has better teaching skills/ experience is discrimination?

Forums > Living in Kunming > Do NOT marry a Chinese woman Every society has its codes, in some countries they tell you to be handsome or cool to find a good wife, in other they tell you to be rich, somewhere they even tell you to be holy!
A real man is free to read all the garbage articles about all the collection of sociological/psychological labels supposed to help in finding his "miss right" but finally the reason why he will choose his wife will be related only to his personal experience and personal relation with the other person.

hahaha such a bullshit! Guide for foreign teachers in China hahaha
Cmon what brainless loser would need to read such article before deciding to marry or no a woman?
Also the approach to the problem is totally wrong, they wanna use a scientific method but there is no scientific evidence of all the conclusions they made.. garbage.

Kunming educator finalist for Global Teacher Prize
发布者@ fixit the best way to burn a potential talented player is to let him play in the wrong position. the coach is the one who has the experience to choose the best position for everyone in the team. imagine every player having the authority to decide where and when to play, do you think that would be the most effective way? everybody is a genius at something but nobody is a genius at everything.

发布者@fixit a good teacher is like a good father, he guides the student and let him find his way. every kid has some ability and lacks others, failing is also a way to let the student focus on something he is better at. imagine you are a football coach, a player is good in defense but he dreams to be a top striker, what kind of training would you design for him? the good world is the one where everybody can give his contribution according to his skill/ability, everyone is a genius at something.
New Kunming train station to open in 2016
发布者i dont think it s bad planning,there are so many people in china that every new hub is welcome. think about spring festival where everything is congested. guilin kunming also can help tourism. by subway in 45 minutes passengers can get to nan pin jie, not bad.

Holiday operator suspended for violating national tourism laws
发布者This article is not reporting what really happened. The tourists signed a contract where they bought a "1 renminbi tour" including food, accomodation and visit to dali, lijiang, sichuanbanna and other destinations but the package required to spend from 3000 to 4000 yuan in shopping. Once in the locations the tourists refused to buy goods, on the bus the tour guide insulted them (she gets payed according to the money tourists spend in shopping) and one passenger took a video of her delivering it to the media.
Just an abuse case from multiple sides...
