@Dazzer - my Chinese ex always said that I was the cheapest person she'd ever met. Maybe she wasn't that crazy after all.
@Dazzer, I'd consider it a big hassle if I had to firstly come up with, and secondly get rid of, that much money :) I honestly live on 50k/year, based on 9 months, and it includes housing, healthcare (basic so far, touch wood), weekend trips, western food several times a week, being drunk and disorderly, some item of new clothing almost weekly..and I swear to god I don't do any tricks with loaves or fishes
Cost of living aspect: obviously costs are lower here, but so are incomes. However if the income is in USD or GBP or even EUR, a little goes a long way. Consider a nestegg of 200.000 EUR in a bank at say 3% = 6.000 per annum, 50.000 kuai. Enough to live well on here, but won't even cover housing in the west. Do some charity work or study for the sake of a visa, and Bobs your uncle.
All news to me. So, there is a bunch of white religious missionary dudes doing charity work with an army of kids around here? Sounds like an accident waiting to happen.
No results found.
been there several times, very satisfied every time. menu has classics like fish n chips, bolognese, pizzas etc. very tasty, at good prices.
Friendly staff and good service, food and prices are ok. No complaints but its nothing special either, and not worth a visit unless you live closeby.
Nice atmosphere and cosy but the western food is bad. I think they deep-fry the burgers. As a cafe - 4 stars (service is a little bit lacking at times), coffee and cakes etc are good. As a restaurant, 2 stars (western food is too bad, asian food is mamahuhu).
"All the Meat" only had about 3 slices of salami on it, so maybe i got the wrong order. Anyway, leaving that aside - soggy bread, ketchup as tomatosauce, and cheese was probably from a tube.
Potato wedges soggy as well.
I left half my meal, the only thing up to scratch was the coke and the service. Will not be back.
If the name of the shop is written in english then they should speak english, yes! A pokey shithole trying to give the impression of a quaint li'l ole bookshop. Pig-ignorant staff, never been greeted with a smile there, nor even greeted. If you must shop here, bring your own bag. 1 star earned for selection and the (for me) convenient location.

发布者im just thinking about a friend whos son was recently diagnosed with adhd. its an easier example to draw paralells with addiction than my kidney disease example, because a sympthom of adhd is to affect the behaviour - just like alcoholism. not so many years ago, this kid would have been called a 'bad' kid, he would hav been beaten, slapped, an the parents would have been blamed. in fact before being diagnosed he was already thrown out of playschool for violent behaviour. i understand that the treatment for adhd is speed! anyway, i think the public at large have learned to see behaviour as a symptom of mental illness in the case of adhd...but not quite there yet in the case of addiction.

发布者you're right, and there's no use denying it: sickness causes hardship.
problems arise when you judge a persons value as a human based on which particular ailment they do or dont suffer from. you can call a drunk 'alcoholic', sure. the folly however is to associate the term 'alcoholic' with 'bad quality person'. this is ignorance (my use of the word is also not to be associated with 'bad quality person'!). in fact i think it could be argued that recovered alco's add tremendous value to society! including those that substitute dope with compulsive dogoodmanship etc! :)

发布者I never worked as a counsellor, just did the trainings. I think the key thing to remember is that addiction is a sickness, not a crime. It can be cured, though I'd say that HFCAMPOs claim about substitution is pretty much on the mark, too. Many do indeed become compulsive dogooders, sporters, etc etc. But I think this sort of substitution, as long as its not harmful to the person or his/her surroundings, should not be seen as a bad thing. This substitution COULD be viewed in the same way as a person with kidney failure substituting sickness with dialysis...

发布者I'm not too sure about rehabilitation for DEALERS though. Thats a different kettle of fish altogether...

发布者i trained as a counsellor more than 20 years ago, for dope and for bereavement. Saw lots of turnarounds, some permenant, some temporary.
