I guess, mmteacher is not a math teacher :-DD
Metro, Pauls and imported goods = 5000kuai per month. Who can eat that much??

Who drinks 3 bottles of beer every night, every day of the month? Alcoholics do, but the rest doesnt...

Another thing. I like to eat honey. Honey from the street vendor 35kuai per jar. Honey from the Chinese honey shop 40kuai. Honey from Carrefour imported goods section 40kuai.
Most of the time I buy imported goods, because I dont trust the Chinese products here. I never buy Chinese milk or dairy and anything else that could contain high levels of chemicals, pesticides... The Chinese government just had to admitt that 60% of the groundwater is severly contaminated as well as two third of its land. You dont need to be a biology teacher to realize that these things will also find its way into your food.
Most of the time Monsieur teacher is speaking of MALE foreigners. Well, he already laid bare his attitude and opinion about women o_O

Roberta Schira - journalist and food critic for the major Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera appareantly just wrote a whole book about it.

There are 7 rules on how to judge a gastronomic experience:

"1. Ingredients
Must be the best the market can offer, fresh and of quality.

2. Technique
Must know how to manipulate and transform the ingredients in a dish respecting its essence, tradition and science.

3. Genius
The capacity to transform something that already exists into something new.

4. Equilibrium/Harmony
A sense of harmony within oneself and the world during the culinary experience.

5. Atmosphere
The ensemble of details that makes one utter "I feel good here".

6. Project
Place an idea behind a dish, a place, move forward.

7. Value
What we think is the right compensation for the gastronomic experience."

@mmteacher:
im familiar with those objective principles. My good friend worked in the kitchen of the fat duck (UK) for a couple of years.

There is also the subjective, personal taste. As I said before, the most important thing is whether you like the food or not.

@Alien:
Maybe you need to explain to me, why can you argue about food?
It's too salty, too greasy, too expensive, it gives you the runs, it's unhealthy?
In the end, it just comes down to whether you like the food or not.

There are two things in life you cannot argue about: Food and religion.

As to me, nothing wrong about Mc Donalds. Of course it's not healthy, but hey most sauces that are used in Chinese restaurants contain even more Msg, artifical flavour, colour, preservatives, including some chemicals forbidden in Europe.
Where and what you want to eat is entirely up to oneself.

As I said before: Complete mismanagement and ignorance. What really makes me laugh is, on the one hand it's drought, but they still water the plants in my xiaoqu with tap water and of course in the afternoon when sun is at it's peak. On the other hand when it's raining, and heavy rain is very common here, everything is flooded within minutes.

By the way, who helps the elderly people to carry their water buckets into their apartment?

@magnifico: In China everyone asks anyone about their income. Also about your age. Back home a no go, but here absolutely fine.

Plus, it's a general question about this particular industry. Might even be the case, that taxi drivers here in China have a good income not like the ones back home.

Still waiting for the answer of the question: How much does a taxi driver make per month?

The questions is: What causes the drought? Is it the vast destruction of the environment (cutting down forests, removing whole mountains, building dams and so on) or is it only because of climate change as some Chinese government 'experts' say. If you know the answer, you can solve the problem instead of just cutting the water supply.

Second question: Does Kunming and Yunnan use up more water then they posses?

Growing agricultural and flower sector (plants need water and animals use up huge amounts of water during their lifetime), changing life style (cars, meat and so on), mining, construction sites (you need water for mixing concrete and while the concrete dries) and so on

Are there ways to use the water more efficient and not waste it?
Non leaking pipelines and more clarification plants...

I clearly doubt, that any of the government officials would ever think that far. Beijing is the best example. They havent got enough water, so they redirect water from the Yangtze river which is just 1500km away. Not considering the vital consequences...

The problem is not the drought. It's the complete mismanagement of precious ressources. Instead of spending money on the construction and maintainance of the water system (pipelines) and the waste water system including clarification plants, Yunnans officials rather spend it on prestige buildings. Why? Because the officials on the next higher level will only judge on what they see, meaning above surface.
It's very easy: If you already havent got enough of something, dont waste it.

havent been there in months, because I wasnt too impressed. but some friends and I thought we should give it a try again.
This was definitely the last time we went there... very unfriendly staff who dont pay any attention and the owner asking you whether you cant squeeze in the last slice of pizza when she cleared the table...

About the pizza, very oily and low quality products used for making it
