@Dan Maybe.
@Liumingke True. Maybe they should add 'whites only'.
Maybe they should stop the BS (Bluberry Sundaes) and STFU (Sit Together with the Forgetful Uncle). At least most other schools with religious ideals leave it for the application form or don't mention it until interview.
On the bright side, I guess it saves time.
I've just seen a job advertised on here. Amongst the requirements are a 'Strong belief in JC' and 'A real native English speaker'. I can understand that they wouldn't want a fake teacher but ADVERTISING a religious background as a requirement? Are they stupid enough to think that the authorities can't guess who they are refering to as JC? Is this ad even legal?
There doesn't appear to be an official way of recycling. Like JanJal says, many things can just be left
by the side of the bin. the collectors decide if it has any value. Everything else is incinerated (including many things that could probably be recycled).
Without a big shift in attitudes here, an army of litter collectors couldn't keep up with the holiday tourists who simply don't care and often believe that littering is OK because 'it gives people jobs'. The nets might not be a perfect solution but they are relatively cheap and effective. It's certainly a better idea than simply dumping it into the seas and rivers.
Recipient’s address in both English and Chinese also helps and a contact phone number at this end must be clear on the envelope/parcel.

The only place worth going for a beer in Lijiang. Small place with a super friendly vibe. Great relaxed hangout for locals and travellers alike.
a lovely place to stay with great views of Yulong xueshan (JadeDragon snow mountain) from the roof! Beautifully decorated and hosts that make you feel like family. A million miles better than most other places locally. I can't recommend this place enough.
i thought i'd give this place another try as my usual place was closed today. even though there is now more choice, i was not impressed by the menu. they do have an apparently good range of coffees for up to 80 kuai but even a basic latte is Y26 now. the drinks were OK but nothing special and certainly not worth the money. the place looked somehow cleaner too and was certainly busier! why have so many of the cafes in this area decided that it's fine to raise their prices by so much (in some cases almost double)? i doubt i'll be going back. the 2 stars are because it was just OK and they've obviously made some effort.
not a bad selection of stuff and some of the staff obviously know their way around a bike. however, the 'special' prices for foreigners and the fact that some of the staff will use a big hammer to fix anything keeps me from going back. you could do better.
I won't go there again. The yoghurt is tasty and the curries are usually ok (they seem to vary in quality depending on the day and time). What really annoys me is the fact that they can't comprehend that I order dishes to eat TOGETHER... if my curry arrives 30 minutes after all the other dishes it's not really acceptable. Then again, neither is the 1 hour wait for the rest of the food or the incorrect dishes being sent. By the way, why can't I sit on the 3rd floor until both of the other floors are packed full? Has it never occurred to them that I might want a quiet meal and, after all, I am paying for it!
Sacred mountains, ponies and an obscure Tibetan festival in Yunnan
发布者Thank you GoKM. I (almost) always enjoy the travel type articles. Even though it's not the first time Nizu (or Niru) has been featured on this website, at least you've brought it to the attention of travellers before the coach loads of litter-dropping tourists arive or before it's swallowed and 'improved' by the national park. Funny (NOT), that was the fate predicted in this 2015 article:

Yunnan Baiyao sued for false advertising involving toothpaste
发布者Interesting story... thanks GoKunming. Possibly of more interest is the fate of the original inventor... a member of a Yunnan minority.
Several provinces under suspicion of "faking" environmental protection data
发布者Many government workers in (parts of) Yunnan have had their weekends 'cancelled' until mid-December in an effort to deal with this mess.
Accidentally celebrating the end of Buddhist Lent in Laos
发布者Thanks Sean. A really interesting read - more relatable and less of a corporate sheen. Some lovely pictures in there too. We could all use a break from our phones sometimes but the 'always on' Wechat is quickly becoming a fact of everyday life in China, epecially for those in work. This was another little reminder that life is beautiful.
