If you've been here long enough, it seems to get better. Alternate take on that, I guess, would be that you've been here too long, but either way it tends to make dinners with Chinese friends more fun.
Overall it's been going up for years. Given the local economy & the global economy and local needs and differential access to resources everywhere, how much should it be? This is not a smartass implied criticism - I don't know the answer - but a real question for discussion.
This kind of micromanaging is absurdly anal anyway, but note that, at 12 dishes per 10 people at a table and total bill for table not to exceed Y200, that means less than Y20 per guest.
This might not be too bad an idea in some "rural areas" - particularly poor ones - but it'll never fly. Not that I think it's a bad idea generally to slap fatcats upside the head.
Perhaps many Chinese have a particularly positive idea about US doctors, but wouldn't the whole operation be cheaper if doctors in numerous other countries were consulted? Anything medical in the US is not cheap.
Nice article. Couple of notes (1) as a general rule, seems to me it would be nice if those who put bombs in the ground in a war they lost should be require to clean them up - rather doubt if the UN or any similar organization will ever have the power to enforce such, or even have the balls to propose it, considering that their sponsors are governments. So the world must wait for tourists.. (2, more practical): better to do 10 hours conscious on the day bus from LP to Vientiane than to try to sleep on it at night. .
I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.
