Why are you scouring the personals, lemon? Business or pleasure? ;)

A bit of devil's advocacy. I think it may be possible poster is being truthful in his ads. He could in fact hold dual citizenships. Fishing with his Canadian and American passport baits to increase his chances of a bite.

No, he isn't being subtle with his flirty intentions. At least he's being direct about it. Quite a few men may hide their actual intentions by hooking women with false hopes of a marriage, granted not all women may want all out serious relationships. Lonelier women these days may also seek fun and companionship on the side while looking for a serious relationship as their MO. The eclectic, non-binary nature of personals are not for us to judge too harshly.

So my overall take is the poster seems honest enough. However, the self-pronouncement of being "highly educated" did ring a familiar bell. That tone sounded like a guy, whom I shall not name, you were engaging in an acrimonious exchange with in the forums a while back.

Yereth, let us know if your green code has updated to a green shield by now.

Those jogging at Green Lake, with newly partitioned joggers' lane, have probably noticed South entrance's newly renovated, three-story mega dinning establishment with spacious outdoor patio overlooking the now blossoming lotus flower pond. @Yunn Coffee Roasters is the main cafe (trial opening), which is supposedly an offshoot brand under parent company Maan Coffee (Korean coffee chain) situated nearby on the West end of Green Lake with a pretty awesome view on the second floor.

Soon to open alongside @Yunn Coffee Roasters will be Max Brenner Chocolate Bar. Offering fondues, chocolate pizzas, chocolate hazelnut spread crème brûlée, chocolate waffles/cookies/ice creams, and assortment of chocolate confectionery. Chocolate lovers in Kunming should keep a nose out for this multinational restaurant & shop's grand opening in the near future.

Check out the Max Brenner Chocolate Bar store in Manhattan (HQ in NY) to get an idea of their style and menu offered:

Not sure what Carrefour's promotion is about, but their imported pasta, sauces, condiments, confectionery, butter, and cheese are all 50% off.

Even Carrefour's batteries, adapters, glue & tools sections are half off.

Minimum purchase of 88rmb required. Appliances and fresh produce excluded.

May be a good day to stock up. Today is the last day for this major discount event, which has been going on for a few days now.

Thanks for the update.

So bad news for foreigners who drink religiously, play rugby religiously, or eat squirrels & rodents religiously under lockdown. /s

If it makes you feel any better. Unorthodox, cult-like company practices inside organizations operated by Chinese nationals are also discouraged if not rooted out by the state. At least on paper.

One only needs to read Underground by Haruki Murakami, or Waking Up by Sam Harris, to discover the insidious nature of cults and how their "guru" leaders can influence their followers, even educated and seemingly rational individuals, to commit antisocial acts in ways that undermine the welfare of the masses.

Double edged sword.
