My fault for poorly phrased response in the first place.

They probably lots the records in a move, or the admin bunny who works there cannot find a record. No visible proof means it did not happen, they will not admit to losing anything, FACE.
You have a record of at least having paid, but that is history, you are concerned about the now.
As for the free semester, it is your word against theirs. You can't win that one. The person who made the offer has either left, or been forced by their boss to recant. FACE.
If you do not continue study they are legally obliged to cancel the visa. I am sure that you don't want to give them money to continue study, but they will not give you free tuition.
What you could do is find another school that is willing to give you a study visa. I doubt you will be blacklisted as this is a dispute between customer and vendor.
I don't know how you are talking to them, but I would use email. That way there is a paper trail. Telephone calls are deniable.
The model used in UK is to fine the bar owner. This way the bar owners have to do the policing, as there is always someone who will report you in UK.
The smoking ban decimated the pub industry in UK, as it was already weak from high tax on booze and low price beer at the supermarket.
We shall have to see how it pans out. But some laws prove to be unenforceable here and are dropped by popular demand. Remember the thing with registering the ebikes a couple of years ago? That was unworkable and was dropped.
Define tasty????? Um!
By 'you get what you have paid for', I mean that you don't buy 10 year old tea and get home to find it is only 3 year old, or a different grade from what you were told.
Pu'er is like wine, people buy it and then put it down for a few years. There is no limit on price. You can easily pay over 10 000 for a brick. But I am sure that the staff will be able to find you something to your taste and in you price range, however much that is.
I see Raffles are advertising for a teacher. Does anyone have an opinion on them?
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
Celebrating a Miao Christmas in Yunnan
发布者For many societies, once people have elevated to a level of 'security', through wealth or power, these people turn away from religion towards mammon.
Kunming's bike share options: A user guide
发布者I would guess that a proportion of the money is being invested. Invested in setting up (dumping lots of bikes on the streets) in new cities to attract more deposits. If that is the case, there are parallels with Ponzi schemes.

发布者Didi are unlikely to go broke anytime soon, but even if OFO is owned by Didi, if it is running at a loss, Didi will offload it very quickly. Once the business case is established, or not, people will either re-invest or divest.
The OFO bikes are cheap, have a manual lock, no GPS, I assume no app except for payment. These are the bikes mostly seen ridden by kids, who often are riding a misappropriated machine. It looks like the OFO business model is lowest cost, and accept the losses of assets.
The MOBIKEs have remote locking, and GPS tracking. The bikes were custom built and were expensive to have made, but the app helps to find the nearest bike, and you can reserve them, to save you walking to a bike which in the meantime is hired by someone else. The MOBIKE business model seems to be larger upfront costs, but better service, and traceability of the assets.
I am not sure if the OFO business case is sustainable, only time will tell.
Report: Kunming to add two Metro lines
发布者Elevated trains would have been quicker, which is why they use them for long sections of track outside the city.
However, it would have requited tearing down whole neighborhoods, causing huge disruption to city life, not just traffic. Then there is the socio-economic impacts of closing down large areas of the city. Additionally, the large numbers of demolitions would have a major impact on air quality, and what do you with all of the building rubble.
Finally, the increased cost for the whole process; bearing in mind that cost was also a major factor in the lack of progress thus far.
Around Town: Kunming's secluded Lianhua Temple
发布者It might be a new guy, or there is some other visit on this week. It is probably worth trying again, and if the same guy is there, just tell him you are going up to the temple.
