The issue is not 5.5 rmb.
The issue is fraud. As said above, just because you are on low pay does not mean stealing is OK.
The flip side. Just because you can afford to use Lazy Bones, does this make cheating you OK?
Lazy Bones have good reason to be concerned as this can seriously affect their business. If we don't trust the drives, we may stop using the service. This needs to be nipped in the bud.
Perhaps LBones could tell drivers that if they receive complaints, their services may no longer be required.
Forums > Study > Are there any programs in Kunming for foreigners to become qualified as Chinese teachers The question would be, if you want to teach back home, what qualification is recognised back home?
If the CSL course is like many TEFL courses, it may not be recognised in many countries. If so, you may get some private clients, but you would not be able to teach in schools.
It may also be worth contacting the education departments in both the Chinese Embassy and local government offices back home. Have you spoken to your high school Chinese teacher? He/she may also be in a good position to advise. Additionally you could try contacting the Confucius Institutes in Beijing or back home.
Just some thoughts

Computer? Depends on what you will use it for. Internet speeds here are very slow. I am outside the city centre and the fastest service I can get is 2MB/s. Connecting to the internet is via modem, we buy a service from the phone company, there is no choice in our suburb.
Cell phone, you can 'buy' a SIM here, but you need to get local to help you as all mobiles require real name registration. You can get pay as you go or contracts. Some local contracts allow you to phone any other phone with the same phone company, in the same locale, free.
I generally buy cheap phones, they are less attractive to thieves. Smart phones are available here, but from what I can gather they don't work to full capacity/functionality because of local connection/services are poor.

Government bans swimming at tourist-friendly Fuxian Lake
发布者We had mandatory swimming lessons in primary school. One school had a small 25m pool, that sits on the ground and is about 1m deep. But that was 50 years ago.
Stone Age graveyard discovered in Yunnan's Chuxiong Prefecture
发布者I heard a story about Dinosaur valley, which may or may not be true. The fancy building you see from the highway is not the actual site, but the efforts of a bunch of entrepreneurial locals who wanted to cash in on the nearby site. It is not connected in any way with the archaeological site.
Much ado about...littering at Lugu Lake
发布者I think most of us have come across customers we would rather do without. The idea of "firing your customers' has been around for at least 20 years now. www.customerexperienceinsight.com/[...] The days of 'the customer is always right'are long gone.
Government bans swimming at tourist-friendly Fuxian Lake
发布者I used to sail there. There is a small beach on the north shore and a small chicken egg producer. You could smell the chicken sewage in the water as you launched and recovered the boats.

发布者I love the way the four guys are just lying down at the end of the video, Playing the victims no doubt. What are they waiting for, compensation?
