I believe what Quester meant to say with all that killing babies talk is "unwanted embryos without consciousness". I'm not a huge fan of how a number of Chinese see abortion either, but that Holier-than-thou, American missionary crap ought to be kept confined to the backwaters of the "real" America.
KIA is a Christian school but I guess one year couldn't harm too much. You could also hire a teacher full time, 300 US$ a month is a reasonable alternative to Chinese or private schooling if we're only talking a year. Might also consider taking the plunge and enrol the kids in a Chinese school. Would pretty much guarantee them having a decent command of Chinese after 12 months.
I think he's referring to how you have to pay the full amount in cash in China for a car if you haven't got a house/flat as security to get a loan. Goes without saying really that this applies to foreigners as well.
"You're always allowed to turn right at your own risk and responsibility" was what I was going to write, but the more I think about it the more I doubt myself. I've been driving for 2 years now and I turn right no matter if there's a dedicated arrow or not,, just like the Chinese do. I do know that pedestrians -in theory- have the right of way when you're turning and encounter them in the zebra crossing, although I believe many Chinese drivers aren't aware of that or just don't care.
Let me be the first to offer a very sincere "Yawn" and a good luck with the project. I don't mind cycling per se but after having experienced traffic in China I would much rather donate to research into human teleportation so we can avoid spending time dodging cars and sidestepping scooters in the deadly chaos known as the Kunming streets. Can you imagine what it will be like in 5-10 years with their plans to make this a 10 million city without building a subway?
Never heard of "ECUM Coffee Group", made a quick search on some Danish websites,, no results and no companies with even remotely similar sounding names. Oh well,, that's 10 mins of my life I am never getting back.
How comforting that it only took 2 weeks to spread the news. Should think people had learned their lesson at this point. Cholera is a m/f of a nasty disease.
Went there yesterday and it totally made my week. Nice decor and friendly staff and a real salad bar. Sadly we both wanted mexican food so I can't really say much about their other courses. The food was great but just a tad spicier would have improved the dish. The best thing was that we almost had the place to ourselves and we could have a quiet conversation without shouting, spitting Chinese people in the background. I realised how much I had missed that since coming here.
We went to Chicago Coffee a couple of days ago and it was a nice experience. The place is cozy with soft comfy chairs (I realized how much I have missed one since coming here) and they have a nice little collection of English language books in the corner consisting mainly of classics and travel litterature. I was looking forward to trying their advertized tortilla bar but it wasn't up and running that evening.
Instead we went for 2 12 inch pizzas -roast chicken and pepperoni- but we quickly realized that 1 would have been enough. Those things are heavy. I am mainly into Italian style pizza but Chicago's double layered pizzas are well worth a try. Their coffee seems to be a bit on the expensive side but people say good things about it and they have got a nice selection. I wouldn't mind dropping by again some day,, hopefully when they've got the tortilla thing going. English speaking staff btw.
