Maybe it's just me but if you are looking to teach at a university- or teach university students- maybe it would be a good idea to use short form and capital letters correctly, not to write "2" instead of "to" and be able to spell university. Good luck with the job hunting though.

I've heard that Mistress Wang's Palace of Pleasure on Beijing Lu has plenty to spare. Ask for Lu "The Whip" Ting and tell them that Danmairen sent you.
Seems like Chinasmack is blocked now too. In the end there will be nothing left but the main CCP website and China Daily. Basically 25 percent of my searches these days shuts down my connection and I get the "Done" and an empty screen for the next 5 minutes. And that's just searching on seemingly harmless words like lyrics for music, quotes and stuff like that. They are really beginning to piss people off now.
Seems to me they might have abandoned the leniency towards English language sites which is bad news for everyone.
Today's earthquake happened around 19.17 and measured 5.5 on the Richter Scale. It's epicenter was 100 km Northeast of Dali.
My table moved a bit and the building swayed for about 15-20 seconds. Not always fun to live in a high rise I guess.

The comment from Chris had deserved a wider audience. Beluga?
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.
Kunming-based project aims to make cycling history
Posted byLet 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?
Yunnan coffee grower to export to the US
Posted byNever 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.
Officials: Yuxi cholera outbreak 'under control'
Posted byHow 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.
