PS: although it isn't listed on the events calendar anymore, all you can eat pizza with drinks continues this whole weekend :)
If interested we have Satuday evening a special VIP wine tasting with lecture (incl. all you can eat pizza on top for free)
We have a few spaces available. This is NOT a public event, so reservation is required. (18687190314)
Usually when the sentence has words indicating it's in the past "enjoy-ed", the time is best kept the same for other verbs within that sentence.
Technically you can use all 4 options nowadays but A: "seat-ed" would be the best fit.
Alternatively B: "Sat" is good too, but people tend to use "While sat comfortably". as it's more descriptive of being/happening "at the same time".
In addition I have another example:
"What's wrong with keep on learning?"
"Learning" has the ending "-ing", requiring the "keep" to become "keep-ing".
It is of course normally it is subject to which person (I,you,he,she,it,we,they) you are using, but not here.
This is something else and relates to a different use of words all together:
"Without them I could not go further".
Making progress in this instance is not a motion*, meaning you use "get" instead of "go". "you get further".
If you use "go further" in this sentence it would mean you'd feel ashamed / not up to the task.
* it's a state of mind.
This above is a simplified explanation :)
If anyone wants to contribute, feel free to do so :)
1 year multi-entry? I haven't met anyone who got one of those.
As far as I know this is mostly for full-time teachers at Universities, business people who have established (trade / financial) relations here, business people who work for companies who have offices here, economists / lawyers who work for major companies or governments and there's politicians / heads of state of course.
Is there a list available of animals the government sees as endangered or forbidden? Not that I'd ever eat anything like those, but I want to know how far their list reaches in regards to foreign animals and if Yao Ming's efforts paid off. Thanks!
Hmm, sounds like every day driving in KM. Risking your life in an attempt to get to where you have to be.
It feels and looks just like a Demolition Derby here.
(Today a guy threatened to ram our car twice! because he was jealous that we were driving 5 Kph faster than him and using our "indicator light" to offend him...)
It becomes really sad when drivers here don't care about making life hard for people who are ill, pregnant or disabled. Or cause injury or death to others because it is of no concern to them or is simply beneficial to them. I've seen it happen. No deaths yet, but close enough...
Golden rule:
"What you don't know won't hurt you."
Expensive, but probably one of the best places in this whole province to find genuine top brands (Prada, Gucci, etc.) for outlet prices.
Their jewelry sections in the basement is also very large but I would never touch any jewelry in China.
Unbeatable priced. Seriously!
Prices start from 25 yuan p/p when you have a member card (deposit money on it).
The theaters are very good and they also show movies in 3D.
They always have the latest movies. Actually, they show most foreign movies in their native language which is awesome as I don't understand much Chinese yet.
Chinese movies are frequently shown with English subtitles.
Just make always sure and ask before attending a show what the language and subtitles are, but I guess that's a given in China :)
Personally this is one of my favorite halal restaurants in Kunming. ^_^
Known well among the upper class of Kunming, it is very classy and is very good for quality business lunches and dinners. Having been here many times, this restaurant truly never lets you down. It's a little more pricey (-or a lot more pricey than your average noodle and rice restaurant), but the staff is very well trained and the food is exquisite and above all safe (they don't serve pork). (this is an absolute pre- when having business dinners as you don't want your guests to become sick).
My favorite dishes:
Steamed whole fish (predator type) in light soy-sauce.
Ground beef and ground peanuts over baked eggplant.
The seafood ice platter (salmon, scallop and snail) is very delicate and good for making a quality impression.
This is one of South Kunming's largest farmers markets. Originally named "seafood market" for its focus on fish, shellfish and other seafood, it now contains a large vegetable, fruit, meat, bakery and dried food selection.
New Asia Athletics Park (Guandu District) is one of the most well thought-out developments of the city. As part of the de-urbanization plan, it accommodates the new government and trade districts of the city.
It is also one of the most child-friendly districts of Kunming.
Located next to the Guandu Ancient Town, New Asia Athletics Park boasts a hospital, dozens of playgrounds in car-free zones and parks, a quality hotel, a stadium with various sport facilities including badminton, ping-pong, basketball and football (there are more facilities).
In addition it has one of Kunming's top Halal restaurants with truly exquisite food and many other options for fine dining, a very good value cinema (who offers a card system allowing you to get tickets for about half price). They always have the latest movies (also available in English or with English subtitles).
It is next to the new Metro line (which already runs here), with easy access to the flower market and Chenggong University town. Carrefour Supermarket, Luosiwan International Trade City and the lake.
There is also a direct freeway to Kunming airport making it a very convenient location.
Planned for opening in 2014 / 2015 there is also the New Kunming Theater and a new Kunming / Yunnan museum.
