Besides cache, I think some mobile apps sniff the SIM card and phone number your phone is using (sometime they have to ask permission to do so), and could link that with your old information in their cloud. In such cases clearing all data in your phone will not help.

Another example of this is how TikTok, the foreign market version of Douyin, fails to install if the phone is using Chinese SIM.

Related to these developments specifically about banning English tutoring, I'm already rejoicing here over our "natively" bilingual 4 year old's future academic and job opportunities compared to his peers.

In our residential area up north there are small public playgrounds that have outdoor ping pong tables with no restrictions. I'm sure there are others around the city, if such would suffice.

Oh, you are right it does mention preschool.

"What are the changes? [...] They [the reforms] concentrate on education in core subjects, or compulsory education, which refers to grades K-9, covering the ages of approximately 6-15 years."

"Other notable measures [...] On this note, tutoring centers cannot hold offline or online training for preschool students, including foreign language education".

This (or rather what is not included in that list of to-dos) sums the criticism that I personally have toward the whole ordeal, and how GoKunming (out of no choice I understand) had to respond to it with rest of the nation.

Ask questions and increase revenue, but feel free to avoid discussing and, heaven forbid, debating anything.

Not sure if this applies to Italy visas, but for many other European countries:

The Joint Visa Application Center that used to be in Beichen, is now relocated to an office building at intersection of .Shibo Road and Bojin Avenue.

New address:

I'm not a big fan of croissants anyway, and donuts I have not found in either of the establishments you mentioned.

@Dolphin: "savouring the croissant helps to cultivate appreciation. ie appreciating simple things rather than always feeling discontent that you don't have enough"

Perhaps, but it equally helps to cultivate ignorance of all the labor that has been put into creating that experience for you. At least I would allow you to feel discontent on behalf all the people who don't have enough, whether they had part in creating the croissant or not.

I't shouldn't anymore be about what you have or don't have, but what the other 7.7 billion (minus 1) people have or don't have. That's where the musings of Buddha (as quoted above) go wrong in this day and age.

There perhaps was a time, when embracing reality same way you would savour the croissant, could have been beneficial to achieving an enlightened state of mind.

But today, many would call such view on life quite the opposite of enlightened - it could be called ignorance or covering your eyes from all that is wrong. Perhaps that's suitable in Chinese context.

There, I connected the croissant to politics.
