Forums > Living in Kunming > RE:nasty Dog slaughterhouse in kunming Yeah, but the dogs they eat are those ugly little yellow dogs normally. It isn't like they are eating the cute dogs like Huskies, Collies, or so on. And there are a lot of freakin' ugly dogs around this town. The small ones with the faces that look like someone hit with a sledgehammer and the overbite.
Meat is meat. You can't complain about eating dogs if you are eating chicken, beef, mutton, or whatever! I try anything: rabbit, snake, pigeon, goose, dog, cat, duck's blood, chicken's blood, brains, and I've even eaten testicles before. I would like to try to eat panda, but I don't think they would let me. I did have whale and dolphin before too.

Forums > Living in Kunming > English schools in Kunming It is so hard to find a good school in Kunming. On the other side though, there are many bad foreigners here as well. I'll just say stay away from Summit School. They go through foreigners like crazy there. A lot of other private schools will try to make you have a 12 hour shift during the weekends. People seem like they can't do schedules here. Schools like that are pretty good to get a part-time job at though. Even if they give you the same hours, it is sometimes better to get a part-time contract. Universities try to OWN you and treat you like rubbish. If you can find a school where you are the only teacher or one of the only good teachers there, maybe a small, new school, this would probably be the best. There is DDDragon in the north. People seem to respect you more at those places.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Youtube gone, now facebook? I'm sure they'll be back. . . some day. I like using Baidu.com video search more anyways. Other sites like Tudou.com as well. You can watch full television series like the tonight show, daily show, real time with bill maher, as well as watch full movies which is a lot better than Youtube. But to be fair, no one really complains about how some hosts in America will only allow access from North America. In the meantime you can do something a little more meaningful with your life instead of wasting time on Facebook or whatever. I knew some people who were addicted to computers or websites that they couldn't go a single day without it. Sad.
Forums > Living in Kunming > How to call collect? You can also use your cellphone; however, before you do so, you have to go to the phone company and get the international plan or access. My wife did this for me. Also you can dial 12593 before calling the phone number. It is like a long distance discount rate number.
Might get a Chinese friend to help you if you cannot speak Chinese.
