Wong in Hong Kong, a Cantonese-speaking society, is often the spelling of 2 different Chinese-surname characters both spelled Wang in pinyin, as well as of the surname character spelled Huang in pinyin.
Storm in a teacup, suggest we drop the whole issue and go on to something more useful, I can't seriously care about this anymore.
Well said, Geezer. Fortunately gokunming doesn't engage in it, although it is required by the Forces That Be to pass it on to consumers in order to function. So far this has not been a problem.
Thing about online anonymity, however, is that it can eliminate any serious personal paranoia and simply focus on information, ideas and, perhaps, debate - I cannot possibly take personally comments about alienew, and have a hard time understanding why anybody else has problems with their avatar names. No one thinks right all the time - so what? Considering the viewpoints of others might well be considered a useful supplement to speaking.
If I were a martial arts instructor I don't think I'd accept those with such problems into my dojo.
Have you considered other opportunities to study Chinese in Kunming? There are several.
Incidentally, I don't know where you're coming from but the fact that you use the term 'high school' makes me think it may be the US - anyway, I'm not female, but I don't consider Kunming to have lots of nutty people that might cause trouble to worry about, in comparison to plenty of other places that I've been to.

I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.

Fighting cancer with IT, an interview with Medistar founder Claire Wang
Posted byPerhaps many Chinese have a particularly positive idea about US doctors, but wouldn't the whole operation be cheaper if doctors in numerous other countries were consulted? Anything medical in the US is not cheap.
Off the beaten rack: Finding real souvenirs in Laos
Posted byNice article. Couple of notes (1) as a general rule, seems to me it would be nice if those who put bombs in the ground in a war they lost should be require to clean them up - rather doubt if the UN or any similar organization will ever have the power to enforce such, or even have the balls to propose it, considering that their sponsors are governments. So the world must wait for tourists.. (2, more practical): better to do 10 hours conscious on the day bus from LP to Vientiane than to try to sleep on it at night. .
