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.
Well, I think the canteen facilities are better than most university canteens, though others aren't necessarily bad.
No results found.
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.
A call for volunteers: Sprucing up a Kunming school for migrants kids
Posted by@vicar: OK, will be glad to hear about it. I'll be back early March.

Posted byVery glad to hear of this. I won't be able to participate personally, as I'll be out of China at the time, but I encourage everybody else to (I hope that does't sound lame). Maybe there's some other way I can help out?

Posted byAnother reason to allow ALL workers to become trade union members, with none of the bullshit about migrants from rural areas not really being 'workers' because their id cards say they are farmers. Much of china's economic 'success' has been built on the backs of such people - yeah, but...Whose success was that now?
