Forums > Study > PhD Programs in northern Kunming?

Any particular religious tradition? Do you read Chinese easily? If so there might well be possibilities for historical or anthropological approaches to religious traditions practiced in Yunnan, including those connected with ethnicity (for this you might inquire at the Minorities University)

- but anthropology will require fieldwork, and if you've got a full time job that might not be practical. Do you have an idea for a thesis?

Kunming is not so simple - best to show up, stay in a hotel and look around a bit before you decide where to live. Some people live near Beichen and like it I suppose, but personally I wouldn't want to live there - too far from interesting stomping grounds, which are near the old campuses of about 4 different universities.

OK. but I think.I'd use 'they', for accuracy' - 'we' is too simple and too vague, besides which it seems to speak primarily to US and Chinese posters.

Anyway, note that, for the US military and government, the China theatre was considered the least important of the various theatres of WWII in which US military personnel were engaged, whereas for the Chinese it was, obviously, the most important.

TK2018: Yes, I agree. Very nice writing, not just of the place but also of the experience. I envy the author this one. In reading the article I found myself remembering a few experiences I've had in similar mountain country decades ago (I hope this doesn't sound like boasting) and thinking the author and I had attained more or less the same plane, something we could share if we met - I could identify. Not everyone can express it this well.

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.
